I am glad to be back after a brief ciesta!
I am ever so proud to report the arrival of our precious new angel, Camryn Grace. Oh, what a peaceful spirit she is.
I was induced to have Camryn on August 26th. She arrived at 5:21 p.m. weighing 7 lbs. and 11 oz. From the moment of birth until now, she is so peaceful. (I did not have any narcotics, she is just a peacful baby.) When she arrived she opened her eyes and looked around and wimpered. It scared me to death because Hannah had such a deep lusty cry. Hannah announced "I am woman hear me roar!" Camryn simply stated "Good Afternoon."
Camryn is approaching 8 weeks and is doing wonderfully. She has began to coo and smile at each of us. She is very interested in her environment and holds her wobbly little head up to study everything as long as she can.
Hannah has become a wonderful big sister. She loves the baby, but is not really keen to the idea that mom and dad have to divide their attention between her and baby Camryn. Hannah is doing much better, but for a few weeks I felt like my precious Hannah would never forgive her mommy.
Hannah has started speaking in sentences saying, "I want mommy," and "I do." I am also extremely proud to report that Hannah says Thank you!!! I thought that Hannah would say "Me do" or "Hannah do" first, but she hasn't. Was I wrong? Which comes first, will she replace I for me later? I am amazed at her language skills. Hannah is the little parrot, she repeats everything we say and gets really frustrated when we do not understand her. We have had to teach Hannah to show us what she is asking for so that we can learn to identify her words and objects. Children are so amazing!
I was watching Dr. Phil the other day, and he mentioned in attempts to decrease sibling rivalry that parents should develop a distinct and seperate relationship with each child. My question, I do everything with Hannah, how do I develop a distinct relationdhip with Camryn? Does anyone have any creative suggestions on special times to spend with babies? I think I just need some fresh ideas, any input you can offer is appreciated.
Well, I will begin updating my diary more frequently! God's speed and blessings to all!
