It's a girl!!! As the mother of three boys and a older child (34 years old ha ha) I go through girl withdrawals on a regular basis.. Also I guess when you go through menopause at age 33 you start having that last desire for a baby so what do I do to fulfill that void.... yep I add another baby. A puppy - Roxie. She is a papillion (pap-ee-on) she will not be very big when she grows up and I hope she will be my little one although Charlie is extremely attached to her. I truly believe he thinks I bought her for him. So we now have 3 dogs, 4 cats and some frogs and a very insane Mommy.

Since Richard was able to get a day off work on a weekend, his mother and him decided to take the boys down to Calera to the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch is unique in the fact you get to ride a real train out to the pumpkin patch. So off the boys went and I was allowed a day to go shopping alone which happens very rarely. They really had fun with face painting and they were allowed to each pick their own very large pumpkin.

I am sure this will not be my last post about casts and boys and my life!! But today was the day I took Cameron to get his cast on his arm. He picked orange since that was Mommy's favorite color (wonder if that has anything to do with Auburn?). When we first got to Children's Hospital I thought it would go like every other appointment we have had there and we would be done within an hour and on our way. That was not so.. we were first called backed to a room with a beautiful aquarium where we were told we were going to have more x-rays. I asked to speak to the doctor about why he was ordering more x-rays when at the emergency room they told us we were not going to have to. Of course they would not let me and only let me talk to the head nurse who let me tell you was not friendly at all. So off we went for more x-rays. They then moved us to another room waiting for a little while. We were then carted off to yet another room with another beautiful aquarium (knowing that aquariums are used to makes patients and parents less stressed in waiting rooms) it was really making me mad. There was no way little fish swimming around water was making me less stressed while I felt like Cameron and I were swimming around little rooms in the ortho clinic. Then you will NOT believe what happened next - a nurse comes in the room and says who is next? I said are you for real? You are going to start a brawl in the waiting room if you start letting the patients and their parents decide who goes when... OMG this had to be one of the most frustrating appointments yet.. And yes I am sure the fact my adrenal gland is shutting down (different post) does not help the situation. It took 4 hours but luckily Cameron only has to wear the cast for 2 weeks. I sure hope that it does not take another 4 hours to take it off.
