Falling in love

Here are some more pictures of our little Cameron. I fall in love with him more and more each day.

Being a mom is harder than I thought but is getting easier everyday. Scott has done a fantastic job at being a dad from day 1 and I have learned so much from him. I am so grateful to have a fabulous husband that spends so much time taking care of his family. We love you Scott!

Cameron is doing great! He went to his 2 week check up last week and is gaining so much weight!
He was 9 lbs 5 oz and 22 1/2 inches.
I am so glad he is healthy and happy and going to be a little chubbers!!

Everybody, Meet Cameron!




Wow, this weekend was definitely one of the most incredible experiences of my life. In a matter of hours, our lives have completely changed. Sara and I are now the proud parents of an amazing, healthy baby boy. Cameron Scott Talbot was born Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 2:06 am. He weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces and measured 22 inches long. The process of getting him here was long and stressful, but absolutely worth it.

I really want to get some pictures on here for family and friends to see, so I'll be short and let Sara fill you in on the details later. Just know that all is well with both baby and mom. We are now home and are excited to spend some time together before I have to go back to work. So, enjoy the photos.

It's Time!

We just got word from the hospital that they are finally ready for us! We have to be there at 11:00 am, which is about 40 minutes from now. We're not sure how soon things will play out, but we will keep everybody posted. We really are way over on our text messages for this month and are close to going over on minutes, so please let us contact you. Sara has been bombarded with text messages and calls all week and is going nuts!
Anyway, thank you all for your support. We will update you all as soon as we can!

Another Day


Well, Wednesday passed with no cooperation from the hospital. Again, Sara was not called in for her induction and, again, we have gone through the same process so far today. We began the day pretty hopeful, as we were told we were #2 on the list. However, our hopes were soon dashed when we called the hospital around 8:00 am and were told that it was very backed up and very unlikely that we would be getting in today. We've decided that, if we don't get in today, we give up on the induction idea and will just wait until Sara goes into labor naturally. When that will be, we don't know. Hopefully soon.

On a side note, at least one thing will be delivered to us today. My good old Chevy Cavalier is set to be towed from our old apartment in Sugar House to our new apartment in Bountiful...Thanks Steph!! The poor thing needs its engine replaced and we have been too poor to have it done. So, it has literally been parked on the curb outside our old apartment for nearly 3 months now! It's become more of a storage facility than a car. Every once and a while we'll find ourselves needing something and then realize it's in the Cavy. So we make a trip out there and grab what we need out of the trunk and continue on our way. Funny thing is that it would probably sit there for a while longer if it wasn't for the fact that the plates expire today! We've basically waited until the very last second to get it off the street in hopes of not getting a ticket. In order to renew the registration this year, we need to have safety/ emissions tests done. And we all know that it takes a running engine to pass those kinds of tests!

Anyway, although we wish Cameron were here already, sounds like we'll stick with the one delivery today. The second we'll save for another day.

Funniest blog ever!

Thanks Erin…angelburns…it keeps me laughing each day!
Loved todays post!
It has not been going on for that long, so I recommend starting at the beginning!
Enjoy

And No...I still did not have the little one!
Went to the Dr on Monday, I am a 3 and 90% effaced. He stripped my membranes and I am on the waiting list to be induced. The hospital is super busy and there is a chance I will get bumped...I have not had any contractions or signs of labor.
If we go in today to have the baby we will post updates when we can.

The earlier the better.

Well, we've officially completed 39 weeks of Sara's pregnancy. Despite all of the pep talks, begging and pleading directed toward little Cameron, he is still refusing to come out. Wednesday afternoon, I went with Sara to yet another doctor appointment to see what kind, if any, progress was being made. Unfortunately, Dr. Barton was being paged at the very moment he was supposed to being seeing us, so we saw him for literally less than 60 seconds. He did a quick exam and told us Sara was dilated to about a 3 and was still right around 80% effaced. He said her cervix is ready and agreed to the idea of scheduling an induction. So, we have scheduled an induction for Wednesday, the 30th. However, we are planning to call the hospital early Monday morning to see if they can fit us in on Monday. We are keeping our fingers crossed that either things happen naturally this weekend or we can go in on Monday. Sara is to the point where she is uncomfortable at all times. I can only imagine what it must be like. So, as far as I'm concerned, the earlier the better.

Is it time yet?


I am beginning to lose hope Cameron will ever want to come out of my belly. I feel like he is just going to continue getting bigger and live here forever!!! I ate the pregnancy pizza from Trio, I drove to the top of a mountain yesterday, there was a full moon on Friday...and he is still in me!! I do not believe in any of these tales ; )
I went to the Dr on Thursday, I was still dilated to a 2, but was now 80% effaced. The Dr just says..."your cervix is ready...it could be any day now!" Thanks for getting my hopes up doc! Little does he know he will be seeing me on Wednesday with a not so pleasant attitude.
I have been happy and positive this whole pregnancy and that is slowly fading. I am hoping this is normal toward then end of 40 weeks!
Scott has been amazing this whole time and I am sure he is even more excited for Cameron to get here. He has put lotion on my feet and legs EVERY single day for the past month, he picks up everything on the floor that is too far for me to bend over and reach, he helps me off the couch/floor, he cleans the bath tub, buys me ice cream, this list could go on and on...but most importantly he tells me every day that I look wonderful and rubs my big belly! Thanks for being the best husband and daddy in the world! Cam and I love you tons!
