: It's Kelly - Baby Campbell Arrival!!!
: k2campbell July 04, 2007, 01:24:10 PM
Hi all  :-*

We just got home from the hospital this evening with our handsome new son, Blake Alexander Campbell  :)

I was induced Saturday morning and after 16 hours of labor, the vaccuum, forcepts and an episiotomy - our lovely 8lb 12oz, 20.5 inch bundle of joy arrived at 9:56pm on Canada Day (July 1st)!!! Eric was an AWESOME coach, I couldn't have done it without him, gosh I just love him so much  :-*

The day after he was born Blake tested positive for jaundice, due to the slight bruising from his somewhat rough delivery. Thus the reason for our long hospital stay. He had to sleep in the tanning bed (lol) for a couple days to get rid of it ;) He is now happy and healthy and ready to take on the world! ;)

Thanks again for all of your wishes and support. We are so happy that our baby boy is healthy and happy!  ;D I will be online again once we get settled in!!! :-*

Kelly

Hi Kelly, I haven't been on BPO much lately but I've been watching to see if you posted.  I'm so happy for you, Eric and Kate, baby Blake is precious.  I love his pics and the one of his tiny foot is just adorable.  Our oldest 2 sons had jaundice also, but it quickly resolved.  I was told to nurse them frequently and that would also help the jaundice resolve.  I know that you are very busy and probably quite tired, so thanks so much for the beautiful photos.  Congratulation s again on your beautiful new baby boy!

Congratulation s Kelly and family!!! Blake is so cute and such a chunker!! Awww..he's gonna be a handful I can tell lol. I'm amazed at how well he fills out the newborn diapers, then you know he's big lol. I agree, his head doesn't look huge but you had a rough time! You poor thing! I'm famous for long labors too, so I feel your pain. I love all the pics! The bili light ones are great, I love the foot one, and the one his belly - froggy pic hehehe. Enjoy him and get some rest. Good job Mama!! ;D ;D

AAAwww baby Blake is just perfect! Congrats on the whole birthing, you did a great job, now you are part of the mama club... you'll look at everything with mama glasses from now on  ;) Enjoy these special times, everyone is so true when they say it goes by so quick, don't wish for him to pass a mile stone it'll happen soon enough. Rest while you can, to help with the jaundice feed often and sit by a window, doesn't have to be direct sunlight, when he is down for a quick nap put him by the window, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
