He's HERE!

Yesterday, December 18th our fourth and last baby was born at 1:21 pm. It was a great experience. We came to the hospital at 11 am and I got an IV put in. We did all the pre surgery things and at 12:55 pm we walked into the OR. I had three surgical procedures so I was in surgery for a little over an hour. Chase is absolutely perfect! He was 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. He has hair too even on his ears just like Cole did. He also has two huge dimples :) He is a good baby who loves to sleep (so far) and loves his binky. During the surgery Andrew was in complete heaven. He loves to watch gross things. I was trying to ignore what was happening while Andrew was asking every question he could think of. The anesthesiologist was happy to explain all that was happening. It was very fun to watch Andrew's face as this was happening. During the surgery I was laughing and talking with the nurses and Dr. Jarem until one of the said are you really going to be this happy the whole time? I laughed and Dr. Jarem said "yep she is just a happy person" it was a neat experience that I hope to never happen again ;) All is going well, Chase is wonderful and while medicated I am feeling great. Note to self: don't forget to take your meds. I learned that the hard way today. All in all I couldn't be happier or feel more blessed.

Temple Lights

I decided on Monday night that I am only two weeks away from delivering this baby so we had better go to the Temple Lights now before it is too late :) We met our friends the Jones' there and we watched a few minutes of the musical performance. We decided to walk around a bit and then take the kids into the visitors center. We let the kids watch a few of those little videos and then we watched Luke 2. Never have I been so entertained during such an amazing video. Wyatt started asking questions like who is that lady and why is she on a donkey? I told him that was Mary and she was about to have Jesus just like I am about to have Chase. Then he started saying "well, I am Babycakes Wyatt Joseph Knudsen!" Then he said "you are Jenny Porter Knudsen but I call you Mama!" All of this at an inappropriate volume during such a movie :) The lady in front of us told us her name and Wyatt said to her "Who cares! I am trying to watch the movie" by this time I was laughing so hard, quietly of course :) Then he said "Hey Coach Ryan that is Jesus!" Ryan told him to shhh and watch the show and he said "I gotta do my homework!" This kid cracks me up! We had a good time and then we went and had ice cream at dairy queen. This definately put us in the Christmas Spirit!

Potty Training

I have been whining to everyone that Wyatt seems to have no desire to potty train. On Sunday I was talking to my friend Jill about how I was worried that Wyatt was going to be in Sunbeams and still in diapers. We talked for a while about how to make it seem like an exciting time for him to want to use the bathroom like a big kid. When we got home from church Wyatt found his underwear in his drawer and asked to wear them. Usually I let him over his diaper but I thought lets give it a try. I told him he could wear them if he didn't wear a diaper and after 4 accidents he hasn't had a single accident. He seems to have really gotten the hang of it. Yesterday he went with Grandpa to take the missionaries to the library and to lunch and he stayed dry the WHOLE TIME! I was worried that I was going to have to start over but he did it himself! YEA!!!! What a big boy!
