Swayze

Swayze and I had a little photo session this morning while Campbell and Cooper had some "guy time". Have I mentioned I've become a little obsessed with taking pictures! Campbell and Swayze will both hate the camera before they're five!

Tiny Hands and Feet

I can't believe my little girl is already three weeks old! Time sure does fly! Knock on wood she is such a great baby. We've been so blessed with good babies. She fusses if she is hungry or if she has the hiccups. She has been a little harder to get on a set schedule, but I'm working on it. I fed Campbell 3, 6, 9, and 12 around the clock. If he was asleep, I woke him.. If it was 230 and he started acting hungry, I gave him his paci until three. I know that sounds horrible, but it worked easiest for me and that's what Babywise said do. He was sleeping through the night at nine weeks, so I must have been doing something right. Swayze, on the other hand, will sleep five hours at night, eat and then sleep for three. I wish I could get her on every three-four hours. I just can't get her feeding schedule figured out as to when she wants to eat. She's also a projectile vomiter... So I don't know if that's because she has reflux or I'm feeding her too much. I'm not an organized person by all means, but I like to know when to expect to feed. I also don't think she eats near as much as Campbell did. Is it possible boys eat more than girls? I know that's true when they're older, but what about newborns?

Watch Out, Mama!

As I previously mentioned, Campbell doesn't like for me to take his pictures anymore. So what does he do? He tries to squirt me with the water hose! Since my reflexes are a little slow these days, he was very successful in doing so!

As Good as it Gets

I don't think at the time these pictures were taken that Campbell realized Swayze was here to stay. He was very sweet in the beginning. Now he likes to steal her paci or blanket and act like he's being really sweet. She has no choice but to be tough. She has been poked in the eye and had the first of many books thrown at her.

Now what?

A Boy and His New Toy

This was Campbell's "baby coming home" present. We talked about getting it for him for Christmas, but we decided what the heck. He loves it! He really hasn't figured out how to push the "gas", so we have all had our turn holding down the pedal as he rides around the yard. Campbell has also figured out how to dodge a picture. Notice how none of the pics are of him looking at the camera. He will not look at me if I have the camera in my hand.

It even has a real radio.. His favorite part!

Introducing.... Three Weeks Later

Swayze Caroline Callaway

August 5, 2010

7 lbs 3 oz 21 in

Once known as "Carter Jean'' and "Julia Fisher".. After being in this world for two whole weeks we finally broke down and went and signed the birth certificate. If we have anymore children, I promise not to even discuss a name until we get home from the hospital... Apparently that's how we like to do it around here.. Bring them home with no name and refer to them as "baby'' for a couple days. Her name is in ink and it's final. We're calling her Swayze.

Campbell isn't too interested. He will ask to hold her and that lasts for about 1.2 seconds. Then he screams and holds his hand or head (whatever she touched) and says "eeewww".. Like she really hurt him. Lately, I feel like all I say is "don't touch her" or "leave her alone". He likes to flip her upside down in her swing and act like he is kissing her... Yeah right, I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.. He's already aggrivating her.. That's what big brothers are suppose to do, right?

A little Photography Fun...

I've become obsessed with taking pictures and playing with Photoshop... I never knew you could do so much to your pictures to make them look somewhat professional! Enjoy these of my little man... who doesn't seem so little anymore!

Swimming Pool Fun!

Now that swim lessons are over, Campbell loves the pool or any type of water for that matter.. Pool/bath/mudhole ( post coming soone on mudholes and Cacky).. It doesn't matter, the child loves water. I'm willing to bet if his swim instructor showed her face he would pitch a fit though.. Glad those swim classes are over and I'm oh so thankful he took them. I'm very confident if he were to fall in any body of water he would know what to do!

I think this is my favorite...

He is a funny child!

Silly Boy..

Campbell has so much personality these days. He is so much fun and it's so hard to fuss at him. He can do something that deserves a little scolding and then turn around and pull something like this... All I can do is smile.. Gotta love him!

Mighty Big Shoes to Fill...

This child is obsessed with his Daddy's shoes.. Not mine.. His Daddy's.. I guess that's a good thing he doesn't want to walk around in my high heels... Come to think of it, after all the cleaning out I've done, he probably can't find a pair. He gets so mad when the shoes slip off. I'm talking Pitch. A. Fit. MAD! He is a silly little thing!

Picture Update...

I know I've been slacking lately. I'm slowly getting around to udating everything up until the new arrival of Baby Callaway... I have quite a few!

Enjoying his last few days as an only child...

Today is the Day....

Well... Cooper and I checked in and out of the hospital last night. Turns out, Baby C is NOT head down. She is acting like her Daddy already... Stubborn. We had the option of trying to turn her or scheduling a section. After much thought and deiberation we decided that just scheduling a section would be the safest thing for baby and for me. Turning the baby risked bruising her and I would be super sore. There was a possiblity we would have to do an emergency section or that trying to turn her wouldnt' work al all. We also spoke with one of Cooper's best friends wives, whose an OB, and she said she wouldn't try turning the baby unless we were in the OR prepared for an emergency section... That made me super nervous. My maternal instincts kicked and I felt the safest with just scheduling the section. I will admit I was a little hysterical.. having a section has always been my biggest pregnancy fear. As of right now, I am calm..We shall see how long that lasts. I'm scheduled to go in around ten this morning and have the section around noon. I know I have lots of people praying. I think I prayed every time I woke up last night. Please keep praying and hopefully, I'll have pictures/updates of the baby late this afternoon!

Baby Update

I know it's been awhile since I've blogged.. I have lots of pictures to post, I just haven't uploaded them to the computer yet.

Looks like Baby C will be making her debut on Thursday! Cooper has Wed-Mon off and I told the doctor I would really appreciate Coopers presence.. So, we will go in Wednesday night for the same procedure they did with Campbell. Fingers crossed it works and they won't have to induce on Thursday morning. I'm also hoping it goes as smoothe as it did with Campbell. Prayers are much appreciated! I'll try and get some recent pictures of Campbell loaded.. If not, our next picture will be of a family of FOUR!
