Our week in pictures..

Hope you enjoy the many pics of our girl! She is definitely my little sunshine! (Mo, we love being your Miss Sunshine 1 & 2)

Campbell loves her activity gym. We are on this thing multiple times a day!

Clean Baby :)

Had to add the silly crossed eyes..

Loved the drool!

This is her "cry" for her daddy. 

You can only imagine what it sounds like.

And it's ONLY for him! She has him wrapped

around her finger already...

Our little Red Raider! The cutest little fan you will ever see!

I love my hands!

Tummy Time!

She loves her daddy!

Sweet girl!

I've been trying to get her to wear her big bows, but she obviously doesn't like them!

And after trying for almost an hour to upload a video, it still wasn't ready. My patience is gone.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures just as much.

A First..

Today Campbell and I made our first real trip to the store...WalMart! I was nervous, but had quite a few things to get. Campbell was a trooper and slept through most of the shopping. I definitely got more stuff than I actually needed, but we are having company this weekend and didn't want to have to go back for any reason! Needless to say, by the time we got to the end and ready to check out, Campbell was not happy. I got all the looks and tried to calm her down. The only thing that did that was to swing her around in her car seat, and you know how heavy that is! I luckily got a nice lady to push my basket to the car so I could carry Campbell in her car seat. She even helped me unload my groceries. I'm proud of myself for getting it done, but I'm exhausted! Campbell and I are about to have a nap. I think we deserve it :)
I know it will hopefully get easier...the first time is always the hardest.

And just in case you didn't see our pics, here are a few of my favorites:

simple & sweet

...remembering what this day was like last year: losing a sweet baby, and so thankful for what this day is like this year: holding a sweet rainbow baby...the Lord redeems, is faithful, and provides for us...from a season of loss & sadness to a season of life & pure joy; oh how grateful i am...

It's been 7 weeks...

Can you believe it's been 7 weeks since I gave birth to this beautiful baby girl?

And here she is now...

Here's what we've come to know lately...She has the most incredible smile! We see it more and more each day! Campbell loves her bouncy seat, tummy time (for a little while), any ceiling fan, being outside, her baths now (yay), her mommy and daddy :), sleeping on her tummy (only for some naps), and being carried in my Sleepy Wrap. She is sleeping pretty good at night still. We only wake up once between 4:30 and 5:30am usually! She is a good sleeper! We are incredibly blessed by this precious girl! One of these days I will take a video and post it here. That was a suggestion from her Aunt Casey! 

On another note: I want to remember our sweet glory baby in heaven today. Tomorrow marks 1 year that we lost her*. (You all know that I only had girl names picked out and just have a feeling that it was a girl).  We have come such a long way in 1 year, but I will NOT forget her. Because without her, we would never have miss Campbell Grace now. And the experience of losing her, we wouldn't feel as deep a love as we do for Campbell now. She brought us joy and excitement! I will never forget the pain and sadness from losing her. I tear up just thinking about who she was, would have been, and IS now up in heaven in God's arms. I am absolutely thankful for the experience we had with her. She is now looking over us and her little sister. I am thankful for the peace that God gave to us after we lost her, and the comfort we found in His word and in the people he used in our lives. You were only with us for a short time sweet baby, but we love you the same and couldn't imagine our lives without knowing you. You made your mommy and daddy stronger and love each other so much more. And we want to THANK YOU for that! 

Here are a few words in your honor GLORY BABY MCFARLAND:

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted Matthew 5:4

Father's Day

Just wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the amazing men in my life! I have loved seeing Jacob become a daddy, my dad become a Grandpa, and my Poppy (granddad) become a Great-Poppy! Each of these men mean so much to me and now they will be a huge part of Campbell's life. We are extremely lucky girls! I also want to wish a Happy Father's Day to Ray (PaPa, Jacob's dad). We love each and every one of you so so so much. Here's a pic of my sweet girl and her special men!

Campbell's Photoshoot

Hi everyone. Just wanted to post a link to miss Campbell's photoshoot. We got some really cute shots. Susan, the photographer, said there were so many good shots, she will have to finish editing after they get back from vacation. These are the ones she did get finished. I think they turned out great. Hope you all enjoy too!

I will continue to say...wow, how time flies! My sweet baby girl is 6 weeks old today! She is continuing to bring us so much joy!
