Latest update

I had another doctor's appointment today and my blood pressure was still a little high. The nurse took it twice before I saw my doctor and then once more before I left. The third time, was the best it was 122/76 which was much better than the second one at 133/88 and I don't know the first. Saw my doctor and she still wants me to rest as much as possible, but I can do small chores around the house. I can put a load of laundry in and then rest in between the loads that kind of thing. Which I am glad that I am not restricted to bed rest because the house needs to be cleaned. So I figure I would do a little at a time and rest/ put my feet up in between things. My doctor also did an exam and said that I was 1 cm dilated. So the process has started:)

On another note, we received our stroller system today! Thanks Mom and Dad Simpson!:) So the only thing left to receive is our glider rocker which, according to the tracking system, is in IL but not at our home yet.

So sorry for the bed rest...I imagine it isn't fun. But, at least you will go into motherhood being rested! I did WW about 6 years ago and did really well, then had babies and all that stuff. This is the last time I will go back...I plan on being there forever! By the way, January 19th (my mom's bday), and my word verification is colic! How funny!

Ok nan...colic...NOT funny:)! Let's hope that is not in Eve's future!! Eve..that's awesome that you've started dilating..i never did until the day I had her:). I've had friends that have been three cm dilated early and been weeks late though (just so you have warning in case it does take a while:). I can't wait to see all the great pics of the new stuff you got! Love you

Yay! I didn't dilate until it was time to go, but when I got to the hospital I was at 7 so it was quick. Good luck!

The Nursery

Well we have finished painting and putting up our Classic Winnie - the -Pooh border up in our soon to be nursery! Joe and I had a fun time doing this project together! We enjoy spending time together as it is and being able to do the nursery together just made having little Cameron that much more special! We had always liked the idea of having a yellow room with a Pooh border but decided to go a different way. Once we found the border we liked the best, Classic Pooh, we decided to go with a green. Keeping it neutral so that if and when we have another baby we won't have to redo the nursery. It was fun picking out the shade of green that we liked best with the border, and once we did and painted we were very pleased with the outcome. And now with the border finally up we think that our nursery looks good!

Our First Baby!

Hello to all! This is my very first blog and I am excited to keep family and friends in the loop about what is happening in our lives! As most of you know we are 13 weeks pregnant! Joe and I went to the doctors last Wednesday for our 12 week check up. It was so exciting to see the baby named Camical for now.! We were able to see the baby move, well jerk, open and close their mouth and move their arms! We spent great quality time with the baby to get certain measurements. We have 4 other pictures but this was the best one where you can really see Camical!
