Cameron's Entrance to the World






CAMERON NICOLE SIMPSON!

I was in the hospital after midnight on Tuesday Jan. 20th, the nurse started me on Pitocin. I was still only 80% effaced and only 2 cm dilated. My blood pressure was still high. Through out the night they kept on checking my blood pressure and increasing the pitocin. Around 5AM or so my doctor was really worried about my blood pressure so insisted on starting me on the epidural. Joe and I really discussed this and took us about 40 min to decide that fine if this will help with the blood pressure then fine. Got the epidural around 6 am and at 7:20 am my water broke on its own! I had dilated to about 4 cm and Cameron's head was completely in my pelvis or as they say zero station. My doctor came in several times and didn't like the way I was progressing. Around, I think 12:30pm she said that we might need to do a C-Sect but would make the final decision around 2pm. So around 1:30 I had still had not dilated any more than the 4 cm and Cameron's head was starting to mold, meaning cone head, and so the C-Sect prep was started.

Cameron was born at 2:39 pm weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and is 19 inches long! And what a head of hair! Cameron is such a blessing and is beautiful! It is amazing how you can love something instantaneously!

Joe and I are very proud parents!

Fall Vacation

Today Joe and Todd went to Fogcutter and watched the Bears game while Kim and I went shopping. We meet up with the boys and went to dinner at On the Border, a great Mexican restaurant, and then back to downtown Chicago to go see the Blue Man Group. We had a fun time there at Briar Street Theater and the show was very entertaining. At the end of the show they had everyone pass tons of streamers from the back of the theater to the front and through all of the paper I briefly lost my engagement ring. Luckily a girl found it who was sitting right behind me! I thanked her a million times and thanked God for letting us get the ring back. After wards the Blue Men we out in the lobby and we were able to take pictures with them! What an enjoyable night!

Joe and I can't believe that we have a 15 month old on our hands! Cameron girl is growing so fast and becoming such a sweet little person. She is very loving to us and is willing to go to our neighbors at any point and time. Cameron loves playing outside, going for walks, and playing with her friend Connor. She is still into books and will willing sit with them by herself or brings them to me for me to read to her. Cameron lights up when Joe gets home from work and will sign/ask for Daddy often through out the day. Cameron has become more attached to her blanket everyday. Cameron will rarely get out of her crib these days without clinging to her blanket. She doesn't need to take it with her when going places, she just likes having it with her right after a wake up time be it in the morning or after naps. At Cameron's doctor appointment she only weights 17 lbs, she only gained 8 oz in three months. The doctor wanted to do a urine sample to check for urinary track infection ...
