Camren's 1st Phone Call

Mother's day, Uncle Jason called from the mission field.  Camren got to hear his Uncle Jason's voice for the 1st time, and Uncle Jason enjoyed hearing his nephew squeal!  Jason is a very proud uncle and cannot wait to meet his new nephew.  Only 3 1/2 more months! 

Following his mommies footsteps

At 5 weeks old, Camren had his first emergency room visit. He fell out of his car seat. and fell about 2 feet onto the kitchen floor. He got a bump on his head, but after a quick trip to the E.R. and a follow up with his pediatrician Tuesday, he is completely fine. The bump on his head went away within a couple of hours. He's a tough guy and gave us all a scare, but all is well.

Lance Camren ARRIVES

Well, he just wanted to take his time. But a week overdue, the doctor schedule Kellie to be induced. So on April 12, 2010 at 7:30 am, Kellie and Alex were at the hospital waiting for this little guy to come. After 13 hours, Kellie was only dialated to a 4! At 9:00 pm the doctor was called and told there was no progress being made. The doctor came down and it was decided that this baby was not going to come on his own, so a c-section was scheduled immediately.
At 10:00 pm, Kellie was taken into surgery with Alex by her side. Soon after Kellie heard the doctor order for more pain meds to be given. Kellie didn't understand why, until she all of a sudden felt major tugging. The poor little guy was stuck. But Dr. Klein got him out safely and then alot of shocked comments of "where did he come from?" were made. To Kellie and Alex's surprise, our little thin Kellie gave birth to a 10 pound 1.6 oz baby boy. 21 inches long. Born at 10:26 pm

We are happy to report that mom, dad and Lance Camren Barnard are all doing great and mom is recovering from surgery very well. Camren is a very healthy and happy baby! We are greatful to have him in our lives!!!

Time for a Baby update

Wow, this has been quite a week.
Kellie is starting to have some pretty strong contractions. And she is still 7 weeks away from delivery due date. She went to the hospital on Thursday, February 11th, and they tried to tell her it was just Braxton Hicks contractions. However after hooking her up to the monitors found that she really IS having contractions. We are praying she holds on for at least 3 more weeks. The baby is at least 5 lbs at this point, so size wise, we are not worried. However, let's not chance anything....
The doctor is now having her go to the hospital every Wednesday to be monitored and then she goes directly to the Doctor's office for his decision on what to do. This doctor is great and has kept a very close eye on her throughout her entire pregnancy. We are so grateful that she is here in Houston and not Rexburg, Idaho as we have much better and specialized doctors out here.

We get a good laugh watching her "WOBBLE" around. And if she never felt pregnant before, she sure does now!

On Saturday, some friends and her sisters are throwing a baby shower for her. She is really looking forward to this.

Enjoy the picture. This is her end of the night look....


PS, don't tell her I posted this! LOL
