Cameron's BIRTH Day

I got my computer back and our dear, sweet friend was able to retrieve my pictures! Yay! Thank you so much Michael! So, I'm going to start posting pictures to pay back my "lurkers". Thank you all for your sweet comments and emails; I loved hearing from all of you. Please keep in touch, and I'd love to hear from you more often.

Cameron Grace made her appearance at 8:17am on March 18th.

She was 7lbs 2 oz, 19 inches long. She was close to big brother, Bradley's birth size who was 7lbs 5oz and 18.75 inches long. However, she was much bigger than her big brother, Austin who was only 1lb 7oz and 12.5 inches long.

Thank you Jenny and Beth (NICU nurses that took care of Austin . . .and us!) for attending the delivery! It was very comforting to have 2 friends there to take care of our baby girl. Two NICU nurses attend every full-term c-section at Richland. Jenny brought Cameron over to me to see her for the first time. Sorry, if y'all had to wade out of there with all the amniotic fluid I had! The nurses in the delivery said that when the doctor "broke my water" amniotic fluid came rushing out of me and over the side onto the floor. That doesn't normally happen, and was due to me having polyhydramnios so bad.

My soul mate, my prince charming, my confidant, and truly my best friend. . . our lives crossed paths several times (even went to the same daycare when we were toddlers) before we started dating in high school and have been inseperable ever since. Hubby works long hours as a physician in Internal Medicine. His group is one of the few reamining traditonal ones, meaning he sees both in and out patients, so his day usually involves seeing patients in the hospital and the office. He is a Godly man whom walks daily with Jesus. That is a true blessing. He loves all sorts of yardwork, not that there is much time for that these days. Fishing, cooking, and reading are some of his other areas of interest. He is willing and does help with the housework and laundry as well as daily tasks with our alphabet.

The author of this blog has big dreams and aspirations, but has a major case of ADD which you will come to realize as she bounces from subject to subject. Her God given passion is being a wife and mother to her precious family first and foremost. The Wicker Mama delights in finding her true self enjoying the ins and outs of being a stay at home mom which is the hardest job she has ever had, but also the most rewarding. Her hobbies and interests include Bible study, running and working out, reading, music, being outdoors, blogging, MOPS, entertaining, organizing, playdates, and cooking. Her hubby and her share a lot of the same interests and hope to become more active, as a family, as the children grow and become more mobile. She also leads a 24 family produce co-op.

Our oldest baby boy, AKA: "B", Venti, Bradley Boy, Big Moose, and the big one. He is the leader of the pack, in 1st grade, and an awesome big brother. This budding extrovert has found much joy in meeting new friends and has done well in his new endeavour at school, but leaves a huge void in the house while he is away everyday. His love language is definitely touch as he loves to snuggle. He is all boy jumping from tractors, to trains and cars, to balls. However, he will drop any toy to help in the kitchen or vacuum in a skinny minute. He doesn't mind getting down 'n' dirty outside as he has a love for the outdoors and sports. B's favorite colors are orange and blue and is his Mama's mini me in looks and personality. He is packed full of energy, loves to talk, and his big brown eyes will melt your heart in a second.

Our middle child, "A", Goofy, Austin Doodle, Grande, Baby A, and our second born son is the oldest of the triplets. Our only surviving triplet is quite the fighter and you see it constantly in his fiesty personality. He is our class clown of the family and loves to perform to make people laugh as well as sing. "A" loves cars, balls of all sorts, the colors orange and green, and anything his big brother is doing. He is a Mama's boy, but is a spitting image of his Daddy. A cuddler too he is often found in someone's arms or on their lap and is far from the "touch me not" normal preemie. He even shares a room with big brother, because he hates being alone. However, he is a pro at sneaking in Daddy and Mama's bed during the night. He begs to watch TV and gets quite upset if you don't oblige his request. His big, beautiful brown eyes can light up a room as well as his sweet laugh.

Our youngest daughter, "C", Tall, Cameron Girl, Daisy, little girl, and our little pink pig. She has brought much sunshine to our family as she loves to smile and laugh. What a blessing this baby was when she filled the void of some sugar and spice in our household. She loves her brothers and is often mistaken for A's twin. She will eat anything, especially if Daddy or Mama are eating it, and isn't crazy about normal children's meals- hand her a steak and salad and she is in Heaven! She loves to make us laugh and gets our attention with silly faces and little tricks. She likes to perform, says "Tah Dah", and throws her arms in the air. You will often find her singing and dancing. Cameron Grace is all girl, likes pink and purple, baby dolls, books, and has a radar for pocketbooks. She has sweet, blonde hair and the prettiest blue eyes we've ever seen.

Our 4th son, youngest child, easiest pregnancy, has brought us much JOY. Davis completed our family July 2011 and was our biggest baby at 8 pounds 1 ounce. He is our Davis Doodle, The Davis, short, D, and silly boy that favors Bradley and Cameron. He likes to babble and dance and his smiles are awesome with cute dimples and the chunkiest cheeks. Davis laughs all the time, loves his siblings, being held, and cuddled. He is always on the go even if he's in your arms, because he kicks his chunky legs constantly. If he's on the floor his preferred mode of transportation is scooting on his rear- we've never seen anything like it before! He loves cars and balls. Often you will find him playing ball by himself, throwing and racing to get it before his older siblings capture it. Davis thinks he is as big as the other kids and can hold his own easily.
