Our Little Birdie!!

I am ssooooooo hungry Mom!!

Playing the piano with Daddy!

I love when my Daddy plays the piano...I can't wait until i am big and I can start playing too!

Happy Birthday!!

Today I am ONE week old...and so far, I just love it!! Every day is so much fun! Don't worry, my Mom didn't let me actually eat my cupcake, she says that I have to wait until I turn one YEAR old. Darn.

Bathtime!!

I love my bathtime...I still have to have a sponge bath until my umbilical cord falls off, but my Mommy and Daddy are really good at it and they make sure to go really fast so I don't get too cold! Oooo, I always smell so clean! My favorite part is when they wash my hair.

My first night in my new house!!

Shhhhh, don't tell!! I was supposed to be sleeping in my new bed but I ended up getting to cuddle in bed with my Daddy! Apparently we like to sleep the exact same way! I want to be just like my Daddy...especially when I grow up.

My my first play date!

This is my buddy Jacob. He came out to see me today with his Mom and Grandma. We had soooo much fun and I can't wait to have lots more play dates with him. (I think that he might have gotten a little jealous when his Grandma was holding me instead of him...but no worries, he still wants to come and play with me lots and lots.)

Bedtime Prayers...

Dear God,

Thank you for my Mom and Dad, and thank you for bringing my safely into the world. Please take care of my family and please help me grow up to be big and strong. Thank you for ALL the blessings that you have given my new family. I love you.

Love,
Grady

Meet Baby Grady!!

Hi friends and family!! It has been an eventful few days for the Campbell family...to say the least! On Tuesday, Melissa went into the hospital for a non stress test (Baby Campbell was due on Friday, March 13th). After the baby failed his test, the doc decided that it was time to start the labor process. At first, it looked as though things were going to go quite nicely. After about 12 hours of labor, Melissa opted for an epidural (which she would describe as the most heavenly relief ever!!). After laboring through the night, baby decided that it just wasn't going anywhere. So, at about 11:30am, after a visit from the OB surgeon, a C-section was decided upon. Apparently this baby was not going to come out on it's own. Grady Donald Del Campbell was born at 12:07pm on Wednesday, March 18th. He weighed 9 lbs, 1 oz, and was 20 1/4 inches long. He was way too big for Melissa to deliver on her own, so we are so happy that the decision for a C-section had been made when it was. What a relief to FINALLY meet this sweet little boy!!

Grady has been such an amazing boy...he hardly ever cries and is just an absolute delight. He just coos and grunts, and is such a little lover. He is eating like a champion (go figure at 9 lbs) and totally takes after his Dad! We love him so so soooooo much!!

We are hoping to spring out of the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Melissa and Grady both need to get the ok's from their docs, but all is looking well at this point! We had better get our rest tonight...the adventure is about to begin!
