Happy Birthday Cameron!

The day has finally arrived and I couldn't be happier! Cameron Carl Sweet arrived today at 2:53pm weighing in at 8 pounds 3 ounces and he was 21 1/2 inches long. According to everybody's guesses, Missy and Cathy were the winners. What do you want as a prize gals? :)

Here are some shots from the day:

Induction has begun!


Without discussing too many details over the web, this baby was not that easy to deliver. At one point I wondered if I was going to be able to seal the deal! I'm so thankful he is here and he is so cute! Here is my nurse, Elizabeth; my doctor, Dr Laine; Cameron, me, and Sam.


Lucky for me, I got to watch my mom, Fern, and Fontella change Cameron's first ga-nasty diaper. It was actually pretty funny to witness.


Here is Sam giving Cameron his first bath:






As many of you know, Sam purchases for Life Flight. They gave Cameron this cute little shirt:


Welcome aboard Cameron...


...and just so everyone knows what new babies REALLY look like...

Congratulations!

I thought about you all day.

I hope you're recovering well and that the lil' one continues to save the nasty diapers for everybody else!

I wish I was the Missy that won! Do I get anything for having the same name as the winner? I'm glad you were able to "seal the deal". And I love the last pictures of what new babies looks like. I turned all of Hadleys new pictures black and white, and now they are all really cute pics.

I checked the blog about 50 times yesterday (no joke!) Especially since Sam sent a "check the blog in 20 minutes" text. LOL At least I was able to sleep since he stopped by witht he camera. :) SOOOO CUTE!!!! I can't wait to meet this little guy. I LOVE that last picture. Sam said he looked like the "mandrakes" from Harry Potter....LOL that's pretty funny!!!! OH and I LOVE the name Cameron!!!!

DJ and Gin Family said...

Congrats!!!
I'm glad you were able to push the little one out! He is pretty cute... I love his hair. I especially like his little old man picture. (Peolpe think that I'm mean when I say that my babies looked like old men, but they did)!
Have fun with babe, and hand off as many gross diapers as possible! (I like the fact that it took 3 of them to change him)!!

I have to say that watching your daughter give birth is at the same time wonderful and heart wrenching. Carrie is an amazing daughter in every way.I guess we should give Sam some of the credit, also. I watched him giving Carmeron that first bath, and got a bit teary watching the whole process. I wish every baby could come into the world surrounded with so much love. Welcome to the world little guy! (Grandma C.)

Congratulations Carrie (and Sam). I'm so happy you are all happy, well, and able to sleep on your stomach again. Love the pics. Can't wait to see more of baby Cameron and the rest of you.

The Webbers said...

Congratulations!!!! We are so happy for you guys. And as always I love the pictures..

Jill said...

Congrats Carrie and Sam. I remember how cute Parker was and Cameron has that awesome hair as well. I am still stunned he didn't come sooner, but it sounds like he really didn't want to come out. Must be somewhat smart! Can't wait to hold him. I'm bringing dinner again, so you best call when you're ready. Besides, I can't wait to see the babe in real life!

Laurel, Brian, Addison & Liam said...

Oh great, here come the baby hunger pangs again.... What a CUTE baby, and I love that he can already have a little mohawk, he's rockin' it like it's nobody's business!

Sam, the pics of you bathing Cameron are so precious, you're a cute dad!

I can't wait to hear the gory details of the birth.
