Sorry for the delay of information!
Cam's ultrasound shows a normal spine, so our concern with the dimple is "did we get all of the crap out of it?" I will post some more pics soon.

Whew...

Cam was going nuts feeding and screaming for about 4 days. He's finally calmed down a bit, now. I guess that was the feeding frenzy that goes with the growth spurt we heard about. A young mom who is a cashier at our local Tom Thumb told said, "When your kid is going through one of his/her frustrating "phases" and you think you've reached your wit's end and you're going to freak out and scream, they stop. Then about a week later a new frustration phase comes to test your patience." So far she's right on the money.

WC is going to have an ultrasound today to determine the depth of a dimple he's got on his backside. It's called a sacral dimple and worst case is spinal issues, best case is no issues. We feel like he's pretty strong down there and everything seems to be working normally, so we are confident he will be OK.

Three weeks old

Cam's starting to clutch and grab at things he sees and is a heck of a screamer.

A couple of milestones have happened. He finally passed his hearing test after about 5 attempts. It seems that the folks at Cooks couldn't get their equipment to function properly and couldn't get a proper reading. All of these appointments are a major pain and seem like a waste of time, but I guess you gotta be sure. Also his umbilical cord fell off yesterday. So creepy.

Andrea's beloved cat Macavity has suffered a set back this week, too. He's an old dude and now has high blood pressure, so I've been on cat duty as of late. Med's twice a day, eyedrops 3 times a day and helping him around the house as the high bp make him dizzy and wabbly.

Generally, we are doing well and are looking forward to more visiting outside of the house. Cam had a good visit with the Reid Grandfolks last weekend. His first visit outside of the house that didn't involve a Dr.

No one sleeps.

Week of April 7th...

Well, Cameron's looking good and seems to be feeling good, too. Andrea and I just about have him sleeping at night and alert during the day, so sleeping is getting easier for us.

Andrea strained her neck feeding and staring at him! She really hurt for a couple of days there, but a neck brace and some moist heat seems to speed the recovery.

Grandma Susan stayed with us for a few days last week while I returned to work. What a blessing it was to have her around.

Here are some pics from the last week, Cam is growing fast and looks more mature to me every day!

One week old...

Well, Cam's one week old now and is so much smarter and wiser.

Yeah right.

Eat, sleep, poop, pee, play. That's our schedule and it's on his terms. Something we are still adjusting to.

His check up went well and Mom goes in today for staple removal. She's doing good, too.

Here are some pics...

Induction Ceremony

After yesterday's Dr. visit, Andy's doing good in the fluid department and the induction is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 5:30am.

Erin and Marcos Andujar have induction scheduled for Sunday, so it's looking like a pretty baby boy intensive week ahead.

Coming sooner...

than the due date. Andrea's last Dr. visit revealed low levels of amniotic fluid again, so William Cameron Reid will be making his debut about 2 weeks earlier than the due date. Andy has another appointment this Friday and if the fluid levels are low, she will likely be induced. If the levels are higher, then the Dr. wants her to wait until April 1st (just a few more days, really). So either way it looks like WC will be around very soon!

We got everything prepared just in time and tonight I will be cleaning our house under the watchful eye of Andy. She's a pro, so I've got to step up my game. I've got to figure out how to watch the Mavs, Stars and clean, too.
