It's a BOY! Welcome Camron!

Picture from today's visit. He gained 10grams and got some new threads! Nice beanie and doggie onesie!
Saturday's visit with Camron. Looks like someone got Channy's chin!

Holding Camron for the first time on Friday. That was one loooooong week...



Camron Alonzo Johnson was born on May 4, 2009 at 10:23pm via emergency C-Section at University of Colorado Hospital. My water broke at 1:30pm and although we did everything we could to delay his delivery, he came at 30 weeks.

His delivery went well and I was released from the hospital on Friday, May 8. Camron will be staying in the NICU for 4-8 weeks depending on how well things go with his health.

And I have to say thank you to Eric Reiwerts for showing up at the hospital within minutes to give me a blessing, Jon Kroff for driving to work that crazy Monday and making sure Evan got to the hospital (oh and picking up my kids and putting away my warm yogurt!), Travis Valentine who happened to show up with our pillows and Evan's Jazz shorts just in time to see our world fall apart (and staying until after midnight to make sure all was well) and my pal Sarah Valentine for dropping everything and coming to be with me during the scariest moments of my life. Plus, we have countless others bringing us dinner and signing up to take my drugged up self to the hospital to see Camron (since I can't drive for a while). I knew we had great friends, but I think we really felt it this last week. So many people with willing hearts...they are great examples to us. So, thank you!
