Today, this post is all about my one and only son, Rusty. Being pregnant with Rusty wasn't easy. I knew he was going to be bigger than Aimlsee but I expected him to be much bigger than he was. I carried him low and was constanty getting yelled at by my doctor to drink more water. First thing you should know about me, I don't drink water very well in the winter. It's already cold and drinking something cold just makes me shiver thinking about it! Drinking warm water on the other hand makes me sick!!! I hate warm water!!!! So as you can imagine, being pregnant with Rusty in the winter time, I never drank enough water. I started having early contractions with him because I was dehydrated, go fig! I knew I would be having a c-section with him because in Northern Arizona they don't do natural births after a c-section. I could have opted for having him in the Valley but then insurance wouldn't pay for it. Besides, with a c-section I was able to know exactly how many more days until he was born! Darwin was helping with basketball so he was never home. I actually threatened him that he couldn't go to practice if he didn't take his phone with him! I didn't want to not be able to get a hold of him if something happened! His sweet mom came to stay with us for a week to take care of Aimslee for me. I went to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. on December 15, 2008. The nurses were so sweet! The best part of going in the morning, I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR A BED!!! They got

me in the surgery room right at 8 and he was born around 8:36. Russell Own Campbel

l came out screaming ready to fight! After all was done, my doctor told me that my last doctor did a terrible job stitching me up! Luck for me, he was also a plastic surgeon so he was able to make me look as good as new. The nurses fell in love with Rusty and insisted he wear a little Santa hat. SAd thing was, his head was too fat! Rusty was such a sweet baby, he LOVED his sleep!!! He also LOVED to eat! That was awesome for me because I still had Aimslee at home who still demanded my attention! He has always loved playing with his big sister even when he


was little and just watched her play.
He may be a little trickster now but I still love him just as much!!!! (Even when you and your sister pour lotion all over your heads 5 minutes before we are supposed to go to church!)
