2 week appointment

Cambria had her two week appointment today. She now weighs 7 lbs. 14 oz.! I couldn't believe it when we put her on the scale. Since her last appointment 10 days ago she gained almost two pounds. But she still doesn't fit in many of her clothes. She now is 20.5 inches long. The doctor was able to answer some concerns I had and he said that she is perfect. But her dad and I already knew that.

So hungry!


When she gets really hungry she will suck on anything.

On The Changing Table


Cambria has a hard time fitting into a whole lot of clothes because she is so small, but this is a really cute outfit on her.

New Bouncy Chair



Here is Cambria in her new bouncy chair given to her by her aunt Kerilee and Uncle Judd.




She really likes just sitting in the chair and relaxing in it. Thanks so much Kerilee for the wonderful gift!

Daddy's little girl

This is one of my favorite pictures.  When Skyler gets home from work it's great because he always wants to hold her and we just hang out.  It's a nice break for me too when he comes home so I can have a little help.  Cambria really loves lying like this and she always looks so peaceful.

Baby Shower

A surprise baby shower was scheduled for Saturday the 9th but it didn't really work out as planned because Cambria was born early!  But we still wanted to have it because we thought it would be more fun for all our friends and family to see her and not just me.  She was the hit of the party and it was a lot of fun.  We got her all dressed up in her party dress that her aunt Chelsea gave her.  I want to thank everyone who helped planned it because I was against having a baby shower but it was a lot of fun.  We had great food and were able to spend time with many friends and family.

Bath Time

Here is our little girl just relaxing in her robe after her first bath. The bath itself was anything but relaxing as she does not enjoy being naked.


This picture was taken on Skyler's phone and we wanted to put it on here because we got a better angle of her cute face, and she was looking straight at the camera!

Cambria is Born!!

After a long day of being in pain, we went to the hospital around 8:30pm. We were there for an hour and a half and the nurse told us that the doctor was going to have us just go home with a percocet and told us to get some rest.

After being unsuccessful in getting rest, and with the pain getting more and more unbearable as the night went on; we called the nurse who was tending to us earlier and asked what we should do (as the contractions went from every 7-10 mins to every 4-5 mins). 

When the nurses' suggestions did not help the situation we decided to make a trip back to the hospital (now 3:30 am).  We arrived and the nurse checked her to see how far dilated she was.  She had dilated another half of a centimeter since the night before.  The nurse called the doctor and came back in an hour to check her progress (that was a very rough hour, as they were not able to give Jessica anything for the pain).  After that hour we were very pleased to find out that she had progressed far enough to have the doctor keep us at the hospital. 

They moved us into the labor and delivery room and gave Jessica the epidural (which was a BIG relief for her). After that they checked her and she was at a 4 1/2. They let us rest for about an hour and came back in and checked her and much to their surprise (and ours) she had progressed to over a 9.

Family members quickly made their way to the hospital. It was a short hour or so later that Cambria Josephine Tolman was born at 10:18am.  She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches tall.

She was the most beautiful sight to both mother and father and was wide eyed as she got her first look around.

Mother and daughter both were doing very well and the doctor told us we could go home only a day later. 

It has now been three days since the birth of our little angel and we are all doing very well. Skyler is really enjoying being a father and is wrapped around Cambria's finger. Jessica is doing very well with being a mother and loves to just hold her little girl.  Cambria is very easy to care for, and anytime she is fussy Jessica holds her close to her chest and almost instantly Cambria feels relaxed and calms down.

This will be the first of many posts all about Cambria.  We hope that you all enjoy the pictures of her, and of our happy little family.

A huge thanks to everyone who called, emailed, prayed for, and helped us during this miraculous time.
