The other day, I was looking at the pictures Cindi took of Camryn’s birth, trying to find one of me and my sweet girl for the blog. So you know how they hook up an i.v. and give you fluid while in labor? I think I had about 3 bags of fluid, and I would estimate that 2 of them settled right in my face. The chins in my pictures are ridiculous! I mean, I know I was 9 months pregnant and swollen, but really, the pictures are so unflattering. And I am a little emotionally tender right now (thanks a bunch, hormones), so I’m not ready to put those on the blog quite yet. I do really like this one, though.
I know there will come a day when don’t care that I look like a beached whale in the pictures, but that day is not today
The other day, Camryn was taking a little nap (the girl naps all the time…I forgot how sleepy newborns are! She must sleep at least 20 hours a day. No complaining about that from me, that’s for sure!). Anyway, she was sleeping, and I noticed that Logan kept running in and out of my room (another thing about Cam-she can sleep through anything. Which is good since chaos is all around her all the time.) I went to investigate and found Logan “sharing” his toys and books with her. What a sweet big brother!
Logan specifically gave her Wonder Woman. He told me that was her favorite superhero. Our girl will know all about superheros with two obsessed big brothers.
Connor and Camryn. I got a bunch of sweet pictures of them together the other day. Watching Connor and Logan with Camryn makes me want 10 more kids. Okay, not really, but it is just so sweet!
I wish so much the focus was on their hands on this picture. Look at how Camryn is holding Connor’s thumb!
Yesterday, at 5 days old, Camryn went to her first movie. Such is the life of a third baby. We saw Space Chimps, and she did great. She slept in the front carrier the whole time.
Everyone happy (and silly) after the movie. (If you will, please notice my ankles. It’s so nice to see them again! There is an actual shape from my knee down instead of just on thick trunk.)
That’s about it for now. Everything is going really well so far. Of course, my mom is still here which makes a huge difference. My laundry is magically getting done, the dishwasher runs itself, and somehow the toys all get picked up and the kitchen stays clean. Not to mention the boys have a Wii partner, a lego builder, and a story reader at their service. My mom is amazing!

WOW…
you have a bowhead!
you look incredible!
your boys are excellent big bros!
you are already at the movies!
Hi Megan,
It’s Carrie’s Mom, Holly. I just read your blog. I’m at Camm & Jess’s taking care of the girls while they are at the hospital with little Stevens…not name yet??? He was born yesterday, July 18th.
I checked your website from Jess’s blog & just can’t believe how bee-u-ti-ful your little daughter is…I just had to write & tell you congratulations!!! Such joy that she is here, safe & sound, & your little family is all together!! Blessings to you all…–Holly
Keep the pictures coming. I love the one with Cam and all the toys in her bed. I am so proud of you for going to the movies!!! I think you are super mom already! You look great by the way!
I love the bow! I love that Logan was sharing his toys, that is too sweet! And the pic and her holding Connors thumb is priceless. Last but not least your legs look very sexy!
so sweet….You look amazing!!
WOW!! I just now caught up. I’ve been waiting and waiting for you to have that baby, and I hadn’t even thought to check your blog. Congratulations!!! I only wish I’d been there to come up to the hospital to meet that sweet girl in person. I’m thrilled to hear the boys are taking to her so well. The pics of C and Cam are adorable. I’ll be home tomorrow. I’m hoping to come by and see her this week. Or maybe you’d be up for a playdate at my house? You know, the kind of playdate where we sit around on the couch and gawk at the beautiful baby while the other children run wild upstairs.:) Can’t wait to see her…and hold her. Oh, and P.S. You will NEVER love those pics of yourself all swollen, no matter how many people tell you you’re beautiful (and you are). At least, I still don’t love the ones of me and Syd, and she’s 8!:)
You look GREAT!!! I love those pictures of the boys with her. That’s so sweet.
You look so great just a week after giving birth! Makes me sick! 🙂
Not sure what the other pics from the day of look like, but I love the one you posted! It is awesome.
I can’t wait to see Camryn as she gets older and starts to really favor one of you…half the pictures she looks just like Connor to me (which is you) and then other half she looks just like Logan (AKA mini-Derek). Either way, she’s beautiful! Congrats again!
Oh Megs! You look wondrful! NO MORE CANKLES!!!! Whohoooo….
love, love ,love the wonder woman shot (so cute!)
keep the photos coming…
