Camden has arrived and is 3 weeks old today!

I was naive to think that I could prep for all things post baby ahead of time. Some things you just have to learn as you go! And that's just what we have been doing! Thus his arrival post coming on his 3 wk bday! 

With that being said please help us welcome the most perfect baby - Camden David Johnson!

He was born 8-5-2014 weighing 8lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches long. He has tons of dark hair and piercing blue eyes!

Daddy is holding strong that he will be a green eyed boy like him, but we shall see. 

When he was first born he was a little swollen and puffy (as was mama!) and everyone told us he looked just like his mama.  Not sure if I should be flattered or offended. Now that we have him home and have stared at him for hours and hours he really does look a lot like Jake too! Especially his profile. He is the best combo of his parents!

He is amazing! I was told that I would be obsessed and in love like I never imagined and boy was everyone right!!

First night at home!

When we first got him home he was in the infant sleep phase (amazing looking back now). Slept well, ate well, burped well and snuggled the best! Then about to the third week; he woke up! Now I have read this can be crazy but he really just eats more, is alert more and fusses for food quicker. We are so lucky to have such a good baby! He smiles in his sleep!

We are so so so blessed to have Camden come into our lives at the perfect time! We are so in love, so happy and so tired ; )

Nursery Tour!

Want to tour the Nursery we put together for our baby boy?

Here we go!

First we should probably review everyone's role in this room:

Lead Designer: Morgan (My sister)

Assistant Designer: Me :)

Supportive Husband/Color decider: Jake

Lead Paint Director: BooPa (My Dad)

Supportive Grandma: Nanni (My Mom)

I can't thank them all enough for all thier patience and help!

Morgan and I reveiwed many, many room designs, themes and colors and finally settled on Grey/White/Navy with a slight Nautical theme and tons of Monkeys!

I have always loved Monkeys and hesitated a bit when they became trendy but ultimately decided that I had to have them for my lil man :)

Here was our final inspiration pic that we worked off of...





And here is the almost final nursery :)

Moving around the room here is the relaxation corner.

One of my Favorite Parts! The amazing swivel/rocker/glider. They grey isn't photographing well but it was the first item we bought to build the room design around.

Amazing Lighting from Sister/Aunt Morgan - Lighting Consultant/Designer by Day! She even added a dimmer :)



Crib with Camois Light Grey Sheet and Navy/White Rail Guard.



Closet View

Clothes for the lil Man - Newborn to 3 months, and Diaper/Wipe Storage!



Closet Storage. The books are now on the amazing DIY Nautical shelves. Also we may add baskets in the future.

And here is our Diaper Bag! After about 5 options, I settled on this Beauty!!!

 
We have a few more things that haven't come in yet that we will add:
1. Baby Quilt - which will really complete the look since its Natical, Navy, Grey, White and has a little teal. It will mostly reside on the back of the chair, but I still can't wait for it to get here!

2. Toy basket - which is the same Navy woven material as the book basket under the side table but just a little bigger. It will reside on the right of the dresser/changing table and the diaper genie.

3. And Finally!!! Baby Boy Johnson - who is hopefully coming home to his new room very soon!
