She's here! Meet Miss Callie Ross Campbell :)

Sleeping on her belly.

Debbie Hildebrandt is my old roommate who I lived with for not quite 2 years.  She's so beautiful, determined, has a huge heart, and has been a great friend to me over the last couple years.  We didn't expect everything to happen like it has but like one of Deb's friends said, "Those Hildebrandt's can't be patient...everything's gotta happen RIGHT NOW!!" 

Debbie gave birth to Callie Rose early Thursday morning and at just 25 weeks, she weighed 1lb 15oz and was 13.5 inches long.  She is the most adorable little girl who seems to be doing better and better as each day comes and goes.  The doctors told Rob and Deb that her vitals are all very strong and she seems to be handling everything very well for a meek but mighty babe.  Deb says she loves to sleep on her belly and her eyes have just opened so slightly. She is quite active and loves to stretch out in her little incubator.

I got to meet Callie on Tuesday and it's just amazing the things that doctors can do for these little premature babies.  She is a little miracle baby thus far, and because she has the Hildebrandt blood in her, she's destined to fight.  I'm so happy and excited for Rob and Deb to start this new chapter together creating their own little family and it's so exciting getting updates on the website they've created for little Callie. 

Congratulations and best wishes to Rob and Debbie, you two are, and will continue to be such wonderful parents and are so fortunate to have Callie in your lives :)

Just wee up against Papa Ken's hand.
