Sad and Happy Times

Hey y'all. Sorry it has been so long since our last update. We've been on an emotional roller coaster for about 3 weeks now. Andrew's Grandma passed away on Monday of this week. She had gone in 2 Sundays ago to the hospital for lung problems. It appeared that she was getting better on the following Tuesday, however, on Wednesday the doctor called Andrew's mom, saying that she wouldn't make it through the night. So, we decided that we would go up that night. It was really nice because she not only lived through the night, but was coherent the next day and we were able to talk with her a little. However, she seemed to get worse as time went on. We ended leaving on that Saturday with a sense that we would probably get a call at any time with the news that she had passed. That phone call came on Monday night. The funeral is scheduled for Tuesday, July 1st and we are going to head up there this weekend to be with Andrew's family.

In other news, Cameron is doing fine and the baby is doing just fine as well. We had an appointment, which seems like a month ago, but was only about a week or so ago. We heard the heartbeat again and the midwife said "You're pregnancy is going perfectly!" That was nice to hear!

We also set the big appointment for our Ultrasound to check the baby's organs, bones....gender, etc. The appointment is set for July 15th. Exciting times! We are going to find out the gender. We figure, why not? I mean it won't be a surprise when the baby is born, but we figure having a living creature coming into the world will be a surprise enough at the time of birth. Plus, it will help us plan a little for it's arrival.

Okay, so the news y'all been waiting for....dum, dum, dum, how much weight we've lost/gained.


Cameron: 4 lbs gained




Andrew: 8 lbs. lost
Plus, Andrew maybe lost a couple pounds with his smashing new haircut.
