Happy Thanksgiving!

Cameron's Thanksgiving Outfit (gift from Aunt Marguerite)

The boys!!

Handsome Cameron

We had our first Thanksgiving with our sweet son Cameron! We spent it with Jake's family and it was a great day. We had tons of delicious food and played games afterward. Cameron was the center of attention as usual. He loves being around people and was really sweet. He has been kind of fussy lately, so I was glad he was not crying the whole time. Stephanie came down from Idaho and is spending the week with us. It has been wonderful to have her here with us. Cameron loves when she holds him! It has been nice to have some time off and just relax. Jake and I are a little sleep deprived, so it has been nice to be able to sleep a little more in the mornings and not have to get up for school or work. I definately don't appreciate all that we have been blessed with as much as I should -- so it is a great time to remember all that we have to be thankful for.

THANKFUL FOR:

* healthy son Cameron * the gospel

* handsome husband Jake * good friends and family

* my job (which gives us free rent) * good health (not being pregnant :)

Cameron's Room

Here are some pictures of Cameron's room. It is basically done I just want to put up some pictures and a few more little things. It is sports themed!!!

Cameron Jacob Rust

These are pictures from the day before I went into labor!!

Our son Cameron Jacob Rust has finally been born!!! After about 12 hours of labor he was born on November 4th at 12:27pm. He was 20 1/2 inches long and weighed 8 lbs 2 ozs. After having kind of a rough pregnany, it is amazing to finally have him here with us. As soon as he was born I was so incredibly happy. I forgot almost instantly how painful it had been and also how sick I was. I can now enjoy food, kiss my husband, and all sorts of wonderful things.
Cameron is just the sweetest baby in the world. He sleeps so good and is feeding beautifully as well. I feel very blessed and spoiled. We are both just a little sleep deprived. The only thing that we had to get checked was his bilirubun count (for jaudice). It was a little high when we left the hospital but it was normal after he was checked two days later.
He has already grown and is now 22 inches. He was discharged from the hospital at 7 lbs 9 ozs and now is 7 lbs 13 ozs. He looks so long and skinny. He also got his circumcision and he didn't even cry. His pediatrician was very impressed. He is as healthy as can be and it is so fun to actually have him here with us. I can just look at him forever...I spend a lot of time doing that. I feel so blessed to have a healthy baby with no problems. It is an added bonus that he is also a very calm and sweet baby.
My mom is here to help for two weeks and she has been a life saver. She cooks our meals, cleans, does laundry, and helps with the night shifts...so basically she does it all. I will sure miss her when she is gone. Love ya mom!
