Day One in the HospitalLacee went into labour without even realising it at around 10am on Tuesday, September 24th, 2002.  After 16 hours of labour (4 hours hard labour) baby Landon Jayce Campbell finally came into the world!

 

Shawn broke the labour tension by drawing funny faces on latex surgical gloves and blowing them up. Mommy was less than amused, especially when Daddy started giggling during her contractions!

 

Grandma Sue and Shawn were only ones allowed in the labour room but as soon as the news leaked out many members of the family and all of Lacee and Shawn’s friends made it to the hospital.
