Big Girl Bed!

I can't believe it, but Campbell is at this very moment sleeping in her toddler bed! She's been sleeping there for about 1.5 hours....she hasn't fallen out yet, but even more amazing is that she is actually settled down & feel asleep so easily.

She did shut the door though - I guess she wanted some privacy!?!?!

Back from Guatemala

Deb & Paul are home from their vacation to Guatemala. They stopped by to visit & Campbell was over the moon excited to see her Nana & Papa. Here's a picture of them watching Dora - looks pretty comfy!

Fork

Oh my gosh, I can't believe this happened....we were at a friend's house on Friday night watching basketball & Campbell was eating her pizza with a plastic fork. Half of a fork tine broke off in her pizza & before I could get it out of her mouth she swallowed it. She seemed totally fine, but I kept getting more & more worried about it as the night went on & called the nurse line around midnight. That nurse said to take her to the ER right away. Since Campbell was sound asleep, I thought I'd get a second opinion, so I called the ER & I got to talk to a very helpful ER nurse. She even asked the ER doctor & they said that I didn't need to take her in that night, but gave me some warning signs to watch for and if I saw them to bring her in right away. The next morning, I called Pediatrics Urgent Care to see what they said. The Peds nurse said to check her diapers to see that it passes and if it doesn't pass by Monday I should take her in.

So after 2 days of checking dirty diapers, I found the piece. Hooray! Gabe got off too easy because I found it just as it was his turn to start checking diapers.

No more eating with plastic forks for Campbell! Needless to say, I am not including a picture with this post. :)

Campbell's New Room

Gabe got Campbell's new room set up this afternoon. I think the Baby Class we went to yesterday was a great motivator! :)

We just need to get a dresser, put stuff up on the walls & find some cute new bedding for Campbell. Unfortunately, we have one less guest bedroom, but it's really nice to feel a bit ready for the baby boy's arrival. Can it really only be 10 weeks away?!?!

Campbell was really excited about her big girl bed - as you can see she was very helpful in setting it up. When it was ready, she cuddled right into it & actually stayed put long enough for me to take a picture. We tried to see if she'd nap in it, but she just kept climbing out & running out of the room. I'm not in too big of a rush to get her sleeping there - she is sleeping so well in the crib. I don't want to mess up a good thing!

Dora Backpack

Garet & the boys came down for the weekend to visit. Campbell had a great time playing with her big cousins. They bought her a tiny Dora backpack & she loves wearing it everywhere. They also picked out a stuffed tiger for her that she now sleeps with. She even wanted to bring it to the hospital for her surgery instead of her beloved dog. I couldn't believe it!

Surgery

Campbell had minor surgery today to remove on a bump on the inside of her bottom lip. Her pediatrician had referred us to an ENT doctor & he recommended removing it as the bump was getting quite big. He said it was a mucocele, which is a blocked saliva duct.

I was really nervous about the surgery since they had to put her under anesthesia. But, the doctors & nurses did a great job at the hospital making us feel comfortable about the procedure & it was a good experience considering the circumstances. Probably the hardest part was when the nurses took her away & she was crying pretty hard, but they said that she settled down once she was in the operating room.

She did good coming out of the anesthesia, just a little groggy & fussy for a little bit. She has a couple stitches, but they don't seem to be bothering her. She was her happy self later in the day.

Here's a picture of us waiting for the surgery. She liked the little hospital pajamas because they had bears & rocket ships on them.
