Trying to Take a Good Picture

He's HERE!!!

Brecken Zachary Camp

f

Brecken Zachary Camp was born by scheduled c-section (although I went into labor the night before. They slowed contractions enough to wait until our scheduled c-section time). He arrived at 10:20 AM, Nov. 3, 2010. He weighed 7 lbs 13.8 oz and was 19 inches long. Mommy and baby are doing great. Everything has gone so smoothly from the c-section to recovery and nursing. Taeya appears to love her baby brother and keeps asking if we can bring him home.


We think that Brecken and Taeya look SO much alike as newborns except that Brecken has a head-full of his daddy's dark hair. He looks a lot like his daddy did as a newborn.

Here are two pictures of Phillip as a newborn. What do you think? Does Brecken look a lot like his daddy?

Maternity Pictures

I was very blessed today to have a friend take some maternity pictures for me. I've been pretty lax about recording this pregnancy with pictures this time around. When I was pregnant with Taeya, I took pictures of myself on a regular basis but never had a fun maternity photo shoot and I really wanted to make sure I documented this pregnancy before baby boy comes. We had fun taking pictures in my little town. We went across the river for a few pictures and then to a local rail-road car that sits in town. Beth did a great job and best of all, was free!! I'm going to take some family pictures for her this weekend (as long as this baby doesn't decide to come early!). Here are a few of my favorites. I think I actually have 50 favorites from today! I uploaded all of my favorites to Facebook so you can view more there if you're friends with me on Facebook .

Pumpkin Patch 2010

On October 10, we decided to head to the local pumpkin patch as a family and let Taeya pick out a pumpkin. We usually go with a group of friends when we do our Annual Harvest Party. This would have been our 3^rd year but unfortunately, we’re not throwing a Harvest Party seeing as I’m 8 ½ months pregnant. This was the first year we went where it wasn’t really cold yet and we had a fun time walking around the patch looking for the perfect pumpkin and taking pictures. You can see our family photo from last year in the blog header. What a fun outing it is to go to the pumpkin patch. Although the pumpkins cost a little more than the grocery store pumpkins, it’s a great way to support local farmers and it sure is more fun than picking out a pumpkin at the store. This is a tradition I hope we will continue to do for many more years to come.

More Estes Park Pictures

I got some of the pictures Aunt Kay took in Estes Park. She has a great camera that takes lovely pictures. Enjoy! I love the last one of Taeya.
