baby week 2!

Me and my newest buddy! He is so sweet and soft and snuggly and he smells good too! No wonder I don't ever want to put him down!
We had some awesome visitors come last week, first my friend Becky! I found out she was back in town after moving a year ago, and then I got a call from her and I was one of the lucky ones that got to visit with her. She was one of the very first people to welcome me when we moved here, then we served in the YW presidency together and she was there with me during what I think must have been the most terrifying moment in my life. I miss her and don't know when I will see her again, but was so glad she came to spend some time with me! Thank you Becky! And then a couple of days later my mom came for a visit. She flew in and before we knew it, it was time for her to go back home. I did share my baby for a few minutes - and here is proof! I shared a lot! ANd now I get him all to myself, I might be a little selfish when it comes to sharing my babies! I hope the time here was somewhat enjoyable as we had an emotional Kyrie and defiant Hayden for the few days that she was here. We are greatful she was able to come!While she was here, we had her take a pic of us in our new family pajama shirts I love how babies position themselves! Kyrie is so helpful, when she hears her brother cry or even squeak she brings him a diaper.Saturday was such a beautiful day that we needed to spend it outside at the zoo. We only saw a couple of animals before we found they put in a play place with a little stream. We ended up spending the rest of our time at the play area and the kids ended up completely soaking their pants.

baby

1 week old - I love these bears, they help keep his head from flopping around while he is in the car. He loves to eat them.We ordered pizza, and Ky pointed to her mushrooms and asked why baby Camden pooped on her pizza. She has had a hard time taking it all in. She has been very emotional. She wants to know why baby Camden gets to use her baby wipes and her stroller. She runs into the other room when Dusty holds the baby and cries, "My Dusty Boy makes me cry". She has a hard time that she now has to share her brothers attention. She made me feel really bad a couple of days ago when she curled up into a ball and said, "I need my mom back". I feel really bad for her because most of my time and attention is now mostly on the baby. But at the same time she loves her brother. She gets up on the couch with him and talks so sweetly and strokes his face very gently. She tells him that she loves his tiny fingers, toes and his tiny hair. Although it is hard for her, she loves being a big sister and is a great help.Camden's first bath...11 days old

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.!
