2 weeks old!

Camryn is 2 weeks old today and had her second pediatrician appointment. She now weighs 7lbs. 13oz. She is still 21in. long. She is in the 75th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. Dr. L said she is doing great and is just perfect, but we already knew that! :) She is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time and is definitely recognizing her mommy, daddy and brother Beans! She is also sleeping a lot better at night and is only getting up once or twice. We seriously could not ask for a better baby! Camryn has her E.N.T. appointment next Wednesday morning, so please pray that everything looks good with the hearing in her right ear. For those of you who don't know, Camryn failed her first hearing screening at the hospital and then passed on the left ear at 24 hours of age, but not on the right. We were referred to a specialist for further testing, but they said this is pretty common in newborns and she may have had fluid left in her ears.
Here are so pictures of Camryn from this week! Enjoy :)


We hope everyone has a great week and weekend! We have our photo viewing session tonight for Camryn's newborn pictures! I cannot wait! They looked amazing when the photographer was doing them! Thanks for reading! :)

Love,
Mark, Missy & Camryn

One week

Yesterday Camryn celebrated her one week birthday!!! I cannot believe she has already been with us for a week. She is such a good baby and on a pretty straight 3 hour schedule of eating and sleeping!Camryn had her first pediatrician visit on Monday and she is doing great. She is back up to her birth weight and they said we are doing everything right! Yesterday she had her newborn photo session and let me just say...I don't know how I will ever choose the pictures! We have a photo viewing appointment set for next week. I have also noticed that Camryn is really starting to recognize Mark and I....and even Beans for that matter! It is so cute and we both love it!!! :) As for me...I am feeling G-R-E-A-T!!! I am losing lots of weight and have my ankles back...who could ask for more!? :) Here are some pictures of Camryn from last night!!! Enjoy :)



We hope that everyone has great end to the week and a fantastic weekend! We have nothing else on the schedule for this week so that is NICE! :)

Love,
Mark, Missy & Camryn

2 years....

2 years ago today I married my best friend! I couldn't have asked for a better husband and now father to my baby girl! Thanks for being you, Mark! You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

In love....

We couldn't be more in love with Camryn. She is such an amazing baby! She is such a good sleeper and we honestly could not have asked for a better baby. She seems to be very content at home with us. Right now she is pretty much just eating and sleeping all day. Her most awake time seems to be in the middle of the night, but we don't mind that! :) We are just enjoying every second and taking in everything she does in! She goes to the pediatrician tomorrow for her first appointment! I can't wait to see how much she has grown. When we were discharged from the hospital she was weighing in at 6lbs 11oz. Here are some new pictures! Enjoy :)

Love,
Mark, Missy & Camryn

No more pictures please, aunt emily :)

Camryn Elisabeth Lowry is here!!!

Camryn Elisabeth was born at 6:42pm, March 15, 2011. She weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 21inches long. She is just perfect! We are so in love!!! :)

38 weeks

I will start by saying this week has been interesting...
I went to the doctor on Tuesday and my blood pressure was up, so Monday ended up being my last day of work. He wants me to stay at home and rest until she arrives. My official last day was planned for Friday, so it wasn't too far off. I will be 38 weeks tomorrow and we are just kind of playing the blood pressure situation by ear for now. I am planning on calling Dr. C back in the morning and seeing if they want me to come in for another check like he had mentioned Tuesday. Right now it seems to be fluctuating a bit, so we will see what tomorrow brings.

On a brighter note, her room is finished! Pictures are below:


Only 2 weeks or less....what is Camryn up to???
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

I will let you know if anything exciting happens tomorrow. As for now, I am back to the couch for more rest time! Hope everyone has a great end to the week!

Love,
Mark & Missy

Full Term

Well today Camryn is officially FULL TERM! I have talked to Camryn and told her she is more than welcome to come any day now. I am getting A LOT more uncomfortable and work has been getting harder every day! My official last day is supposed to be a week from tomorrow, but we will see....she may be here before then!

I went to the doctor yesterday and his estimate on her size was 6 1/2 lbs right now. He said if I go to my due date she will be a mid to high 8 pounder. We shall see...we shall see! I made Mark go out and walk last night and have started bouncing on an exercise ball! We are ready to meet her....we will just have to wait and see when she decides she wants to meet us! :) I don't have any pictures to post this week! I apologize! Her quilt clips came in the mail today and her letters have been shipped so as soon as I get those up I will do another post of her FINISHED room!

Checking in on Camryn this week:

Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, her lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

I hope everyone is having a good week! Enjoy your weekend! I know tomorrow is a total TGIF for me!

Love,
Mark & Missy
