2 week check-ups

Cammie and I both saw our doctor's today and we are both doing great. I am healing beautifully and in NO pain. Cammie now weighs 7.7. She has gained 6 oz. in 2 weeks. She eats like a pig so I am surprised she doesn't weigh more. Here are her percentiles for her growth: head and weight 25% and her height is 75%. She got her Hepatitis B shot and will be getting other shots in the next week or so.

Everyone is still doing great and going strong here at home. Dan went back to work this past Sunday. We miss daddy being at home with us but now we have lots of mother/daughter time.

Cammie's Arrival

I went into the hospital on November 2 at 8 pm and they started me on the cervix pills. At 6:30 am, they started me on pitocin and by 8:30 am, Dr. Moser broke my water. Soon after, the contractions were coming faster and closer together. I of course wanted an epidural. It took the anesthesiologist 5 tries to get the epidural in the correct place. The first 4 times I was bleeding and he couldn't have blood interfere with the process.

Around 2:55 pm it was time to start pushing. I pushed twice and the nurse demanded that I stop because Cammie was crowning. Dr. Moser came in, proceeded to put her gloves on, and asked me to push. I pushed two more times and out came my precious angel.

Cammie Danielle Kiernan joined us on November 3, 2008 at 3:04 pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches.

We are home and all doing fine. Cammie lets us know when she is hungry, needs to be changed, or if she has gas. Those are the only times she is fussy. Dan and I are enjoying every minute with our little angel and we could not ask for anything better.
