Camden's here!



Our little man made his appearance just over 4 weeks early!  I went to a doctor's appointment and ended up spending the night in the hospital "under observation."  She (the doc) was 99% sure I would be discharged in the morning and on my way, but wanted to play it safe. The next day we got the news that we'd be having the baby within the next 2 days.  Seriously?  We were caught off guard to say the least. We just moved into our house a couple weeks ago, baby clothes hadn't been washed, a washer and dryer still needed to be purchased, our birth plan was in the works...the list goes on.  To put it lightly, we were feeling a bit anxious and unprepared! After all of that went through our head, it progressed to the baby.  Will he be okay?  Is the NICU a possibility?  How much will he weigh?  

In short, he is perfect!  My parents and Mama Carol made it out here in time for the birth and Camden is fabulous!  I cannot imagine loving anyone more!  I could just sit and stare at him all day.  He was a healthy 6 pounds 10 ounces, 19 inches long.  He arrived on October 3 at 7:24 am. Jonathan is already an amazing dad--it is awesome watching him with our baby boy.  Okay, time to go check on the babe.
