Week One Recap

Wow...Camden turned one week old yesterday! It seems like forever and just a moment all at the same time. I can't believe how many changes I can already see in him in just 7 days. He is already loosing his "newborn" look. I can't believe how much we already love him!!!

We are doing well and all working on figuring out life with a newborn. :) I feel so blessed to have such a hands on husband/dad that is willing to do whatever he can to make life easier on me and our sweet little boy. It will be really hard to have him go back to work next week, but has been such a blessing to have so much time together at home. I also have my mom coming in next week to help me out. Thank goodness for such great support!

We have kept busy with lots of firsts this week...first time home, first look at his room with him n there, first walk, first bath, first trip to the doctor, first trip to BRU, and the list goes on. Here are a few pictures showing the highlights from the week.

He's Here!!!

More info to come soon, but our precious son is here!

Camden Lloyd Schulte

Born April 21, 2010 at 12:20 PM

8 pounds 13 ounces, 21 inches long

Camden, mom, and dad are all doing well! Enjoy the pics of our sweet little guy.

What will he look like???

I think Toby and I have talked about this hundreds of time. The suspense of carrying a baby for 40 weeks and not knowing what his sweet face will look like. We thought it would be fun to look at newborn pictures of each of us to see what he could look like. To most people's surprise, I was born with super dark hair which was snow white by the time I was one! People are also surprised to know that Toby wasn't super small even though he was a twin. We aren't sure what his hair (if he has hair), his eyes, or other features will be, but we are pretty sure that he will be a BIG baby! The doctor has made this prediction and we have a strong family trend on both sides of bigger babies. We can't wait to see Camden!!!

Camden's Nursery Reveal!

We put the finishing touches on Camden's room this weekend with Toby hanging the adorable surfboard my friends had made above the crib! We are pleased with how everything turned out and can't wait to add our little boy to the room...he is the only thing missing now. :) Enjoy the pics of the room, the colors look a little off but you will get the idea.

Dallas Shower

Sorry for the absence in posting, I've been waiting to get some good pictures from a friend that do justice to how cute my last shower was! My Baylor girlfriends hosted an adorable beach/surfer shower the first weekend in March. The decor was unbelievably adorable, the food was wonderful, and we received so many generous gifts. It was so fun to get to see people from so many different areas of our lives come together to celebrate Camden's upcoming arrival! Enjoy the pics from the fun day and a HUGE thank you to Ashlee, Sarah, Lauren, Courtney, Meghan, and Kirsten for making the day so special. I love my girls!

Marshall Shower

This past weekend I went to Marshall to see my family and was honored with a wonderful shower. My sister and two of my mom's good friends hosted the event. It was a great time to see a lot of people I had not seen in a long time. The brunch food was yummy and the decor super cute! We really appreciate all of the great gifts Camden got. If you notice in several of the pictures my sweet niece, Mary Grace, likes to touch my belly a lot, especially during pictures. Mary Grace also liked to walk the gifts around to show the guests and was affectionately called "Vanna." She was quite the life of the party (or shower)!

Frankford Shower

This past week my awesome Frankford family (my school) threw a shower for us! The shower was also for two other first time parents that are expecting around the same time as us. We were so blessed by the generosity of the staff as they helped us prepare for Camden's arrival. Here are a few shots from the shower!
