2 months old

Time is flying by as I thought it was just yesterday that we were taking miss Cameron's 1 month photos. She was barely fitting into her 1 month old clothing. Now at two months, she has grown like a weed. Not only has she grown out of those one month old clothes but she is nearly growing out of all of her up to 3 month clothing as well.

I don't want to see my sweet little darling get bigger as she is so cute while she is so small. However, it is super exciting to see her growth changes. She has really started talking to us. She definitely does this when she enjoys what she is doing. She also smiles after waking up, especially in the morning and after her naps. Currently she is in love with her toy box mobile as well as her swing, plus some good daddy time.

She also learned out to doll from her tummy onto her back for the first time. I'm not sure this is a pattern, but she did it for sure, 2 times. She weighed in at 12lbs 12 oz's at her 8 wks shots with 23.5 length.

Here are a few cute shots from yesterday. Time is just flying way too fast! But I am enjoying it.

Having cuddles with Grandmama Claudette.

For some reason blogger distorted this shot. Her shirt says happy, very fitting!

Just before her bath

Bath time

Talking away

She belongs in the middle in every way. Only girl, born in the middle exactly.

The last shot was her reunion for our prenatal class. Ironically all of the babies are boys. She was surrounded in the middle and ironcially born in the middle date to all of them.

4 weeks Already

Our little munchkin is aging so fast.  Today marks 4wks since she was born.  So far she has picked up the habit of sleeping at least 6 hours at night and eating lots.  Tomorrow we will find out her weight I hope.  I'm guessing it's at least 12 lbs already and her length is definitely a lot more.

Here are two recent photos of our silly little girl.  She's just so adorable, but I guess I'm a bit biased.

What mom?

She's Growing Fast

Our little Cameron is growing and changing so quickly.  Luckily I talked my parents into getting a webcam so that we can chat on demand.  It's been fun so far and Cameron is recognizing her grandma's voice already.

Here are a few photos from the past week.  She got to meet her great aunt and uncle who just adore here.  I have a feeling we are going to have more visitors coming back to see our little peanut.

And She's gaining a lot more head control.  P just can't get used to all of her talking in her sleep.  It's a riot to listen too!

9 Days and 10 pounds

So our little girl is gaining weight beautifully.  She is already past her birth weight as of her last check in but today, she hit the 10 pd'er mark.  Yup, she's eating well!  We are very pleased with her progress and will be very happy to know she can sleep longer in the night without worries.

Been keeping up with the photos even if we are posting them.  Here are some cute new ones.  She smiles lots just like I did.

All Smiles!

Curious, always, and all before day 9.

4 days old

Our good friend and photo buddy came over and snapped away for me the below photos on March 20th.  I'll be taking photos later on, but it's best for me to rest for the most part.  I'm also having issues uploading and making pics smaller for web with my new laptop.  Will figure it out in due time.

 Swimmer feet already - 9cm's.  Longer than my middle finger.

 Yes she's so alert.

Our tired little girl.

I think she's got a mix of my hair and P's Irish blood in there.  Still she's even cuter in person!  

Ok yes I'm biased but I assure you I'm not joking.

We had a girl!

So after a full 5 days in the hospital from tests to leaving, we finally made it home on P's birthday.

Our little one, Cameron, was born on March 16th in the evening. She weighed 9.5lbs and was at least 21.5 inches long.

Attached are some pics of her. I have to install software to get more uploaded as they are too big.

We had no internet access so it was hard to do anything via my non reception phone...

More pics when I finally get around to it this week. She loves to be bundled up! And she is showing true form of wanting to be a swimmer already. Talk about a strong little monkey!

Still Patiently Waiting

So no baby yet and yes it's driving us a little nuts that baby wants to take it's time.  But we are hanging in there.  Really when you look at it all, there is a month window for the baby to arrive and the baby wants to wait the entire month window before arriving!  Or maybe baby just wants to be born as close to P's birthday as possible or the Super moon coming on that day..

All is well health wise for both baby and I.  I'm working on spicy foods and cooked up some spicy cookies yesterday that the entire family just loved!

Here's the recipe for anyone who wants to try them.  They are amazing tasting and I'm sure will be worth it even if you just take out the cayenne pepper that I couldn't even taste.  I think they are chewy version of molasses or gingerbread cookies.

2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. baking soda
3/4 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
1/2 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
8 Tablespoons. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. molasses
1/4 c. egg whites

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda and spices and set aside. Cream the butter and sugars together. Add the molasses to the creamed butter, then add the egg whites until combined. Add the dry ingredients slowly. Once incorporated, roll dough into 1 inch balls and place onto baking tray. Bake 8-10 minutes. Once cool eat as many as you can possibly stomach, lay down for a nap and wait for labor to begin! (Well only if that is what your plan is - laughs...)

I'm officially on Mat Leave

It feels a bit funny to wake up each day just knowing that in a few short weeks our lives will really change forever.  I finally hit week 37 of pregnancy and with that I'm officially off of work, taking some vacation time to relax and finish up some loose ends.


For the most part I'm very tired and usually sick so it's not much of a vacation.

 Here is another photo from my last night out with the girls baby shower.

 And a pic of me today as I keep growing around the belly.

I do remember some beautiful flowers springing up last year.  They have done it again, but I just don't have the energy to go down there to take some photos of the beautiful flowers.  Oh well...  Time!
