Update: Mommy & Baby

Hey guys! So, I apologize and realize it has been wayyyyy too long since I have blogged about our sweet bundle of joy! Obviously, I do not have nearly hardly any time to blog anymore, but I will try to do better. Camden is absolutely the sweetest baby I have ever met. Ok, I know I'm SUPPOSED to say that because I'm his mama.. but really! He is an angel. I can't believe how quickly time is flying by. He turned 5 weeks old yesterday.. and I return to work in exactly one month. Bittersweet. I absolutely love my job.. but I love my boy(s) more. I have been so blessed with such a wonderful and supportive husband. He is the best daddy little Camden could have and the biggest help for me. We are loving every minute of learning how to be parents and falling more in love with him (and each other) daily. I had my post-partum checkup yesterday (completely healed-- YAY!) and Camden has already had one checkup (2 weeks) and will get his first set of vaccinations November 5. I don't care if I'm a nurse and accustomed to giving babies/children shots.. I am DREADING this day and the tears that will come with it. On a happier note, here's a quick little survey to fill you in on Camden and mommy.

Camden
How old: 5 weeks!
Weight: At his 2 week checkup, he was back to his birth weight of 6lb8oz.. But, being the curious mommy I am, I weighed him the other day and he was weighing in at a little over 8lbs! Growing :) 
Height: 21 inches last time we measured him
Hair color: blonde :)
Eyes: big, bright, and blue!
Favorite food: breast milk :-)
Movement: Wiggle WORM. He loves to flail his arms and kick his legs. He looks like he's dancing most of the time!
Favorite "words": I don't think he has starting "cooing" yet.. but he loves to grunt and go "eeeeeeeee"
Favorite toy: activity mat (unless we're using it for tummy time)
Favorite clothes: anything! He loves getting dressed!
Diaper size: newborn
Clothes size: newborn and some 0-3mo
Shoe size: Haven't even put shoes on him yet
Likes: baths, cuddling, nursing, being tickled by daddy, car rides, and being outside 
Dislikes: he hates his bouncy seat now :( , tummy time, losing his paci!
Who does he favor? That depends on who you ask! ha! Some say Matt, some say me. We think he is a good mix. One things for sure, he has mommy's eyes and daddy's hair line (haha!).

Mommy
Total weight loss since birth (Mommy): Down 18 pounds-- 8 more to go!
Maternity clothes? Nope-- but I did have to buy a pair of jeans one size up.. but I WILL be back in my pre-pregnancy pants by the end of the year!
Stretch marks? Never got any, and so very thankful.
Sleep: Hopefully I won't jinx us. Camden is doing really well. This past week, he has only woke me up once during the night to nurse. By the time he wakes up to nurse a second time, it's time for us to get up anyway. We are so thankful, especially me!
Miss Anything? I miss yesterdays. I know they are days we will NEVER get back. As much as I look forward to the things to come, I realize each yesterday is in the past and we won't get to relive anything about that day, so we are trying to savor every little moment.
Food cravings: Not craving any food, but I drink water ALL of the time. And nursing has given me an excuse for my hefty appetite ;) 
Belly Button: In again!
Wedding Rings: On
Happy or Moody: Happy, happy, happy. I had a few moments of "the blues" the week we were home, but it doesn't compare to the amount of joy I experience from being this boy's mama! 
Looking Forward to: Continuing to learn how to be the best mommy Camden can have. Looking forward to experiencing all of his "firsts". First holidays, first words, rolling over, etc.

Camden with Dr. Reeves. If it weren't for her, I would not have had such a wonderful experience being pregnant and delivering our son. We could not ask for a better doctor to work alongside the past 9 months.
