Falling Asleep On The Job

Yes, we're tired. Last night at some point (don't ask me the time) Katie and I got up to feed Campbell. I went to pick her up to stop her from crying and came back to our room while Katie was getting the rest of her things together to feed her. Well, as Proverbs 6:10 goes ,"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest...", one thing leads to another, and its snoozeville. Katie amazingly had her wits about her at this wee hour and grabbed the camera and was able to snap this photo. These are the kind we'll enjoy many many years from now, say perhaps at Campbell's rehearsal dinner or something. A little Daddy/Daughter moment. I like it. No, I love it.

Uncle Gavin & Aunt Alissa Visited Me!

Sorry my mommy and daddy haven't updated this blog in a while, I'm keeping them kinda busy. I got a little sick and mommy is still getting better too. But guess what! My Uncle Gavin and Aunt Alissa came and visited me and we had lots of fun. They held me and played with me and tried to keep me awake after I ate. I think they mostly hung out with mommy and daddy, but I can't say for sure, I was sleeping most of the time they were here.

But I sure am glad they came! They love me a whole bunch and took some pictures of me. I think my daddy is sposed to be putting them on here for everybody to see. I get kinda embarrassed but you gotta give the people what they want I guess. Well, its time for me to go back to sleep, but I'll tell daddy to post more often, so don't get too mad at him, k? I love you guys and be sure to comment on how cute you think I am. Just kidding . . . okay, I'm not. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I put on my best Valentine's outfit and wanted to show everyone my best side! I love you guys and hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day! I'm pretty tired now, so I'm gonna go take a little nap...
Love, Campbell
P.S. XOXOXOX

Campbell Unplugged: Live from Mobile

Praise God!! Campbell's bilirubin yesterday was around 12 so the pediatrician said to keep her on the light until this afternoon and then we could stop. Katie and I are so thankful. It might not seem like that big of a deal, but now Campbell can finally sleep in her own crib in her own room. Up until now she has been sleeping in the Pack 'n Play downstairs so she can be close to the light. Its also so nice to not have to aggravate her by putting that light up her shirt every time you change her, which was every 2 hours; thats how often we were having to feed her around the clock. Its just one more step toward resuming a quasi-normal existance and we are very thankful.

Bath Time, plus

We gave Campbell a bath today. Thought I'd share some cute pictures with everybody. A couple aren't of bath time, but I thought they were good too. I love to see her yawn! On the bilirubin front, we are waiting to hear what it is today, but from Friday to Saturday it went from 19 to 17, so hopefully today it will be around 13-14 and maybe she can come off the light by tomorrow or Wednesday. We are all doing pretty well otherwise, just trying to get the hang of this, but I think things are going pretty well... enjoy the pics.

Home and adjusting...

Well, we are all home now. Campbell's bilirubin* was a little high when we got discharged from the hospital, which is not uncommon. So, she has to have this UV light thing that slips under her back to help breakdown that bilirubin. She has to have it on as much as possible, which is kind of unwieldy but not too bad.

Katie is doing much better and is up and around wonderfully. Last night was pretty sleepless, which I'm sure will be the norm, not the exception. Campbell is starting to do really well feeding, and I am so proud of Katie's patience. Bailey (our dog) is doing great with Campbell as well, being really gentle and sniffing her to figure things out. Here's a new slide show with some more pictures. Keep checking back for new ones! For now . . . its nap time.

Finally OUTTA Compton!!

Our precious baby girl Campbell Grace was born unexpectedly yesterday at 2:12pm and weighed in at 7lbs. 12.5oz. and measured 20 inches. Both mom and baby are doing great! Katie did so well! Here is a smattering of pictures for those of you chomping at the bit...

No Joke

Oops! Katies in labor. Stay tuned . . .
