He's almost here...

False alarm number one...

So Wednesday night Amy comes home from work and says..."I think I am in labor." Small cramps had started earlier in the day and continued through the night. I was sure what to think but at the way she was cleaning the house I figured something was up. The small cramps continued through the day on Thursday and we headed the hospital Thursday night for our breastfeeding class. The cramps continued to get worse during class so we started timing them...they were about 7 mins apart. Amy says "I am in labor!" So we leave the hospital and breastfeeding class to head home so she can shower and eat before calling the doctor. After her shower she says..."the cramps are gone." Just like that...they were gone. So we went bed. Got up Friday morning and still nothing. We had a doctor's apt. on Friday afternoon and he said we are getting close... could be any day now! In the meantime, we got this little ultrasound climps of what our little boy looks like. Guess this will have to keep our curiosity happy for a few more days until we can see him in person.

Welcome to our blog...

As we are fast approaching Camden's arrival, we wanted to set up this site to share our experiences with those whom we love and love us in return.

Jeremy and I cannot wait for our baby boy to be born and we can't believe that we are less than four weeks from his due date.

We have been very busy getting ready to meet the new addition to our family...from endless trips to Baby's R Us and Target, to washing tiny clothing, to putting together strollers, carseats, and swings- Camden has already become the focus of our world!

We have been taking several classes geared toward first time parents...we had our all day Lamaze course this past Sunday and really learned a lot about what to expect during labor and delivery. Although we both know it is truly impossible to predict how our experience of bringing Cam into the world will be, we at least feel a bit more prepared for the "good, the bad, and the ugly" of childbirth.

Even though the anticipation of labor is weighing heavy on my mind, I've heard many mothers say that once they hold their new baby in their arms, all of the pain and discomfort of the actual labor/delivery vanish from their minds. I am comforted by that notion.

So here's our first blog entry...and so many more to come.
We hope you will enjoy taking a peek at our lives as new parents and most importantly, the growth and development story of our soon to be baby boy!
