Cameron's First Photo Shoot



We have a friend who is a talented photographer that asked to take Cameron's pictures when he was born, so we went to her studio last week and had a few shots taken. I don't have the official CD yet to post all the pictures here, but check out a few of the shots at her website (http://www.cannonshotsphotography.blogspot.com/). She was certainly patient as Cameron didn't want to sleep and would not sit still, but she still managed to grab a few super cute ones. Thanks, Maretta!

Cameron Andrew Ellsworth

After a 5am call from the hospital on January 12th, Kevin and I headed downtown to the hospital for the scheduled induction. At 6:30am they had me all hooked up to the pitocin and at 6:50 the doctor came in a broke my water then left us to get things started. He came back within about two hours later and I had progressed from a 2 to a 9, so he said give me about 15 minutes and then we would start pushing. After a LONG hour and the help of a vacuum, Cameron's head was finally turned and he arrived at 9:52am weighing 8 lbs 7 oz and measuring 20.5 inches. He is cute as can be, bald like his brothers were, and such a good baby (so far anyway)!
Thanks for all of your prayers, thoughts and well-wishes, we were certainly blessed with a little miracle!

Updates

Okay all of you blogger geniuses, how do you add a video to the blog? Our video camera has been busted for so long that the settings have changed and I no longer know how to upload one here. Any great ideas?

Unfortunately I was so excited about our new video camera that I forgot to take any stills of the action Christmas morning! Here are a few pictures after the presents:

I have no pictures to post of me (you can thank me later) during these last few days of pregnancy, but I wanted to give you all an update that my doctor scheduled me to be induced next Tuesday morning (sometime between 3-7am), so keep checking back to see pictures of the new little one!
