Baby Camryn Jean Robinson

Craig and I had to be at the hospital by 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 13 to check in for our scheduled c-section.  Our sweet Camryn Jean was born at 7:44 a.m, and I immediately noticed her head full of dark hair, how teeny she was, and that she looked just like Charley when she was born.  She weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces and was 17.5 inches long.  As disappointed as we were at the thought of not getting to introduce her to her big sisters until we got home, it was surprisingly nice being in the hospital without visitors.  For two days, we stayed in our little room and got to love on our precious baby.  Craig was a total rockstar dad, and he took care of every single need that Baby Cam had, besides feeding her, while I recovered from surgery.  A downfall of the pandemic meant no nursery, so she stayed in the room with us the whole time.  We had two delicious meals from Maggiano's and J. Alexanders, watched a few episodes of Longmire on Netflix and FaceTimed with our family and the big girls.  

Last Night as a Family of Four

Being pregnant in 2020 was definitely weird at times, but nothing could take away the joy of how much my little family loved my growing belly.  May I never forget how special it was to watch Craig and the girls talking to Baby Camryn, how sweet it was for Carter to kiss and pat my belly every time she saw me, and how precious those movements felt inside my tummy. 

This was our last night as a family of four, and we were all so ready for our final addition to make her debut into this world.

Momma/Daughter Days

One of the last things we planned before the baby's arrival was to have a full day of Momma/Daughter one on one time.  Both girls were SO excited about their special day with me, and we made sure to do everything on their lists.  

True to her personality, Carter's day ended up being a few hours...which was more than enough time to please her.  We had lunch at Gondola (because she wanted to go to the spaghetti place, but ordered pizza), grabbed unicorn birthday supplies at Party City, shopped for tennis shoes and new panties at Opry Mills, got candy and a milk shake, and finished our fun day with a new Barbie at Target.  Carter is the most content child, and she is always so easy to please.  I loved every minute of our time together!

My more high maintenance child had a FULL day planned for us, and we couldn't have had a better time together...despite our slightly rocky start over what she was to wear for the day.  We started the morning at Pancake Pantry, she worked on her Sound of Music script while I had my last OB appt, we shopped at Green Hills and Cool Springs, enjoyed pretzel bites and ice cream, and we finished our day at Nordstrom Rack and TJMaxx.  She got a few new outfits and the most adorable pair of tennis shoes and took lots of pictures for her Christmas wishlist.  I hate how fast she is growing up, and I absolutely loved our one on one time together!  

Gentry Farms and Painting Pumpkins

We spent one of our last weekends as a family of four doing some of our favorite fall activities.  We had a delicious lunch at Sopapilla's, spent a full afternoon at Gentry Farms, ate ice cream for dinner, cruised home with the top off the jeep and painted pumpkins.
