The Two Week Mark

I can't believe our little Cambria is already 2 weeks old. How does the time go by that fast? That also means the summer is going to start coming to a close soon but I am looking forward to the fall and holiday season (not to mention cooler temperatures). I took baby girl to the doctor on Monday and he said she's looking good. He thinks they may have measured her incorrectly at the hospital or she really did grow a lot because she had gone from 19 inches to 20 and 3/4 inches already. When we left the hospital her weight had dropped to 7 lbs 1 oz but she is eating well and weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz at her appointment. She is just so pretty and other than the fact that she thinks she needs to be snuggled at night (something she is starting to get over) she really has been a good baby. She has difficulty burping and we sometimes have to spend a while trying to help her get them out. I told Jesse it's just because she is already a little lady.

Atreyu has been doing so well. He gets a little upset sometimes and just wants to be snuggled but that's completely understandable and I like to get some snuggle time in with him anyway. He loves to give Cambria kisses and likes to lay down beside her on the bed. He really hasn't shown any jealousy and is just as funny as ever. He has been a good big brother so far and I am so happy that he loves her like he does.

Cambria Jospehine Kunz

On Friday August 3, 2012 we welcomed our sweet little Cambria to the world. The hospital called me the night before and said the c-section was scheduled for 6:00 AM so we would need to be there at about 4:30. Grandma and Grandpa Kunz came down right before we left so that Atreyu could wake up in his own house. We got to the hospital and they got me all prepped. I was nervous and excited all at once.

They gave me a spinal and I got all numbed up and then they began the surgery. I felt a little bit of pressure but, thank goodness, no pain. They pulled her out at 6:24 and she cried right away. What a wonderful sound!! I am so grateful everything went well with her. She weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz and she measured 19 inches long. I kept telling Jesse throughout the pregnancy that she had better have hair because of all the heartburn and sure enough, she came out with a full head of beautiful, dark hair.






I was able to start nursing her in recovery and she latched on right away and has been doing awesome with it ever since. The day after I had Atreyu I was able to take only Ibuprofen and I was just fine so I tried it with Cambria as well but I was in so much pain. I decided to take the narcotics and I felt so much better. Without them, I was thinking that I might not ever want to have another baby again but I am already over those thoughts.


Grandma and Grandpa brought Atreyu in and the very first thing he said when he saw her was "little one". It was so cute! I thought he would've said baby or something to that effect but this was even cuter. He gave her a few kisses and held her for a bit but other than that, he didn't pay her much attention. She gave him a gift of Matchbox cars so he spent most of the time playing with them. He did really well staying with Grandma and Grandpa but he was glad when we came home.


I was really nervous how Atreyu would be with Cambria around but he has been so good. He likes to kiss her and hold her occasionally. We told him that mommy has a big owie on her tummy and he has been really good to be soft with me and understand that I can't pick him up. He is just so smart! I want to get a picture of the two of them together but Atreyu keeps moving before I get a chance so I'll keep working on that. I love seeing Jesse with our new babies. I'm always so excited before they even get here and I like to ask Jesse if he's excited and he says yes but I guess men just don't get excited the same way since they aren't the ones carrying the baby. Once baby gets here, however, he loves to hold them and love on them. I just love our sweet babies and I am so thankful for the opportunity to be their mother.
