Cameron and the family 2 days old!
We have been so fortunate the whole pregnancy and we were also very lucky in getting a fast and easy birth as well as a calm, healthy, happy baby.
The last few days have been going really well. Cameron sleeps well and we are getting a lot of rest and not feeling too tired yet. I am actually really happy with our living arrangement as well- it was hard to know how things were going to be with 5 (...6 now) of us living here, but our roommates have been so supportive and helpful. Its amazing - the house is clean, there is always extra hands around if they are in need, meals get made for us when we are busy with Cam.... Thankfully, Cam is quiet easy going baby (hopefully he stays like this!) and so we are not causing any disturbances and the roommates seem to really enjoy having him around! I actually feel that this a great arrangement and that it would be much harder on our own. Would things be different with a fussier baby - probably, but its hard to tell how people would react to that! All in all, we are very lucky.

Yesterday Cam started to get a bit of a yellow tone in his skin from a bit a Jaundice. It doesn't seem worst today, but its something we will have to keep an eye on! Hopefully rain clears out soon and we can sun him a bit.
Nursing is going really well so far, Cameron is a great nursling! My nipples are a bit tender from the learning process; When he would fall asleep he would let go a bit, then try to suckle again but not have enough nipple in his mouth, but now that I have figure that out I am trying different things to keep in on well! My milk came in around 24 hours after he was born and I now have MASSIVE, hot, hard breasts... I am going to have to start putting frozen cabbage leaves on them like the midwives suggested. Hopefully they calm down soon, but Cam nurses like crazy so I have a feeling that my production will be high for a while.
Great photos and glad to hear you have chosen a name for the babe:) Also glad to hear your milk has come in and the nursing is going well. Do you have lanolin? that really helps too! I'm so happy that your roommates are supportive - if you need anything at all - just let me know!
