Prematurity Awareness Day


It's hard to believe that our beautiful, healthy girl started out at 2 lbs, 1 oz, and looked like this...

 
 
As I reflect upon this day, I keep thinking about this blog post:
 
We will never forget the impact that prematurity had on our lives.  As we prepare for this next baby, we hope and pray that we will not have to repeat our journey...

The details

Hey Folks,
I thought some of you might be interested in knowing more about Campbell's announcement.  Baby Compton is due June 1st.  The doctors are optimistic we'll make it to 34-37 weeks (mid-late April).  I'll be followed closely by my OB and a high risk doctor (MFM).  We'll keep you guys updated as we go along.  We appreciate your prayers for a long and healthy pregnancy!

Happy Halloween 2009

This year we decided to host a kid-friendly Halloween Party since Campbell is still a little too young to go trick-or-treating . . . enjoy!

I cannot even begin to explain this one . . .

Yes, our princess is a ladybug.

For those of you who are observant . . . yes, that's her Christmas tu-tu

Not only does Bryan Hayes take great pictures . . . he sure makes one heck of a caramel apple!

Thanks to Beth Covington for make the spider cookies for us!

Martha's Swamp Juice.

Yes, that's 14 kids (one not pictured)

One Motley Cru!

No, that's not Eleanor . . . that's Curious George!


Again, next year, I will forgo the Halloween decorations and only put out a water table.

Crystal cheering on a little pumpkin . . . (FYI - Crystal is our early interventionist . . . we love Crystal!)

Crystal's daughter Emily

Check out this witch . . . AKA Miss Emily!

Some witches use brooms . . . this one uses a cozy coupe.

Emily's dad . . . AKA Rob from the 90's serenading us. Most requested tune from the day . . . Wheels on the Bus.

Again . . . no comment . . .

Here is Tristan-Grace using her princess walker.

And the winner of pin-the-nose on the pumpkin is Teagan

Cheap labor . . . cut the grass equals candy.

today's winning party event . . . the Cozy Coupe

Boo!!!

Okay, the party suddenly took a turn for the better . . . bring on the rain!

We think this is Campbell's first time playing in the rain!
Miss Emily and Campbell playing in the water

Again, next year, a bucket of water and cozy coupe will be the only things we supply . . . they were the hit of the party.


To conclude . . . some of the kids took the "brains bowl" and poured them all over the host . . . how rude!

Thank you all so much for coming out . . . .we had a blast and hope you did too!

Cherry Place Farm

Last weekend started just like every other weekend . . . my 8 year old nephew came over to cut our grass . . .


you know some people pay extra for designs like this!

We also went to our annual trip down the street to Cherry Place Farms.


Off in the distance you can see Campbell making her way through the corn maze.




Here is Ethan and Campbell. Check out the one year comparison.

Is that a decoration, or is that Campbell?


Look at the big girl driving her tractor!

beep . . . beep . . . beep . . . backing up . . . beep . . . beep

I call this one!

No one is going to get this one from me!

If I sit on this one, no one will see it!

Dad . . . that's a sheep . . bahhhhh!

hmm . . . do I eat this corn or do I give it to that goat?

We're back and we have videos!

Peeps . . . I'm back!  I'm pretty sure that I broke mommy and daddy's computer so they had to wait for the UPS man to come bring us another one.  We now have another Dell . . . daddy keeps saying something like "HP is a four-letter word!"


Anyway, I have a lot to catch you up on . . . for starters, BFF Lulu and I went to the zoo last weekend.  Remember Lulu .. . she's the one who I went to the aquarium with this summer.  Well, check us out!



This time we are checking out the little monkeys.




Speaking of monkeys . . . look what we found!


If you look carefully, there is an ostrich in between us . . .


Just the right size for me!

 
I'll take it straight up . . . straight from the cow!



Think about it . . .think about it . . . I might just touch this big doggy.

Some other things that have gone on over this past week . . .  well, I can now blow a whistle.  My dad can play the cowbell . . . I can play the whistle!


I also have been walking around in my new fancy clothes . . . yes peeps you heard me right . . . WALKING AROUND!


I'm a trendy chic! (thank BFF Emily)


Farmer Campbell . . . (thanks Emily)


In my free time I can now walk myself over to the bookshelf and pick out a book to read.

I've also learned some new words . . .



The end of a wonderful day with my mommy and daddy . . .

I'm glad to be back!  Peeps, the princess is off to bed . . . leave me a comment . . . ta-ta for now!
