This has to be our most exciting Thanksgiving to date. We welcomed Jay Andrew Campbell to the family on Thanksgiving Day. We went to the hospital around midnight on Wednesday and Jay arrived about 11 hours later at 11:11 am on Thanksgiving Day. He was almost 1 week early and weighed 8 lb 12oz and was 21 inches long. We were so happy to finally meet him and see that he was a healthy baby boy. We have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.
Grandma was able to be here when Jay arrived. She was a huge help to us and stayed at home with Ian while we were at the hospital. Nana was also able to come up for a visit. I know both grandmothers were excited to meet their new grandson and to spend some time with Ian as well. Ian had a great time playing with Grandma and Nana and both spoiled him rotten while they were here.
Ian had a bit of a hard time adjusted to being a big brother at first but is doing much better now. It did not help that he had a stomach virus when Jay came home from the hospital. He followed that up with croup and then a cold. Poor guy had a lot going on at once. He is doing much better with Jay these days. He will say "that's okay baby Jay" when Jay cries. He also will take Jay a blankie or pacifier. We still have to keep a close eye on him because he still sneaks in the occasional kick to the swing or push/slap at Jay, but overall he doing much better. He is on his way to being a great big brother. I look forward to seeing these two boys grow up together. I can only imagine the trouble they will get into!
