Camden is Home!

Monday morning when we showed up at the hospital to spend the day with Camden, the nurse watching over him asked us if we were ready to take him home. We were wondering what she was talking about because on Sunday they told us he would probably go home on Wednesday. The nurse said that Camden had been doing real well and that he was ready to go home, but they wanted to make sure we were emotionally ready for him to come home with us! We couldnt believe what we were hearing. Of course he had only been there since Wednesday, but to us it had seemed like weeks. Lindsey and I kept looking at each other with huge grins on our faces because we couldnt believe he was actually going to come home. They said he needed to have a few more tests done before he could leave, but that most likely in the evening he would go home.

So at 8pm on Monday April 27, Camden came home for the first time. It was such a great feeling just to take him outside, let alone into our house.

Here we are in the parking lot of our complex. Can you tell that we are first time parents? We took pictures of everything.
When we got home, Lindsey's mom had decorated our place with baby stuff. She has been staying with us for over a week now and has been so great and helping out in so many ways. Life has certainly been less stressful with her help.

My parents also came over, as did my brother and his wife. It was fun having family around Camden's first night home.

This is a picture of Camden fighting with Uncle Sean for the Neumann Cup trophy. The Neumann Cup is a family golf tournament, and apparently Camden is already staking his claim to it!
It's great having Camden home! We feel so blessed to be parents to one of Heavenly Father's children and we really appreciate everyone's support and prayers.

So when is Aunt Whit coming home?
Cute pictures, but I can't believe Sean is already fighting with a newborn. Hey, do I see a hint of red in Camden's hair??? He is so cute and Lindsey looks really good for just having a baby (new Mom model). I hope we get to see him soon, oh whoops, hope to see you all soon. Let us know when you are blessing him.
CONGRATS!
Great Aunt Connie

Linds,
I feel for you with the kidney stones, I had them twice during my pregnancy also, then again right after i delievered. I still think kidney stones are worse. As if pregnancy isn't bad enough. Sorry you had to go thru the pain of kidney stones. No fun...
