Happy Thanksgiving!

1 Month Old!

I can't believe we have had Camden for a whole month! Time with her already is going by too quickly. On the other hand, I can't imagine our lives without her! She is the sweetest, so soft and snugly and the sweetest little face. Camden sleeps most of the day away, except when she wakes up to eat. Last night she slept in bed with us from 12-5, woke up to eat and then slept in her swing till 7:30, a great night for us! I hope to get her back in the bassinet soon, not really sure why, she seems happy in the swing. I have it pulled up right next to my side of the bed and have pushed the bassinet aside. She is a good eater. Most often she likes to nurse every 2 1/2 hours. Last night she went 5 hours! I woke her for the first 2 weeks to help my milk supply and to ensure she gained her weight back by her 2 week appt. At the appt. the doc told me I didn't need to wake her anymore, music to my ears! We aren't on any kind of feeding/napping schedule. pretty much when ever she wants to eat, I feed her and when ever she wants to sleep, I let her. I have caught her sucking on her hands and thumb once, but mostly she loves her big green soothie paci! I sorta hope she sticks with the paci, it is nice to have something that soothes her so instantly. She has pretty good head control for a month old baby and she loves to look around at different lights. The TV, the bathroom lights, a window when the shutters are open. She does really well in the car. We drove to FTW yesterday to pick up my car and she slept the whole way there and after eating there, she slept the whole way back too. She seems to get a little fussy in the evenings. Not sure if it is gas or the reflux, or just that she is a newbie.

Camden Reese we love you to pieces!

No time for editing just now, but here are some pics from the last month.

um...random

well we think Camden has reflux...=very tired parents. it seems to bother her thru the nights... during the days she is happy and sleeps. last night i really don't know if I slept at all. we started prevacid 2 days ago, and we are praying it works for her soon...otherwise maybe it is just gas and we'll never sleep because mylicon wasn't helping much at all. from talking to a friend who had her baby boy a month before Camden, she said she isn't getting much sleep either, so at least I know I am not alone.

her room is almost done, we got the beadboard done, the painters are here finishing the pink and white paint now and her furniture comes on Wednesday. not that she'll be sleeping in there any time soon, but it will be nice to have it all set up.

I got my new LR3 today, loving it! picture to follow...

having dinner guests tonight, must run.

random post, yes I know.

here are some recent pics...and yes Lauren I will get the house pics up soon...oh yeah I have to take some first! you just wait till baby boy comes in April to see how sleep deprived and scatter brained you will be too!!

Bye Bye Butterflies

Well I guess the true sleep deprivation has hit us. Camden's little butterfly outfit has been thrown away (we assume since we can't find it). The last we remember seeing it was when we were looking at Tahoe's last week (no I am not buying one...I bought a Land Rover LR3 and pick it up next Saturday though!). Camden pooped through the outfit and I changed her in the car. I put her outfit in one of those blue poop bags for dirty diapers and put it on my car floor, either daddy or I threw it out, we can't be sure who because neither of us remember doing it (he thinks it was me, and I think it was him). We met my in-laws for dinner after looking at cars and then headed home... I am so bummed because it was one of her very first outfits and she only got to wear it a couple of times. I got it at gap before she was born, so of course I can't find it anymore. I guess I could check the outlets, but I think they are like a year behind when they get things from the regular stores. So, bye bye butterflies, we're sad to see you go!

p.s. HELLO butterflies! I just found you new on ebay! we should have you soon!!!

I Love Newbies!

Seriously, newborns are just the sweetest. They sleep all the time, they love to snuggle on you and they don't talk back! But...I think we may have another baby with acid reflux, poor girl. Drew has been a great big brother so far and gives her the sweetest kisses. Here are some recent photos: we have done many photo shoots this week at home during big brother's naptime!
