Kameron Neil Wakley

Kameron Neil Wakley was born January 28th at 7:18 am, weighed 7lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 in. long. We are so excited he is finally here. He is the sweetest little thing and we all are quite attached to him already. Things went well during the C-section. Kameron had some troubles breathing at first so he spent about a half hour in the NICU but we were blessed with a perfectly healthy little boy.

I was too excited the night before so I only got three hours of sleep. One of the disadvantages of knowing when you are going to go have a baby!

Kaden was 9 lbs and 22 inches long when he was born... needless to say he never wore newborn clothes. I guess I was kind of expecting the same thing with Kameron but by the time we left the hospital he was only 6 lbs 11 oz. I put this 0-3 mos outfit on him and it was HUGE. The picture doesn't show it very well but his legs are only half way down the outfit. We had to make a trip to get some clothes for the poor guy.

Here are my boys. What a good looking crew! You won't find pics of Ellie with the baby. Until today she pretty much ignored his existence. She never said anything bad about him... she never said anything about him at all really. Today though she saw that he can actually open his eyes and so she started to pay a little attention to him. At least she doesn't hate him! Kaden is quite the opposite. He loves the baby and always wants to hold him. He makes sure he knows where he is and always tells me that he loves our baby. Kameron has the best big brother!

Kameron is the best baby. He sleeps a lot and only cries when he gets his diaper changed. He HATES to be cold. We need to invest in a diaper warmer. He does pretty good at night, I really can't complain. My mom has been here this week which is a life-saver. She pretty much takes care of the older kids and I take the baby. Thanks again, mom! You're the best!

Jess is also a super help. This week at work has been pretty much the worst week to have a baby but he helps out so much and stays up until 2am to get his work done. He always gets up and changes the baby's diaper at night so I don't have to kneel down on the floor. He always takes Kameron so I can have a nap even though he has tons of work to do. He takes such good care of us. I love him to death! He's all mine!

Here's the little guy with his eyes open. He was my most active baby by far when he was in my belly but now he just sleeps all day. I'm sure his energy will come back.

I love that all of his socks are knee-highs. He's so little. At his 5 day appt he had gained .9 oz. They rounded up to 1 oz for us. What a cutie.

A lot of people say he looks like Kaden with Ellie's complexion. I think he's a good mix of both, what do you think?

Like I said before, Kameron HATES to be cold. His umbilical cord fell off today so he got to have a bath and boy did it make him mad. It was about 90 seconds long but even that was too long for him. We love our little Kameron and are so excited he is here and healthy.

Jen he is so cute, does he look like Elli? Congrats! I know what you mean about the newborn clothes both my girls were 6 lbs at birth and they lived in newborn clothes for a good 2 months before graduating to 0-3 months. Jesse sounds perfect.... no sleep, busy and he still helps with the baby.. you lucky lady!

Congratulations you guys! He is adorable - no surprise there. ;) I bet Kaden is a fantastic brother, and how funny about Elli ignoring him. She'll come around and then absolutely love being the big sister. Hope recovery is going well!

i was gonna say he looks like kaden with ellies complexion. I also know how it is not to get any sleep the night before a c-section because your so excited and nervous at the same time. Congrats, you guys have a beautiful family.

Good job Jenn. He is cute as ever! Kind of funny about Ellie, girls usually love babies, I guess now that she knows he can open his eye's and move, he must be real!! Congrats
