Cameron arrives...




After many months of anticipation and excitement Cameron Mitchell Dees made his appearance on April 22, 2008. He weighed 8 pounds and 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. We had a long and scary labor and Cameron was finally born with the help of a c-section. I began developing signs of preeclampsia so we went to the hospital early (about 1 am) Sunday morning, April 20th. My labor was induced Monday morning and after waiting and waiting, we had no progress. Cameron's heartrate began to drop and on Tuesday afternoon we decided it was time to get him out. This was complicated even more by my high blood pressure and my low platelet count, but we did it anyway. We both came out healthy and safe. We know this is due to many prayers. It was an amazing time for all of us. We stayed in the hospital a few more days and then came home and began our wonderful life with a baby!
