Camden is a 1 month old!

As of December 28th, Camden is officially a 1 month old!
In some ways it feels like it has been 6 months since she was born, but it also feels like we went to the hospital yesterday... funny how that works. Well I go back to work on the 19th of January and of course as any new mom would, I have mixed feelings. I am excited to get going with my job but also nervous about leaving our little peanut during the day (not to knock on our childcare, I couldnt be more fortunate, its just the new mommy worries)

Any who.. here are a couple cute pics from SundayShe still has to grow a bit before she starts sharing hats with Adam ( ok A Lot, thats one big hat to fill :-)

Sound asleep in her carrier. She doesnt really like the concept of a pacifier, but I may become her security blanket, just putting it next to her calms her down when she is in the carrier. weird

Enjoy the day! more pics always on the way

What a week!

Oh what a yawn!
We had one busy week!

Here is Camden 'Flying' with my dad!

Camden and Grandpa! So cute

Just chillin'

Sleeping with daddy! She loves to sleep on her belly, only with supervision- dont worry

Super baby, look at how fast she is running!! OMG Cammie G is getting her daily workout routine in preperation for her athletic dominance in every sport! jk

I hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday and now its only days from 2009! Hard to believe.

Wow! Christmas was a blast, especially because my family, mom, dad and sister, were able to come up from Florida for 8 days! I couldnt have asked for a better xmas present. They are now back in FL and I am back to blogging. Camden did great for her first Christmas, she slept through most of it and even got a shout out at church during the xmas eve service. Camden is now 1 month old and growing more and more each day, its so exciting to watch her focus on objects and follow sounds and faces. Thankfully, Adam and I have both gotten better at diaper changing at a lightning fast pace because our little sweetie loves to be free and pee everywhere as soon as her diaper is off!

Baby annoucements have been ordered and are on their way to all of you in the next week or so, bare with me and the slow distribution, having a babe kinda changes the priorities :-)

The Gators and a Little Girl!

It is official, I am blogging again. Now with a busier schedule I am aiming for 2-3 blogs and baby updates a week!

First Go Gators! How about it, pulling out a crazy win vs. Bama for the SEC championship and also earning the right to be in the National Title game! Go Gators Jan. 8th

AND even more exciting....
Camden Grace Horseman was born November 28th, 2008 at 1019pm at Southview Hospital in Centerville, Ohio. We didnt expect to be surprised with her birth until early December. I went in on Friday morning, after doing some black friday shopping, for a checkup on fetal heartrate, contractions and my amniotic fluid levels, the Dr. could not get a sufficient reading of the amniotic fluid level, so they decided to induce labor that day; about 38 weeks gestational age.

So, about 10 hrs after being induced and about 6 hours after the epidural (Dr. Bob is the best ever!) we had ourselves a baby girl! Camden was 6lbs 13.9 oz and 20 in long, not bad for 2 weeks early. I was so blessed to have the doctors and nurses I did during my labor and delivery, they truly were remarkable and made the experience one of the most memorable of my life... by far.

Here is a pic or the proud parents and Camden the next day, at the hospital. The hospital now does a series of 'glamour shots' for the new family rather than the regular mug shot.
