Waiting for next week

I am so excited for next week! One of my best friends is coming out to Colorado to stay with us for about a week! We are going to show her our little "town" of Cripple Creek (needless to say that it is mostly full of casinos): maybe take here for our 50 cent breakfast at one casino, go to a free visitor center, show her the working gold mine, and then go to Breckenridge for their snow sculpture event. I am SO excited! You may ask.. what am I doing this week? I am mostly staying at home.. like normal. :) Tuesday was my doctor's appointment which I went by myself since Chad had to go to work for the week. It was good, and everyone thought Cam was cute :) which I must say that He is! He slept for the whole time and didn't eat and wake up till we went to the library. I made the most of being out of the house yesterday. I went to walmart to get a few items after my appointment then to the library to find some movies to watch while i feed Cam at night (to make sure I don't fall asleep!).
Cam is doing well.. he is currently sleeping in my arms as I type this. Spoiled! He has been only sleeping for a little while then waking up to eat every two hours to eat.. which means I don't get my usual nap. Oh the joys of motherhood :) which I do love being a mom.. but i miss my sleep. hopefully one day it will come back...right? anyways, life is good. we are all safe and doing well.. what else really matters?
I'm so excited and ready for next week!!

One Month and a Week

I have been meaning to update this blog, espeically since Cameron has joined the family. I have had time to do this but sadly the internet wasn't working well enough to do it and then I didn't have the laptop. So here is a recall of what life has been like and how we are doing for the past month and week.
It was wonderful to have my mom here for Christmas and to help with having Cam at home. Christmas was great! Cam made out like a bandit! He got bunch of toys: train set, stuffed animal, books, christmas ordinments, and a pack and play. He looked so cute in his Santa outfit from Grandma Corder! :) Chad got a snowboard that he has been riding from one of the guys at Breck. He loved it so I said yes as a gift. he also got a Wii game, which he has only played once! :) He and cam gave me a few things for nursing that I needed. And I am now a proud owner of a pistol! I love it! and can't wait to shoot it. needless to say I was a little surprised but I should have known better with opening ammo first. It was a great christmas!

We had him blessed the day after Christmas since my mom was out here. Chad's parents left after that to go visit family in Indiana. My mom made Cam's blessing outfit, my grandma darrah (so great-grandma to Cam) made the blanket, and chad's mom made the shoes he wore. so cute!

Cameron has done wonderfully at night since we have been home! He wakes up to feed a few times then gets changed and goes right back to sleep. he is so a good baby! I just pray that this trend continues as he grows. Speaking of growing.. he has done that! At his two week appointment, Cam weighed 7 lbs 9 oz. the doctor was not worried about his weight gain so we go to see him again at two months. At one month Cam weighed 9 lbs 12 oz. So he is probably 10 lbs now! I can't believe how big he is getting.
I have to say that I am enjoying motherhood.. granted i miss sleeping through the whole night, but i wouldn't trade my little man for anything! He has been a joy to both Chad and I. It will be a lot more fun to see his personality as he grows.. So there is our update! we are all doing just fine!
Here are a few pictures from the hosptial and coming home:

Here we are leaving the hosptial!
