He's Here!

Well-things don't always turn out exactly how you plan them! Camden Douglass arrived 3 weeks early on January 20th, 2010 at 2:47 p.m.

The labor was actually pretty quick and definitely not as painful as I was anticipating (after the epidural)!

Needless to say, I left a lot of things undone with my students at school and am looking forward to seeing them soon. My maternity leave is almost up and although I hate to leave Camden, I'm excited for Kent to get to spend the quality time that I got with him.

I cannot wait for summer. I see many walks in our future- this cold weather has made it pretty difficult to get out and about with Camden!

Week 36

We just returned from the doctor. Everything is progressing as it should be. Doctor Martin says our boy now weighs about 5.5 lbs.

I will go back in 2 weeks and from there on out I will be seeing him weekly. The end is in sight!

Kent and I are very excited to see our boy. The holidays were a big reminder of how great family is and how wonderful next Christmas will be with a new addition to our family!

I am feeling uncomfortable and tired, but the excitement of knowing that his birth is just around the corner is giving me enough energy to get through it.

I'm hoping there are no snow days this week-I really want to spend this last month with my students working to get as much done as we can (there's a lot!).
