Camden J. Scott

He is here! Camden J. Scott joined us on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Because of my pregnancy situation Dr. Herlivich picked a day to cut out my stitches and told me to plan on delivering that same day. So the day was finally chosen and the doc met up with us at the hospital. He took out the stitches at 8:00 a.m. and said unless he heard from us earlier, he would be in at noon to break my water. After he took out the first stitch he said I instantly went to a 2, and after the second stitch was removed, I went to a 2.5. I started feeling some painless contractions, I just felt a lot of tightening. The doc said if I wanted an epidural that I should get it before I went into labor, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to get one. So we had the anesthiologist come in and I had the epidural in place and my water broke on its own at 11:42 and I went right into labor. The nurses were worried about who was going to deliver my baby because the doc also had a scheduled c-section at noon. I kept feeling a lot of pressure and they finally got the doc to come in and well, we got a baby! It took 2 pushes and he was here at 12:22. My last picture of the baby and I all squished together. I am glad that is over! Not that I felt too squished, it was the head in place and the stitches keeping me from dialating that was well worthy of a daily complaint!And this is Camden's first picture!He weighed 7lbs 7 oz and was 19 inches long. His head was so big that the front and back plates of his skull had a lot of overlapping. The proud and excited new daddy!Our first new family pictureAll ready to go home!Just 2 days old, I love these pictures of him all curled up, it makes it look possible for him to be in my belly.Here is Camden at 5 days old. When he was first born he looked a little like Hayden and his dad. But then he lost some chub and his swelling and and we see a little more of Dusty. I still see Hayden through his forehead and the bridge of his nose. I think he is adorable and he gets cuter and cuter every day!

He is my hairiest kidI am so in love with this little boy. I have been so busy taking in all the cuddles, he is a good snuggler. I hold him all I can and hate to have to put him down. We have enjoyed him so much and are glad he joined us, he fits us perfectly. He has been my easiest baby by far! The first 2 nights were a little rough, but since then it has been easy, he goes 4-5 hours between feedings, I feel so spoiled with the sleep I get. Once in awhile he'll wake up to kick and look around and he wants company, but I love the extra time that I get with him during the night. We are so lucky and feel so blessed to have Camden in our family. Love you Camden J.!
