12 Weeks of Maternity Leave!

Yesterday I started back to work after 12 weeks off with this little man:

I can't begin to explain how fast it was because it feels like just yesterday I popped him out at 7lbs 11oz and today he weighs in at just over 15lbs!!

Cameron Ronald has been such a blessing, to me he looks just like his Grandpa Ron, life has not been the same. My maternity leave was great, however the weather could have cooperated a little better but unfortunately that's out of my control. I swear we went from heat to air conditioning and now I'm back in my little cubicle, blogging!! See where I get more work done?!

During my maternity here are a few things we've done!

Came home from the hospital with this bundle of joy!

Cameron was born on March 13th at 7:30pm weighing 7lbs 11oz and 20.5 inches long.

Got lots of snuggles and cuddle time with lots of people. Especially Great Grandma, she's go the touch!

Celebrated his first St. Patrick's Day!

More cuddles from big brother - he wasn't too sure of him at first, but he loves him now!

More snuggles

We celebrated Cooper's 2nd birthday! Cooper can't wait to pull Cameron around in the wagon of his new tractor. I can picture it already!

Our first weekend away from home, we spend the weekend in Davenport with Mom and all her camping friends.

The water was FREEZING! Glad I had a baby with me so I didn't have to go in!

Andy had a little too much to drink one night!

 Cooper loved this hat! Some is very sleepy in this picture.

My niece Lauren Kelley was born!

The kids had an Easter egg hunt at school and he came home with lots of treats.

Someone is spoiled by there Aunt and Uncle - can you guess who?? We love you Luke and Steph, Leah, Lane and Lauren.

We visited Bacca on her school bus - Cooper was in Heaven.

Cameron just loved the snuggles.

big smiles!

Uncle Hendu stopped at Grandma's while we were visiting to get some snuggles.

Packing for our trip out to CA to meet my new niece. Me, Mom, Grandma, Cooper and Cameron all went out for 5 days to visit, it was a blast!

My boys sleeping the night before we left!

Grandma and Cooper's ride, it worked out great and Cooper loved sitting on "big bacca's" lap while getting pushed in the wheel chair.

We made it! Leah wanted to hold Cameron and by the looks at it Cameron loved her holding him.

Reading books

These two are going to be troublemakers!

Every night something was on the grill, the food was awesome as always!

The kids ate at the little table and did an awesome job eating!

We finally got to camp, but it was still a little chilly!

"come on mom really, do you have to take a picture of me?" ha!

This boy loves the camera and he's super excited to finally be camping too.

First day at daycare (4 hours while mommy got her massage that I didn't get at the hospital) he slept through his first fire drill and didn't wake up at all!

Cooper is finally starting to go potty! Slowly working on this!

Uncle Luke came back for a quick visit for Justin's graduation party and Cameron's baptism. Luke and Steph are the Godparents to Cameron!

Never a dull moment around with this goofball!

 

Justin graduated from High School and Chris and Kristi had a party for him.

Cooper leaning on Justin during there break from bean bags.

KK making Cameron laugh and smile.

Baptism day! Cameron wore the same outfit Cooper did and it barely fit him! Thankfully we Baptized when we did or we would have had to buy a new outfit.

Don't he look so handsome?

One proud Godfather right here! Stephanie was with us in spirit...Cameron snuggled with Luke the entire mass, it was so precious.

Luke says during mass "Rach say cheese as he's holding his phone down" LOL

This is us in Church, I'm pretty sure it was before mass though.

 

After mass we had a little get together at our house for the "little angel"

 

First time swimming and they both LOVE the water.

Sunbathing! LOL what a ham...

Cooper being silly with daddy's sunglasses.

Tummy time!

Tom's cousin Missy had her baby, finally after 36 hours of labor, baby Landyn was born. Cameron and I went for a visit, they are going to be buds when they get older...

Cooper trying to "pump" this boy just cracks me up, he does not let anything get by him!

Gavin turned 2!

One of my last days at home with my two babies.

First day of daycare - mommy goes back to work.

Well, that sums up the last 12 weeks of my life! I wouldn't change it for the world and I am so blessed to have 2 beautiful and healthy boys in my life. They are the world to me.
