Sweet Baby Girl!

Cambri Christine (named after her amazing grandma who handed her to me that morning) was born 2 weeks early, last Wednesday December 17th at 7:01 am. She weighed 6 lbs and is 19.5 inches long. And I must say she is gorgeous. She has tons of dark black hair, I have no idea where it came from but it is beautiful and I am already having so much fun with bows! She is perfectly healthy. So far she's an angel during the day and not so much at night...but I am holding out that she just has her days and nights mixed up and that will get better soon! I am working on recovering and can't wait to feel normal again. Having babies isn't for sissies that's for sure.




Carter has been amazing with Cambri. He give her kisses and always wants her to have her binkie just like him.





This is the horrible snow storm we drove home from the hospital in on Friday afternoon. It took us an hour and a half at least to get home.






Daddy and baby sleeping in hospital.



Cambri's first kiss from big brother!

Jenny was amazing. My mom plays such a huge role when we have babies and this was my first baby without her by my side. I know she was there but it just isn't the same. I was terrified to have this baby without her. Jenny had been sick that day and she still got up and came to the hospital at 230 am and stayed with me the entire time. She was everything I needed! Jenny thank you so much I can't express my love and gratitude for you on that amazing and emotional and difficult night! I love you!



Jason was amazing too. He stayed by my side while I labored for 2 awful hours at home. He kept telling me how proud he was of me and completley took care of me! Thanks Jason! I love you!

Congrats you guys! I was so glad I got to come see you in the hospital. We don't see each other often enough, so I probably won't see Cambri again til she is much bigger. They are so sweet and adorable when they are little. I have to say good job on this one. Love you guys!

Jenny said...

thanks shan, I would do it all over again. It was amazing to see the little muffin born. I love her dearly. I love you too, you are doing great and I am very proud of you!!
