Knights and Knives

David got a vasectomy last Friday. While David was under the knife, I took Ben and Noah shopping (Em was at her friends house). We went to the dollar store to kill some time which means we have to spend a few bucks on toys that will break within an hour. Ben found these awesome knight helmets and swords that light up and make noise. I'm happy to report that they are still in tact.

Introducing Sir Bencelot and Lady Emevere!


The other day my Mom asked what Ben thinks when he holds Noah. Um, he's never held Noah. Emily asks five times a day. Ben never had and it never even occurred to me to ask him if he wanted to hold Noah. So, I asked and he said yes.


This poor little guy went under the knife today as well. They don't like to circumcise preemies. Our doctor wanted to wait until he was between 5-6 pounds and 6-8 weeks. So, today was the day. David took him and actually stayed in the room and helped hold his arms down. The retelling of the story made my penis hurt, oh wait, I don't have one, but it was like sympathy pains. They did numb the area and he's been on tylenol ever since, but it just looks so painful.


Our little man also weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 12 ounces. He was one ounce short of gaining a pound in the last 11 days. Ben was 6 pounds 13 ounces and 2 days past his due date. Em was 7.7 and on her due date, so Noah will definitely be bigger than both of them on his due date, which was October 2. It's hard to believe he wouldn't even be here right now.
