Cami's First Week

As a word of warning I put a ton of pictures into this post so I hope you will just understand this is our first baby and so we are a little camera happy, plus they are all so cute how do you decide what ones to post? We made it through week one and I think we are in pretty good shape! Here we are leaving the hospital Monday evening.
Me at home that night.
JD that night... he is adjusting to the lack of sleep. Poor guy is used to at least 8 hours, he has been so sweet to help me in the night and so patient with me during my breakdowns. He and Cami love to snuggle and put each other to sleep.
Grandma Redd with Cami. She was a life saver and I am so glad Cami came when she did so that my mom could come stay with us for a few days and help out. I really appreciate it! Thanks Mom!

Maria stopped by on her way up to Idaho to see Cami!
We have decided to take advantage of having a baby in the summer and take walks. I have loved getting out for short walks in the sun, it feels good, just very hot!
JD with Cami

Bath Time.... what first week post would be complete without it.
She is not a super big fan, but is happy as long as she is swaddled in fleece for the bath, something we do routinely in the NICU.
We went for a walk by the temple.

Don't worry Cami we just want to walk with you...
Lawn sign which is also a friendly reminder not to step on the baby :)
Catching one of her many unintentional smiles... wish I was quicker with the camera, but she does this a lot and I love it!
Just chillen
We decided to try tummy time, let me tell you she is very strong. She is always rearing up her head, so here is a cute example of her proving that all the activity in the womb was exercising those muscles so she could be strong and feisty.

I know I already wished you congratulations, but she is such a cutie! I'm glad you posted all the pictures. She really does have a strong little neck there to push herself up like that. I hope you are both feeling well. I know it takes a little while to get over feeling sleep deprived. I guess that you (Liz) are a little more used to it with your different shifts at the hospital. You all look so cute and natural together! Cami definitely fits!
