Simpson's Journey

This was a rare occasion where Cameron's school had a function and so did Michael's preschool on the same night.  Cameron's school had a family game night and Michael's had a Daddy's Night.  So it worked where Mom and Cameron had a great time and so did Daddy and Michael!  

Love having girl time with my favorite blonde! We have such a great time together! Getting a Frosty and making bracelets is what happened on this one-on-one time.

Cameron's preschool puts on a fabulous Mother's Day program and all the little kids get to sing! Cameron's 5's class did 3 different songs with a mothers theme running through them, "This Little Light of Mine", "Baby Bumble Bee", and "Tiddlywink Dink-e-dink". After the songs were done there was a small reception of snacks and activities for us to do! I was super glad that Joe could take the morning and stay home with Michael so I could have this time with just Cameron!

I know I know, it has been a while since my last post but things seem to be hectic and honestly I just haven't made time for blogging. But here I am know posting about an event Cameron and I went to back at the beginning of November.  After this post, I will try to get the pictures off of my phone ( can't figure it out right now) and then I will have a couple more post before Christmas :) Cameron and I went and saw Sesame Street Live Elmo Makes Music, and it couldn't have been more fun for Cameron!  She absolutely loved it! Cameron and I before the show My excited little girl! So Bert and Ernie came out and introduced the letter and number for the evening, and then the other characters came out.  There was a lot of singing and dancing and Cameron participated as much as possible! They had an intermission and during that time we had our potty break and got a small Elmo doll that hasn't left her side much since. :) ...

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.

My 24 week appointment let us do another sonogram! It was awesome to see better pictures of Cameron this time around. And yes, she is a girl! Cameron weighs just over 1 lb and she is as strong as ever. Cameron's bones look good and healthy, we were able to see the brain, stomach and heart. The heart is beating around 146 beats per minute. Cameron is growing by leaps and bounds! It is truly amazing to see how much our little girl has grown since the last visit! My doctor says everything looks fine and my weight and blood pressure are good. Cameron was still a little shy when it came to really seeing her, as far as showing us that she is a girl but Joe said that it is good because she is learning to be modest!  I go back on Nov. 11th for my 28 week appointment, which I get to do the glucose test, then I start going every 2 weeks. On my 30 week appointment I will have another sonogram done and that will be my last unless complications arise. I am glad that we got ...

Joe felt Cameron kick this morning! It was only once and not very strong but he still felt it! We were in bed cuddling and I was on my right and his hand was on my belly. I don't normally feel Cameron too much on my right so I turned over to my left and placed his hand on my belly where I usually feel Cameron. And sure enough in about a couple of minutes Joe felt her! I can't wait until Joe can feel her more as she gets stronger with her kicks, jabs, pokes what have you.

Joe's mom knitted these for our new bundle of Joy! Yes they are different sizes so when Cameron grows out of the cream ones she can wear the green ones! Thanks so much Mom Simpson!! I love them!
