Hudson James Rence Campbell






8 days ago, on August 8, 2009 Hudson James Rence Campbell made his appearance at 1:42 a.m. He was 21 inches long, and weighed 8 lbs even! It was a long day of labor, but we have a happy, healthy, and super beautiful little Boy!

I promise to write more when we get a chance!

Update...



So there you have it - - the only preggo picture most likely that will make an appearance on this blog. Hope you are happy! This was taken at 3M's corporate retreat center and I was 31 weeks pregnant. I believe I was sitting by the lake/golf driving range. 

In other news, it has been a while since I have posted - sorry about that! Things have been busy as we prepare for baby boy to arrive. The nursery is getting filled with stuff, the bedding should be here soon, and we have picked out artwork (see picture below - NOTE  - these are not his actual artwork, and no, his name will NOT be Lindsay!!!). We will order two of these, with his first name and middle name (or first and last name) on the print. As you can guess from the pictures, we are going with a little bit of an alphabet theme. Wall letters with his name, blocks, and cute alphabet prints galore!


Doctor's visits are more frequent now, and we are going every week. Now that it is less than a month from my due date, Chris is encouraging me to pack my bags - AHHHH! We also had a couple really nice showers. My friends Meeghan and Dawn threw a friend shower for me (see picture of the diaper cake Meeghan made below), and my friend Jen had a work shower with my old colleagues from CLA. My current work is having a lunch soon, and Chris' family is having a family shower in a few weeks as well. It is sooo nice of everyone!



Hmm, other things to tell you - - we bought our newborn cloth diapers (Kissaluv Size 0), and are ready to increase our cloth diaper stash soon! We also finished baby prep class, complete with a hospital tour and lessons on swaddling. Not much else to report on the baby front. Buttercup is doing well (of course). Here is a picture of her from the doggy park 4th of July weekend. She sends her love to all!

Buttercup welcomes you to the Nursery...

Happy Monday! Wanted to upload some pictures of the nursery in progress. It is starting to come together, but next will come art and curtains and shelves and all of that good stuff!

Buttercup welcomes you to Baby's room!
Her brown eyes look a little funny in the picture, sorry!
The rocking chair and dresser/changing table.
The crib with our new mobile. Buttercup is peeking out at the bottom -
she likes being in pictures as you can tell!
The new mobile (Tiny Love Symphony). It was on our registry, but we found it instead for $7 at a consignment sale - WAHOO!!!
One more of the crib. I promise it will have bedding and all of that good stuff soon!

Baby Boy Update!


Well, since my last post we have found out quite a bit! First, baby Campbell is definitely a boy!! We were so glad that we were able to find out, and that baby wasn't stubborn this time! All looked good at this ultrasound also, so this is good.

Lately we have been starting to prepare for baby. We registered at Target and Babies R Us, and just today we bought our bedding from this amazing store called Baby Grand in St. Paul (www.babyongrand.com)... it was so neat to put the bedding fabric together and they were super helpful. Chris also HAD to buy the coldplay lullaby cd, of course! Here are some updated pictures of the Nursery in progress, but to start, happy first birthday to Buttercup!!! Here are a couple pictures of her with her cake!


Buttercup enjoyed her ice cream and cake, as you can tell!

MMM, doggy cake, a new monkey toy, and a great spring collar!

NOW, onto the Nursery Pictures!!!!

Chris installed a closet system - - we may move around the shelves still but it is up! As you can see, Baby Boy (or Baby Bonko, as Dawn's son William calls him) is getting quite the wardrobe already!
Here is our rocking chair. On top of it is a stroller blanket in the pattern of the bedding we chose!

Here is a close up of the bedding pattern. It will take 4-6 weeks to arrive, so stay tuned...To the right of the bedding is the wall color.

Buttercup standing under the cradle. The cradle will be heading into our room soon to make room for the crib.

Nursery Update

Here is a nursery painting update! The color is asparagus by Behr. Depending on if we find out baby's gender (thinking good thoughts) we will accent with another color and the chair rail.
