Second things second

We planned on taking the little boys to the aquarium before the baby was born. The trip was scheduled for the day before the pending bundle of joy's arrival - no big deal with a scheduled c-section a week earlier than the due date, right? Right...unless the little baby decides he wanted to come early which, as it turned out, he did. Guess he wanted to go to the aquarium too.

The morning of the trip I was having such frequent contractions that my dad drove me to my doctors' office while Paul and Nana took the boys to the aquarium. I knew there was no way I would be able to walk around the aquarium for an hour and a half, but I didn't know that I would actually be having the baby later that day (maybe I kind of did because I did pack my hospital bag before I left). Well, the doctor confirmed that I was in fact in labor and that I needed to head over to the hospital to get ready for surgery.

Paul and Nana and the boys had a fun time at the aquarium (although I'm sure Paul was pretty anxious to leave). Nana dropped Paul off at the hospital on their way back home and shortly after our new little baby was born.

So since I missed out on the trip to the aquarium, D is going to narrate these fun pictures they took...

Here we are looking at fish - a lion fish and a leafy sea dragon that we couldn't see at all. There were some pipefish too. I liked the lion fish the best. Lieutenant liked all the fish. He pointed a lot, made fish noises, and said "eeeeeeeeeeee" and "oooooooooooooo" a lot.

In this picture we are still looking at fish. Some yellow fish and all kinds of fish.

They had penguins at the aquarium too. The penguins were diving and waddling around and swimming in the water. I am seeing how tall I am compared to this penguin.

Here we are still looking at fish. Some fish were making daddy dizzy.

Here we are sitting on a frog. And I'm about to fall off!

Here we are looking at ourselves because there was just that mirror there. At the aquarium we also saw a leopard shark, nurse shark, a big snake, scuba diver, octopus, an electric eel, and a plain eel. I think that's all. I can't remember.
