Introducing Camille Joy Robertson

NOTE... I realize this post is very delayed, as you can imagine getting used to our new normal has taken some work for all of us!  

Camille Joy Robertson made her grand entrance in this world on November 17th at 8:02am.  She was born at Mercy Medical Center.  She weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 17 1/2 inches long.  She was perfect in every way.  It was a completely different birth experience for Nick and I than with the twins.  He was able to stay by my side the entire time and it was an amazing moment to hear her sweet cry after she was born.  Milly did find her way to the NICU the day after she was born for low blood sugar issues.  We were never dangerously low but she was still struggling to keep it where it needed to be.  While I was NOT pleased to be returning it ended up being a blessing in disquise.  We were able to see so many familiar faces and reconnect with people who were our family day after day when the twins were born.  It was a hard time for Birk and Addy who could not come into the NICU to visit their new sister.  They were beyond thrilled (as were Mom and Dad) when Milly was able to come home with us on the 20th.  It was so nice to be a family of 5 in our home that night!

Milly is a pretty darn good baby (she is breaking us in very nicely).  She loves her big brother and sister (and they love her too... A LOT).  We are all so in love with her and can't imagine our lives without her.  It's amazing how God knows exactly what you need... even when you don't know it yet.

Stay tuned for our stories as a Party of 5 now!
