My grandparents came to visit us last week. I wish I could remember the exact number, but now they have over 30 great grand children. I grew up living next door to them and even though they are only a half an hour drive away I miss seeing them all the time. So I want to make it a point to visit them more often. It's amazing how close you can live to family and still not see them any more often than you do the ones that live hours away.
Today I spent 35 min talking on the phone to Tory's cousin Brittney who we haven't seen in a year, but they only live in Nampa, about 40 min. away!

In 2 days Camrey will be 2 weeks old. I'm having so much fun playing "dress-up" with my new baby doll!

We were given about 10 diaper boxes full of clothes for this little girl before she was born! I am so greatful for it. What a blessing to not have to wory about clothes! She has more clothes to wear than the other 4 of us combined!

She is still a little small for most of the 0-3 month sizes, but she'll grow. Mostly she wears "newborn" or premie sizes. She was 7 lbs 1 oz Last week Monday at her first Dr. appt., and they want her back in 2 more daysto check her weight again.

The Dr. wanted me to be more persistant about feeding her every 3 hours, she was eating more like every 5 hrs!

But we've done better this week, and she is eating a little over 4 oz. eveery 3 to 4 hours.

She just woke up about 10 min. ago so I snapped 2 short vedio's while I warmed up her bottle!

So here is her cry...

July 8, 2009; Our Baby Girl!

Camrey Ann Hebdon was born at 3:20 p.m. on Wednesday...


Wednesday morning: We got up at 6:00 a.m. I Showered and made myself some scrambled eggs and toast; and when my Dad showed up at 7:00 to get our boys, we grabbed the bags and headed to the hospital.

It was nice being able to know exactly when the baby is coming! The night before we were double checking to make sure we had every thing we needed, and we didn't! Tory had do make 2 trips to the store that evening; we needed batteries for our digital camera, and I noticed we only had 7 min. of video tape left! So I was glad for the time we had to plan ahead.
We arrived at St Alls at 7:30 a.m. and they got me started on ?Patosin? at 8:30, then around 12:00 the Dr. came in and broke my water. She commented," Wow this baby had a lot of cushion..." We told her it was a good thing because Tyler likes to run up to me and head-butt my belly!

After a perfect Epidural, I finally dilated to a 10 a couple hours later. And a little after 3:00 the Dr. said it was time to push. So for the next 3 contractions I pushed and she was out!

No tearing, no ?epeaseotamy?, 3 pushes and she was out! (Which has made recovery much faster than it was with my boys!)

7 lbs., 10 oz.; and 21 inches long. (Almost exactly the same as Tyler)

So far she is,by far,the easiest baby to care for out of the three. I think after my high maintenance Tyler, My Heavenly Father knew I needed her to be easy.

She is more interested in sleep than food! The first night home I went to bed around 9: 30 after feeding her, and Tory stayed up till 2:00 a.m. when I fed her again. Finally at 9:30 in the morning we WOKE her up and fed her again! Last night (2nd night home) She ate at 10:30 then again at 12:30 and slept all night until I woke her up again to feed her at 7:30 a.m.
(I didn't know new mothers were allowed to get this much sleep just days after having a new baby!)

Feeding her as been a 2 person job until this morning when my milk finally came in! She has a good latch, she's just a little impatient but I think we'll manage!

Anna and Alex came with their girls to see us at the hospital the day after Camrey was born, so we got a picture of Logan and Camrey, only 6 weeks apart! It was fun being pregnant with my sister again. now the rolls are reversed: I've got the girl and they've got the boy.

(Chase and Dejah are only 4 weeks apart, and They have 2 girls and a boy, and we now have 2 boys and a girl!) It's fun. I have been blessed!

I love my daughter, but miss my boys! (They have been staying with Grandma and Grandpa Harris this whole time, just coming to visit. I know I need this time with them away to recover but I still miss having them around!)
