Haisley's first day of 3's Preschool

Haisley was surprisingly excited about her first day of 3 year old preschool.  Once she realized that she would get to take her backpack, she was beyond thrilled.  She will be in the same teachers' class as last year, and I think that the familiarity really helps.  We are so excited to be starting school.

Camille's First Week

We've had a very busy first week at home with Camille.  She has had several visitors, gone on her first walk, took her big sissy to gymnastics, and been a precious doll!  I have noticed that she is staying awake for longer periods of time.  She is so content and rarely cries unless she is hungry.  I realize that she will probably start crying around the clock now that I have put that in writing!!  As of this morning, she weighed 6 lbs, 14 oz.  Benton and Haisley are so good with her!  Haisley hasn't been jealous at all, she just wants to help.  Benton is sweet with her, but still needs a little extra attention.  We love you, sweet Camille.  I already can't imagine our lives without you!

Haisley is in love!  So glad she has adjusted so well.

We went on our first walk!

Camille Meets Haisley and Benton

Haisley has been so excited to meet her baby sister!  When the time finally arrived, she covered her eyes and acted a little overwhelmed by the whole thing.  Completely understandable!  Benton was very preoccupied with the tiger he had gotten.  Camille brought Haisley an Elsa nightgown and brought Benton a bag full of animal figurines.  They both loved their gifts!  After warming up to the idea of having a new addition in the family, both of the older babies seem to love holding Camille and giving her attention!  Love my new family of 5!!

Sweet Camille Has Arrived!

Or sweet and precious baby girl has finally arrived.  We went in Sunday morning to be induced.   I had been having contractions for several days and I felt like she was ready to come!  They started the pitching  around 7:45.  At 9 I was only 2 cm, but was hurting pretty bad, so they started the fluid for the epidural.  The epidural was started, didn't work,  head to be redone, and finally kicked in at 11:58.  It sweet angel big was born at 12:07 pm.  She weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz, and was 20 inches long.  The 3 hours of contractions were the most horrible pain of my life, but 1 second of holding my baby girl made it all worth it!   You are loved beyond measure,  sweet Camille!

Nowadays, they do the first bath in the room, and this momma loved it!  Camille was such a trooper and especially loved when they washed her hair!

After a couple days in the hospital, we were ready to come home!!  We were so ready to be home with our Haisley and Benton and to start our life as a family of 5!!

 Camille!  We love you so much and are so very thankful you are in our family.  You are loved and adored by us all!
