Nathan's first night in his big boy bed

Tonight was Nathan's first night in his big boy bed. He did so well. We laid him down at 9:30pm. He got up once, but after we told him he has to get back in bed, he did and stayed in bed. He didn't fall asleep until about 11:15pm though~Lol We are so proud of our lil man.

**Its been 5 nights now, and Nathan is doing amazing. He did get up 1 night at 2am, and crawled into bed with me. I walked with him back to his bed, and told him it was still night night, and he had to sleep in his cool car. He fell right back asleep. He has been getting up earlier than usual, so we just have to work with him some. 7am is too early for him, as he gets cranky real quick. We also do not have the gate at his door, so when he does get up, he will either wake me or Kevin up. Once Kevin and I move upstairs (after baby is born) we will have a gate so he can't escape his room. We won't be able to hear him when we are upstairs and dont want him getting into things and hurt himself.

Let the painting begin!!!

Kevin is on vacation this week, so it was decided we would start working on Nathan's new room. At first we were going to just go with a basic blue color. Then just joking around I said..."Let's go with the Disney Car's theme"

Well it stuck, and we rolled with it. Nathan was all excited. He kept saying "cool car" every time we asked him what his room is going to look like. Kevin's parents decided to buy his bed as his Christmas gift, which was so super nice of them. And my parents bought him the bedding for the bed (Christmas gift) Nathan was so thrilled when it was all done. As of 10/30/10 he sleeps in a big boy bed, and he is doing fabulous. I am so proud of our big boy.

Below are pics before, during and after!!!

It's a GIRL!!!!!!!

Today is the day we find out. I couldn't wait for it to get here. The ultrasound tech started taking pumpkins measurements on everything she needed too, then we heard her say "Come on baby" I was thinking to myself, oh no, pumpkin is not cooperating and we will not find out. Then a minute later she said would you like to know what it is??? I asked her how sure was she?. She advised she is 99% sure, and has not been wrong in 25 yrs. Then I said okay. She said...."It's a Girl!!!!!" Kevin and I started tearing up immediately. I told Kevin I am sure she is already wrapped around his finger. He of course said yes.

It was cute though, the tech would leave to check other areas, and then come back to make sure she is still a girl. I loved it.

Kevin and I had some running around to do before our parents came over for dinner. We stopped at the bulk food store to see what we could buy that would be a neat way to tell the family. We found these cute chocolates shaped like cigars that were pink and said its a girl. So we picked them up. When we got home I put a stick on the end of it, and wrapped them in regular Reynold's wrap. When everyone got there we handed them each one. As soon as Nathan said "GO" They pulled the chocolate out. They were all so excited, and of course said they knew. I informed them, they didn't know it...they assumed~Lol We called a bunch of people too. It was a great great day. Nathan is so happy he is going to have a sissy.
