Simpson's Journey

Our crib for Cameron! It didn't take too terribly long to put together and we are excited about the finished product! We just can't believe that she will be with us in about a month! The only big thing left to get for our nursery is the glider rocker with ottoman and Joe is in the works of taking care of that. We are getting excited and nervous about Cameron coming! I am starting to get a little nervous about the whole labor and delivery part, I just keep telling myself that God is in control over everything and that includes the labor and delivery! I have my next doctor's appointment on Tuesday and then I go once a week until she is here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope that everyone is enjoying or enjoyed their Christmas this year! Joe and I have spent a quiet day at home just the two of us. We got up, opened our gifts, had pancakes for breakfast, and are now just hanging out. This is our last Christmas without child, so it is a little special but we can't wait until next year when Cameron is here, she'll be almost a year old, and enjoying Christmas morning at our home with her! I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and enjoying your time with family and friends! Love to All, Eve, Joe, Flair and soon to grace our presence Cameron!

We had our final baby shower, in Lindenhurst, which was thrown by our sister Christy! Christy did a fabulous job with the food and decorating. Also, thanks goes to Becky and Mom for helping out! We had a wonderful time and received a lot of great baby gear!

Joe and I have a tradition to get our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. With us actually having a house and a place to put the tree we were able to get a tree this year! We are excited about our tree and love the way the pine smell fills the downstairs. I have done some other small decorating around the house too. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

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.
