Simpson's Journey

Our first snow in our house! As of right now we have about 4 inches of it and it is still early. The forecasters are calling for a total of around 7 inches. I am so excited! As most of you know I really love the snow and anticipate this time of year! Living in Illinois for the past 3 and half years I have seen a lot more snow than I can remember seeing living in NC. Joe is so awesome, he went out to shovel our drive way and side walk. He also did a path for Flair off of our porch in the back because when Flair went out the snow was really close to his chest! Many thanks to my wonderful husband. Right now we have a nice fire going in the fire place and are getting ready to decorate our tree, which we bought on Friday. What a great way to spend a Sunday! A fire, some football, and hot chocolate! The 'snow season' is upon us in IL, Joe and I just hope that in January when it is time for Cameron to come that it won't be snowing so that we can make it ...

Some of the ladies I work with decided to throw me a baby shower. It was very nice of them and I got a lot of neat things. I especially loved all the clothes Cameron received! I got a couple of books to get my collection started and it was my classic pooh theme. It was so nice to have people I work with and are my friends do this for me!

Yesterday, I had my 30 week appointment and my last time doing a sonogram. So the next time we will see Cameron is when she is born! Everything looks good and healthy! Cameron weights 3lbs 5oz right now and the technician said that she will gain around 6 to 8 oz every week until she is born. Cameron could be around 8lbs when all is said and done! I am just glad that she is continuing to grow and become a healthy girl! All of my stats were fine and my stomach is measuring around 30 from bottom of uterus to the top. I don't go back until Dec 2nd and continuing every 2 weeks until I am 36 weeks and then after 36 weeks I go back weekly until she is born. Joe and I are very excited that Cameron is doing well and prays that she continues to grow and be healthy until her birth.

Thank you Kim Shoemaker for throwing Joe and I a wonderful baby shower! I am so glad that we were able to come down and show off my tummy and see friends and family! The food was great and the company was awesome! Joe and I had a wonderful time! We got a lot of great things and thanks to all who could come and thanks for the gifts! It was a great time with friends and family and we are so glad that we were able to 'catch up' with everyone! Thanks for a wonderful shower!

November is here and I just started my third trimester today!  I am 28 weeks pregnant! This has been an amazing journey so far and we can't wait to finish this part on becoming parents and start the new year with Cameron here to hold and love and actually being parents! This month is very busy. Starting tomorrow we have a 3 night birthing class that will last from 6pm to 9pm each class, we go to NC on Friday for our 1st baby shower, I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday of next week, I also have a couple of breastfeeding classes, a Mommy and Me class, oh and can't forget about Thanksgiving! Then it is December and Christmas is around the corner! I can't believe how fast this time will pass. I have enjoyed the little bit of Fall that we have had so far. I added the picture of this tree and I love the beautiful color the leaves have turned! It is amazing to me that God can put so much color in the leaves before they die! I like the fall weather here in IL, and can...
