Big Boy Rooms, Dead Fish and Baby Photos

So, we have had a lot going on this past week or two (hence the lack of blogging). The big news is that Tater's new big boy room and big boy bed are almost complete. My mom spent her President's Day over here painting, since Nathan had to work and I am pregnant. We are going for a Dallas Cowboys theme and I think it looks great so far. We aren't finished with the stuff on the walls (I made a magnet board and ordered some Cowboys decals and stuff). We also got a used toddler bed for Taters!! He hasnt' slept in it yet, but he is very excited about it. Let's see how that goes!!
In other news, Tate got his first pets last Saturday: three goldfish. He named them Dorothy, Nemo and Lips (my favorite). They lasted about 36 hours, but it was some of the best times of our lives! :) Tate hasn't noticed that the fish are dead yet, so no real trauma has occured yet. We might spring for another 28 cents a fish and get some more- after we have mourned for our friends. I didn't even get to take a picture of Tate with the fish because our time was so short....
Also, Taters has been one sick little boy the past two weeks and we finally took him in to the doctor yesterday to find out that he had a double ear infection and a virus. Poor little guy!

And, I had my 20 week ultrasound appointment yesterday (even though I am 22 weeks by now). Everything looked great with the little guy and he is coming right along! The official due date is July 4 (Yankee Doodle Dandy), but we are doing the c-section a week early. Here are a few of the photos from the appointment:

Tate looks so cute in his Cowboy's room, but I still can't believe he's big enough to be in that bed! Thanks Meg for inviting me to the ultra-sound, it was sooooo wonderful to see our new little boy, I can't wait to meet him.

Oh my gosh the room looks AWESOME!!!!! We are buying our first house and I'm so looking forward to painting and doing just what I want and how I want it!!! Okay so funny, to celebrate our new house I went and got Savannah two goldfish and she named one Barbie and one Abbey, both died within 48 hours and she had to tell the whole world how "barbie...Abbey....die" over and over with the saddest look on her face. WE replaced them and she yet again named them Abbey and Barbie, totally unfaced by the death of the two previous! I'm so excited for you, oh and we're coming out in April for a week and I so want to do a little DCFS gather..Amber, Taylor, You and whoever else. :)

Hi Megan! I'm so glad you're having another boy! I love having two little boys! (Even though they're wild and crazy and mischevious...)

Tate's big boy room looks awesome Megan (though I'm not surprised)! And I'm proud to report that I've had better luck with Drew's fish. He's lasted over a month! Maybe you should try a beta next time. If I can keep the thing alive, anyone can. :)
