Back to the hospital

OK...

Where to begin.

About a week after we got baby Peyton home Mommy started to notice a few things that seemed a little off. He had been sleeping LONG periods of time between feedings, spitting up across the room, and finally a high fever.
We decided to take him in to see his pediatrician and they told us it was probably just a cold and they would take some blood and urine to make sure that was it.
By the time we got the urine sample it was clear (or not so clear)that he had gotten a bladder infection. :( POOR BOY!
You would think no problem, right?
WRONG!
They told us that we needed to drive straight to the hospital and admit him for IV-antibiotics. It was so sad to know that he would have to go through all this when he was SOO little! We could hardly watch anything they did.
A few days into our stay the doctors at the hospital came in with some even worse news. Unfortunately the bacteria had entered into his bloodstream which can ultimately lead to kidney failure or other more harmful blood diseases.
We didn't quite know what to think. It was so difficult to see little Peyton suffer so much when he had only lived a few days.. so hard to justify why it would be happening to him.

A hospital visit that was supposed to be a couple days soon turned into five, then a week, ten days..
They did end up letting us go home on day eight, but Peyton had an IV stuck in his head and we had to keep a hat on it. The nurse had told us that we had to finish a ten day IV-antibiotic just to make sure it was really kicked in the bum.
We were so happy when it was all over. The only doctor visits since then have been planned check-ups, shots, etc.

I know its been a while since we've updated.. so here's a little bit of a catch-up.

Ryan and I went to the coast a couple weeks back. One last trip for mommy and daddy before our lives are changed forever!!

Were due on the 25th of this month and I'm growing more and more impatient everyday. I think I have done about everything considered "safe" to naturally induce labor and let me tell you, nothing works. I suppose that our little Peyton will come when he feels ready... but he is SOO grounded for that one! :D

I suppose i can make it 10 more days. Hope he comes sooner though!

Ever changing mommy...

Now... lets all try and ignore the lack of makeup this morning and concentrate on the background in this picture. The new mommy here is driving herself bonkers with this whole "nesting" thing. I mean a little bit of cleaning and organization is OK, but when we find her trying to re-organize grandma Hurst's cup shelves when no one else is home...... we have meltdown. :D

Were trying to get as ready for little Button to come as we can. Never having done this before it takes lots of patience and asking LOTS of questions. Thank heavens for our recent nephews. Sisters and grandmas are the best source of help so far. Its hard not to call every ten minutes as it is, CANT WAIT TILL HES HERE! *ring-ring-ring!!!*

UPDATE!

2008-12-20T16:39:00.000-08:00

29 weeks and I now weigh about 140lbs.... eeeeek! ha ha. I liked this picture because it was a bit abstract, and the belly is the main focus.

We are looking for an apartment to start our little family in, and with this economy its hit or miss. But we are just trying to keep faith that the right one will come along soon enough.

Ryan is scheduled for placement testing to start school. (At least ONE of us... right!?) I'm very proud of him. :D

IT SNOWED!
We loved it. I couldn't really go out much, big ol' belly and all but it was fun any-how.
Last but not least........

5 DAYS 'TILL CHRISTMAS!

Yep, our first one. I'm making us some new stockings tonight. Hope they turn out OK! We'll let you know....

Until next time,

The Campbells

We're Newbies

So i thought i would give this a shot! It cant be much more difficult than myspace, right??

Well, hello to all of our family that recently has been bugging us to make this blog. The most recent news in our lives.. OUR BABY BOY!!!!! We havn't quite picked a name out for him, but we call him Button for now. There are just about 3 more short months (full of hollidays) left before he can grace us with his beautifull face... along with those GREAT dirty diapers, long nights, and changing schedules.
