Answered Prayer!: Settling In

(Door hanger that Mrs. Courtney made for me--so cute!--how long can I leave that on our front door?)

I can't believe our little man is 4 weeks old today!! These first 4 weeks have flown by and days and nights all run together. I love this little boy more than I could ever have imagined. We are so thankful that is he healthy and doing great! Jason and I were really worried about his weight for awhile. He was born at 6lbs 10oz and dropped to 6lb 1.8oz when we left the hospital. However as of last night when I checked he was up to 7lbs 5.5 oz! Go Baby Cameron! We are FINALLY starting to get it together with this whole breastfeeding thing. Both Jason and I were determined to get things figured out and slowly by surely they are starting to click...still in training but we are getting there! At his last Dr. appoint. I was really encouraged at how well our little guy was growing and developing. We have such a great pediatrician who also shares in our strong belief of breastfeeding--another answered prayer--the encouraging people who have surrounded me.

(I also make mommy and daddy laugh with my funny faces when I'm being burped)

Life has drastically changed and priorities are so different once you are a parent--I love it. I am so thankful that Jason has had so much time off from work so that way he can feed me while I feed our son and help out with dishes and diapers and give mommy a chance to enjoy the luxury of a shower! Jason has learned to master walking laps around the house with Cameron strapped into the baby bjorn and the xbox controller in one hand for when he passes by the living room.

(I love these feet!)

We are so thankful for all of our friends and family who have made meals for us and come to hold our precious boy. There has only been one night up to this point where we had to even think about what we would have for dinner (so we ordered pizza :) )..cooking just hasn't been in the cards for me lately--we have had food brought to us and left overs everyday that we have been able to enjoy.

Cameron has now meet everyone in my immediate family. We had the whole gang together this past weekend. It doesn't get any more crazy, but it also couldn't be any better than this...

Today Jason is at work, but somehow I managed to shower by noon and eat lunch and take a walk down the street....debating on whether or not Walmart is an option to go get some diapers...:)
