WOW!!! What a year with the little guy! While I sit hear writing this post I remember so vividly coming home from my run and Jolie on the couch with contractions.  “Well guess this is one of those early contraction incidents I’ve heard about…” How naive of me.  I also learned a comment such as “WHOA!” from the on call Doctor, is really a sign things are not as they should be. I remember Jolie and I wondering if a baby could survive being delivered at 27 1/2 weeks. Ready or not, he was coming that evening at 12:36 AM. The little Cam-man decided it was time to start playing by his own rules.  The next 50 days Camden lived at Littleton Adventist Hospital.  I honestly cannot put into words what those nurses do there day in and day out.  The nurses were the absolute definition of going above and beyond in their jobs and truly care about the babies and families going through a scary and unique experience. They really made the hospital feel like a home for Camden, Jolie & I.

Since those 50 days in the NICU, our little C-Man has started on his life’s journey of being a boy.  He is quite the happy and healthy little boy. We could not ask for more.

He keeps our hands full, but we have the feeling this will be nothing compared to the days ahead. We look forward to every new day with him and are amazed at what he learns each day.

Since that late night last October, our little guy has played by his own agenda.  As a first time father, I couldn’t be prouder to have such a trait in our little guy! We can only hope he paves his own unique way through life.

Love,

Ryan, Jolie & Camden!

PS: We cannot express our love and thanks enough to our family and friends who were right there beside us physically and spiritually along the journey. Thank you!!!!
