Basement, Pumpkin Patches, & New rooms!

So Bob had a 3 day weekend!!! And we spent it at home! Can you believe it? We got SO much done around the house that it isn't even funny! Bob completely cleaned up the basement and organized it, while I went through all the old baby clothes and pulled the appropriate sizes out for Camden. Bob cleaned out the office closet and we are using that room for the baby since we aren't going to be here too terribly long after he is born. So, the closet is getting full of newborn clothes and D's room has changed too...read on for further details!

So Sunday Bob & I decide to take Decovin to a pumpkin patch so that he could pick out a pumpkin...figured it would be a fun family affair...WRONG! We get to the nearest pumpkin patch in our area and it was so small that the pumpkins had already been picked through and nothing was left...then we tried to find the second one but they don't have signs posted ANYWHERE!!! What is up with that?!? Those were the ONLY two w/in reasonable driving distance and nothing...so we went to Walmart and picked out a pumpkin...whoopie...Oh well...at least the picture turned out cute:

Then on Sunday, Bob & I decided it was time to move Decovin to a "big boy bed"...so Bob finally had time to take apart the crib & bed and swap them. He slept really well, for his first night, we thought. We had a hard time getting him to GO to sleep but he finally got tired enough a little after 9pm that he crashed. Around 1am he woke up but only because he couldn't breathe...poor guy has a little cold & cough and so that scared him a bit to wake up not being able to breathe properly...so Bob gave him some nose drops and laid with him for a bit and he fell back asleep and slept until 8:30am! We thought he did really well for his first night in a new bed and having a cold. :-) I was so proud of him. We are keeping the door shut b/c he is a "wanderer" and too curious to not leave it shut. We still close the gate at the top of the stairs also. Decovin in his new bed:

Oh and how did he get this cold you ask? Yeah, I'm a bad mom...Friday it was SOOO nice outside that I turned off the heat and opened some windows...then at night I shut the windows but forgot to turn back on the heat...so D woke up at 6am with a runny nose and frozen toes...poor baby! I felt awful...well now he has an added cough since this morning...but I am hoping he bounces back soon...he is still acting like his normal happy self so I am not concerned yet. :-)

Tonight we are going to the Parents As Teachers "Boo-Bash" that they are throwing. We will dress Decovin up and he will get to "trick-or-treat" and do some activities, etc. I'm looking forward to it...hope D has fun too! :-) Well, that is all for now folks!

My blender has never seen so much use...

So Aunt Ruthie came and stayed with me last week and I drove her down to LaCygne for an extended weekend break...well, why she stayed with me she opened me up to the world of the homemade "Moo-Latte" sensation! She showed me how to make them at home and now I can't get enough of them...we returned home on Tuesday and I have since made 4 of them! If you are calculating, yes, that means I had TWO IN ONE DAY!!! What did you do to me Ruthie?! LOL! These things are FABULOUS! Thanks for sharing the wealth!

Also, I don't know if I mentioned it before but I did switch my doctor and I have my first appointment with her today. YAY! Oh and I don't know if I mentioned this either but when I got the sonogram done they measured Camden to be large and said that his due date based on his current size would be January 23rd...this really isn't saying much...but ya know...

********************************

Oh and Decovin did his first movie quote yesterday in the bathtub. He was playing with his shark and did the infamous: "Duh-dum, Duh-dum, Duh-dum...roooaaarrr"...It was REALLY funny!

The official word...

We have decided to name baby #2: Camden David Plummer...

For those of you who read this and don't know my family...Camden is my mother's maiden name and David is my dad's first name. :-) I just found out last night that my great-great grandfather on my mother's side was named Rezin (pronounced: Ree-zen) and I was wondering what the consensus is on adding it to the name? I haven't told Bob about it yet so he may nix it all together but I was thinking Camden Rezin David Plummer??? What do you think?? Please comment. I just like weird names and since it is still a family name thought it was even cooler. I'm not sure if I like it enough or not but thought I would throw it out there. Let me know. :-)

IT'S A BOY!!

It's official...we have seen the third leg!

Tricare...need I say more?

So I decided, after most people agreed that I should switch doctors, to call Tricare and find out what I needed to do. So they tell me to contact my PCM (Primary Care Manager) on base and have them submit a new written authorization in order to make the switch...Sooooo...I call the base and I am literally on hold for over half an hour...literally...before someone answers and takes my info and then states "they will have a nurse call me back"...so after 4:30 hits and no phone call back I assume I got pushed off the stack...I figured I would just try again today...well, I had a hair appointment this morning and then when I got back it was time for lunch and then the phone rings and it is a nurse from the base calling and saying that Tricare will authorize one switch w/o written authorization....??? HUH?! I just called Tricare and they told me otherwise...so they transfer me to the base Tricare Office where I talk to someone and they say that I do indeed need a written authorization from my PCM...so she transfers me back where I am on hold for about 10 minutes this time and the same routine happens...Have to wait for a nurse to call me back...**sigh** I love Tricare.
