I feel bad that I haven't taken hardly any pictures of the kids this last month.  Pat started baseball, I am hugely pregnant, we haven't been doing much lately and I have been so tired.  When I am pregnant I have a hard time sleeping from day one with all three pregnancies.  And to add to my lack of sleep, we moved Ty's bed into Tatum's room so now she has a big girl bed and Ty got bunk beds.  Lets just say that transitioning Tatum out of her crib has been AWFUL!  I didn't realize how easy Ty was when he went to a regular bed and how super easy Tatum was to get down to sleep in her crib until now.  She gets out of her bed constantly all through the night and will stay up until 11pm.  Up until a month ago, she would go to bed at 7pm and sleep 12-13 hours.  Since the day we brought her home from the hospital she has been a great sleeper so I am hoping the newness to the big girl bed wears off soon. 

I had my first parent-teacher conference this month for Ty.  It was so wierd being on the parent side of the conference.  Ty is good at preschool but I know he isn't perfect so I was bracing myself for what his teacher was going to say but she said he was doing great so I was pleased. 

Tatum has her mommy and daddy wrapped around her finger.  She is so animated and funny, it is hard to get mad at her when she is naughty.  She loves dance class and is finally interested in learning her colors, numbers, etc.  She has such a carefree personality and when we would ask her a question she would say, "I don't know."   

Pregnancy update:  About a month ago I started having contractions about 3 minutes apart so I went into the hospital just to get monitored and ended up passing a kidney stone.  The pain was horrible, I wanted an epidural!  Since then I have been on some contraction meds but still able to work.  I was hoping for a VBAC with this baby but the hospital did not give me permission so I am going to have a scheduled c-section.  I was upset at first but now I have come to terms with it and trying to think of the positives of having a c-section.  Pat and I still haven't agreed on any names for this baby...we could go with Ty's suggestion of the name Eyeball  but I am pretty sure he would get teased quite a bit growing up.  I didn't think that I would be able to go the whole pregnancy without finding out the sex but it has made us so much more excited about the delivery.  When I had my 3D ultrasound the baby was facing the wrong way and weren't able to see what he/she looks like, so I am just so excited to see if he/she looks like her big brother and sister!  So, that is the update on our family and a few random pictures from this past month.
