There’s so much to recap in the story of Cameron’s journey, but we felt it might just be simpler to share a simple video for those of you that weren’t able to be with us. The short story goes something like this. We had our 40 week appointment on Wednesday, February 19th with our doctor…

As it turns out, someone will have a surprise bit of “paternity” leave. Right before Christmas we received an interesting bit of news from Leslie’s HR department as she was having her final observations for obtaining tenure in her school district. After receiving glowing reviews in her observations, her principal recommended her to be brought…

It was a work of art, then I was told I needed to paint it. We went to Lowe’s. I milled around browsing, hoping that guy that re-vamps backyards would be in that day and I could some how get myself a deck and an outdoor fireplace. No luck. So I was left with one…

This week’s post is named after a Jones favorite, Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On a Prayer”. Andrew loves singing this song when playing Rock Band with friends. I recall a few nights when we still lived in separate states that he would call and sing this song to me. (He’s quite the singer!) Ok, back to…

Andrew and I got to experience the joy and excitement of seeing our little peanut for the first time. Of course, I shed some happy tears during the event. We were both thrilled to see the little one. Officially, I was nine weeks and one day on the morning of the appointment. The baby was measuring at 2.7 cm which is around 9 weeks and 3 days. Everything looked great for me and the baby including the heartbeat of 160 bpm.

Friday, July 12th was a day of firsts. It started off with our first prenatal visit. We know several people who have recently had babies and have all had glowing recommendations for the OB/GYN office that we chose. The office is connected to the hospital where we plan to deliver as well. Our first visit was with a certified nurse midwife. She was wonderful. We spent almost an hour with her asking questions and learning more about what to expect. The best part of the visit was the midwife reassuring me that other prenatal vitamins and a not so great diet are ok and won’t be harmful to the baby during the tricky first trimester. I try hard to eat healthy, but a lot of things are not so appealing right now. Hopefully the morning (afternoon/evening/night-time) sickness will get better within the next month.
