This is for the grandparents...

So, this is one of those videos that won't be interesting to anyone else except those who can claim him--considering, he is not really DOING anything. It is cute nonetheless. We just wanted to show the fam how he is interacting. This isn't his norm--he is usually MUCH more interactive than this--even so, it is very adorable and gives you an idea of his recent noises. He is actually interacting quite well for an 8 week old; despite the fact that he is so distracted by the camera I am holding.

Zeee baby!

**Be sure to check older posts, this one takes up the whole page**

We thought Camden looked hilarious with his little hat and blessing outfit on.

He's a darling little guy.

I love him :)

He's tasty.

This one he looks just like Megs!

CLOSE UP!

Half smile/Half scared

A little more full.

Pensive

Love it.

Beevis. (says Devin)

Sleepy lil guy.

Love, JaNae

My husband saved my life

And I love him for it! :O)



...This post was more or less so that Devin can feel like my life is not all about the baby. Although, it kind of is right now--considering his age and his inability to take care of himself. But nonetheless, here's to Devin!

Happy Pumpkin Day!!!

I went with Daddy and Mommy to trick-or-treat at Aunt JaNae's. She took some cute pictures of me while I was awake, but as soon as we started trick-or-treating in Springville, I fell right asleep in Daddy's arms.


And I just kept sleeping...

But Mom got some cute pictures with McGruff...


Darth Vador...

Mark Twain...

And some Pioneer Women...


They all thought I was pretty special! :O) Here I am at home after the festivities.


But I was getting hungry, so I tried to eat my costume.


When I couldn't get a piece of it--nor would Mom or Dad give me any candy that I helped them collect--I got a tad bit upset.




Believe it or not, I am already smiling! This is just a half smile this morning when I woke up, but you can see it in my pumpkin costume pictures too! I'm such a cutie!

Hey, it's Camden here!

After my first bath. I got a cute frog robe. It makes me a lot happier than I would otherwise be because I get SOOO cold afterward and it warms me right back up!



Mom and Aunt JaNae made me look like a gangsta. Grandma Romney thought it was funny. She likes my binkie that Aunt Robin gave me. I don't keep binkies in my mouth very well, so this occurs far and few between.


I am growing a tail. It gets longer all the time. I would have mommy cut it, but I have seen some of the haircuts she's given Daddy, and I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that one quite yet.



I'm a muscular little man, aren't I? Doing one of my favorite things. I am a lady charmer :O)


Mom is messing with me while I'm trying to sleep.

Newest news

Camden has H1N1 for certain. The test came back positive so they are starting him on Tamiflu. Problem is, I noticed a BIG change in him when he was breastfeeding while I am on the Tamiflu--I think it is upsetting his stomach. We have been formula feeding him for the past two days and he is doing much better that way, but I am nervous that it is the Tamiflu that is causing him so much discomfort and pain. We will see what happens. I am requesting that we stay until we know how he reacts to the medication. I want to make sure he is keeping food down and eating regularly still so that we don't go home and have him dehydrated again.

My advice for the day is trust your instincts mothers. I have never felt so sheepish and paranoid as I have in the last several days while trying to explain that something is wrong with my boy. The doctors told me he was not showing symptoms strictly of the swine flu. They talked with the infection disease control person who also didn't feel he has it. I knew the tests would prove otherwise but just had to wait. I could tell certain doctors thought I was off base, but I will truly be grateful forever to the pediatrician who decided to admit us to the hospital because without him, I do not feel we would be reporting good news at all right now. So far, my instincts have been right, when the Drs may not have been. Just trust your instincts--the Spirit will guide you as He has me.

I spoke too soon...

Since my last post, I have undergone the stresses of being a mother :O) I was certainly paranoid about Camden's condition every second of the day, but have now found out it was rightly so. My last few nights have been spent in the hospital. He was just not the same Camden and was EXTREMELY lethargic, fussy, and in pain. When I took him to the Dr.--after practically BEGGING the nurse to let us in during after hours on Monday--he decided to hospitalize him right away and get him on an IV while they ran tests to figure out what is wrong. Minus the details, the IV helped him A TON within about thirty minutes of getting it going. Since then, he has improved even more drastically. Although we are still unsure as to what his condition is, he is doing MUCH better than he was before. Poor little guy has IV's in him, but here is the proof that he has perked up a bit since we've been here.

Yes, fussy again, but he is showing INTEREST in something again!


In the middle of a spit up
"Oh my, what are all of those machines?!"

And here is some MOVEMENT! What a big deal!

Those were all after he received the fluids via IV. He started to even want food again. Today, I even got a smile :O)


But he was still kinda miserable because of throwing up...



What we DO know:

-His white blood counts are off-indicating a viral infection
-The x-rays of his lungs indicate a mild respiratory infection
-He has pretty bad acid reflux and is now on medication for the next several months. We hope it helps and improves his situation
-He is no longer dehydrated. He even produces tears like he is supposed to! Oh the simple joys!
-He has been tested for H1N1. Doc thinks that he has it because Devin had it last week, but we are still waiting for the results.
-He started an antibiotic today and finally pooped tonight! (Who would have thought a mom would be HAPPY about that?! :O)
-We LOVE Camden SO much and are glad that he is doing so much better. Hopefully it will continue this way! We are blessed and thank you for your thoughts, prayers, love and support!

Please know we love and care for you!
