Names

Tonight Tate decided we should name the babies Emma and Paisley. It is a step in the right direction form his last name suggestion of Justin. The boys were playing doctor and Tate had to check to see if there were any birds in Brett's ear. 

Elephant

Tate would not go to sleep tonight. He said he was angry because there was an elephant eating peanuts in his bed. Then he mentioned that a tiger was biting all of his things. Animals should not sleep in a bed. Animals live in a zoo. He is really hating his breathing treatments. 

Sonogram

We had a sonogram and an appointment today. The babies had their heads together and were facing each other. We got to see Baby A yawn and practice breathing. It was so neat. They both still appear to be girls and measured to weigh 2.2 lbs each.  Tate is feeling better but Brett and I have colds. 

Nebulizer

I took Tate to the doctor just to check that his cough was viral.  Since he hadn't slept in many days I wanted to make sure we were doing everything possible. The doctor thought it was viral but it sounded like he was having issues with his upper airways. She is suspecting he has a bit of asthma since he has eczema on his face. So, we waited at the doctor while they made arrangements to get a nebulizer. Tate did good until he threw his tongue depressor in the trash then he lost it. Shortly after that they came back with our paperwork.  We went to the pharmacy and got albuterol. We only had to wait a few minutes. On the way back to the car Tate got his second wind and ran away from me. Then we went to the medical supply store for our nebulizer. Our prescription for that never made it so we called the doctor and waited. It still didn't come. This place has merchandise all over and Tate couldn't stop touching it so we decided to grab lunch. He ran away from me while we ordered at Wendy's. He did everything but sit and eat and ran away again to go say hi to a boy. We headed back to the store. I had to fill out a million forms. They lady helping me had no clue what she was doing. I filled out the wrong forms and she couldn't even put in sales tax on the register. Tate was a mess!!  He started driving around the walkers and climbing on the scooters. He was pulling signs off the displays. He would not listen to me at all. We made it out alive. He fell asleep on the way home. I put him in his bed and he napped for three hours. Hopefully he is on the mend.  Oh, and he hates the nebulizer and the only treatment we did today was a giant fail. 

Tired

Poor Tate is exhausted!  Every time he lays down he starts coughing.  I mean BARKING. He has been running a fever off and on of about 100. We have been trying our best to help him feel better but the only way he can sleep is sitting with one of us in the recliner. Even then he coughs and cries. I asked him to point to where it hurt and he pointed to his chest and said down there. Hopefully he is on the mend soon!

And, while I was stuck holding Tate in the recliner for hours...I tried my hardest to capture my belly bulge. The babies try to reposition and I get a head or a butt bulging out of my belly that you can feel. It is actually painful but I think it is neat. 

Squashed

We saw a hearse today on the way to school. Tate said, "Mom, that white car is squashed!"  He had a good day at school. He has a cough and runny nose. Poor guy! 

Happy Birthday to Henry!! 

Sleep

For some reason Tate isn't sleeping at night or napping well. He wanted his little bed back so we took his mattress back off the frame. He did good at school today.
