These are the first 2 pics sent to us from photographer Jill Laber. We accidentally met her at our Baptism prep class 4 days after Emily was born. She and Laurie were making small talk about their kids and it came up that she was a photographer and had always wanted to photograph a newborn, but never had the opportunity. She came over to our house when Emily was 10 days old and took tons of pictures. Emily is definitely a ham! She was awake the whole time and almost even seemed to pose for the camera! Can't believe our luck in finding such a nice person who seems to like taking pictures of Emily as much as Mommy and Daddy do! We'll definitely be calling her again! We'll post more of the pics when we get them.
3 weeks old!
We're skipping ahead a good bit here, obviously. These last 3 weeks have been wonderful. Difficult, but wonderful. We were lucky enough to have help from Grom and Poppa Larry the first 10 days. Couldn't have made it through some rough spots without them!
Emily is growing every day and becoming more of a character. She sleeps 2-4 hours a stretch at night and cries only when she's hungry or during a diaper change. We definitely got blessed with a good baby! She's already had her first bath, her first trip to church and multiple trips to Target! Mommy's got a new shopping buddy and Daddy has a buddy to help wind down from rough days at work. Most of you have seen her pics, but if you want to see more, email me or leave me a message and I'll send you the link.
Emily Paige LeJeune arrives 3 1/2 weeks early!!!
What happened??? That was the question everyone had! Emily Paige LeJeune arrived via c-section Monday, April 7, 2008 at 3:07 am, weighing 7 lbs. 0.7 ounces.
My water broke at 11:45pm Sunday night. Of course, I had not one thing packed for the hospital, so here we are, running around the house in a daze, I'm in tears, trying to pack for the hospital. Next time, I'll be prepared! Got to the hospital by 12:15 and got hooked up to the monitors.
A few minutes later, the nurse asked if I had "felt that."
"Felt what?"
"Your contractions."
"Oh. Um, no." I thought that was just a nervous stomach, but now that she pointed that piece of info out, NOW I can feel them, THANKS!
A little while later, the contractions were about 3-5 minutes apart, but still not too bad, but another curve ball was thrown when an ultrasound showed Emily was breech. So now prospected hours of labor had turned into about 15 minutes of preparation for a c-section. Oh. My. God. Thank goodness Derek had a brave face put on, because Laurie was a flippin' basket case! The section went off without a hitch (just took a while for the spinal to kick in) and Emily came out screaming and with a head full of hair!
All along, we believed Miss Emily was going to be a term baby. I never had one contraction, not one complication, not one issue this entire pregnancy. Everything was going according to plan. So, go figure, Baby Girl decided to come early! Grom and Poppa Larry and Granny and Poppa James were all on vacation, Laurie and Derek were ready to go back to work on Monday morning, pretty much no one knew she was coming until she was already here!
As my OB said just before they wheeled me into the OR: "This is a good preparation for parenthood. Nothing will ever go as planned again."
Ain't it the truth!

These are pics from the baby shower they threw for Derek and me at work back in March. One of our nurses, Mandi Zielinski (who graduated from Jennings High!) made the cake and arranged the whole thing. Amazing!!!

Less than a month to go!! YAY!!!!
Well, they say everything's bigger in Texas and now they can say the same about me and Emily! I am measuring 44 3/8 inches around. My feet and ankles feel like they measure about the same! We're getting into the fun part of pregnancy where everything's swelling, even with me propping my feet up. Oh well!
Doctor appointments are weekly now and nothing has changed. Blood pressure's fine, Baby Girl is fine, all is right with the world. No consistent contractions yet, and no dilation yet either. It looks like she still has a couple more weeks of baking to do. We don't know how big she is. All they will tell me is she is measuring "normal" for her age, whatever that means. I figure however big she is, she's going to make an appearance anyway, so let her have a little meat on her bones...she is a coonass afterall!
I do have to make a public apology to my mom. I played an awful April Fool's joke on her yesterday by calling her and telling her my water had broken. I was hoping she would recognize my sick sense of humor and know I was kidding, but she completely fell for it and was nearly peeling out in the driveway before I could tell her April Fool! SORRY, MOM!!!
We'll keep ya'll posted on any new developments in the coming days/weeks! Miss ya'll!

Hey Gang! Sorry it's been a couple weeks! We've been pretty busy at work and kinda forgot last week's pic and measurement.
34 weeks now and we are growing! Belly is measuring at 43 1/4 inches. I got a haircut last week, probably the last one for a while, so it got chopped! I'm still feeling good, but in the last week have become more and more tired and uncomfortable. Baby's feet are digging into my ribs, so I try and sit leaning back some so it's not too bad. My doctor says I'm rolling along on schedule, 6 weeks to go, but if I would happen to go into labor from here on out, they won't do anything to stop it, so the real waiting game begins!
I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep up at work. Some days are busier than others, so I try and sit down when I can. By the time I get home in the evening, I'm pretty worn out, but feel pretty good after a good night's sleep. Still working M-F, but I'll be going down to 4 or 3 days a week in the next week or so.
The gang at work threw me a surprise baby shower at work today. Cake, punch and more beautiful gifts! We are so blessed to work with such great people. I'll post those pics when I get them emailed to me.
Have a Happy Easter Everybody! (and Happy Birthday Daddy and Uncle Mike!)

Went to the dr. yesterday. Nearly 32 weeks and all's still going great, but a definite reality check: we asked what their policy is on inducing labor, and basically, they are up for induction anytime after 37 weeks. Not that I want to be induced (ask me again at 37 weeks!), but they will not let me go over 1 week past my due date of May 1. So statistically, we could be parents in as little as 5 weeks (April 9) or as many as 8 or 9 weeks (May 1-8). Ummmmm....pardon me, but holy crap.

31 Weeks
9 more weeks (more or less!) to go! No pics of the belly yet this week. We loaned our camera to Andy and Shannon for Shannon's 1st marathon last weekend. Congratulations, Shanny! Belly is measuring 42 1/4 inches this week. Still feeling good, still working M-F, but can definitely feel like I run out of steam by about 3:00 every afternoon. I usually go home, lie down for a little while, then I'm ok. Not too uncomfortable yet, so I'm enjoying feeling good while I can!

30 Weeks

I'm going to try and take weekly pics and measurements for the rest of the duration. If you don't like pasty white skin, turn away, turn away!!! Belly is measuring at 42 inches. Doctor's appointment today went very well, nothing new, everything's right on time. Definitely hit home when the Dr. mentioned that I will be considered "term" in 7 weeks! GULP!Haven't had a chance to download pics from this past weekend's shower at the LeJeune's, but it was wonderful and we got even more beautiful gifts!

Baby shower #1 down, 1 more to go! My friend Shannon and I made our way back home for a baby shower given by Grom (with Poppa's help around the house!). I can't tell you how much fun we had and what beautiful gifts we got. But what touched me the most was how many people attended. It really made me so happy to se so many faces I hadn't seen in months and even years!
I hope the pictures captured how happy I really was. I know they captured how much I've grown since Christmas, too! Emily seems to be getting bigger by the hour! Derek even made the comment that I looked more pregnant when I came back to TX from the shower! Funny, but I think he was right! Not uncomfortable yet, just moving a little slower. We've got 11 weeks (more or less!) to go, so we've got some time left. Now that we have some gifts, we've started getting the nursery ready. Furniture should arrive next week, so we know that will make it all much more real!

Mornin' all! Up again at 5am. Why? Not like I'm sleepy, the eyes just pop open sometime around 4:30 and I have no desire to go back to sleep. Could be worse, this could be happening at 2am. I know that will be happening in 3 months (or less), but I'll actually have a reason to be up that early!
For those of you who hadn't heard already, we have a name! Her name will be Emily Paige LeJeune. Derek came up with Emily, and it wasn't until after we picked it that we found out that Emily was PawPaw Lafont's mother's name, so she will have a connection to her great-great grandmother. Paige comes from our niece Mallory Paige Abshire, who is our little angel in heaven who sent us Emily in the first place! We love the name and hope you like it too.
Feeling good still. Low back pain virtually gone the last couple days. Went to PT yesterday for some final tweaks on my mid back and now I only have to see her again if I need it.
Nothing much else going on. Work is busy, but not unbearable, so I am getting some walking in every day there. No foot swelling, just some ankle puffiness, but I've always had a slight cankle thing going, so there's no surprises there. As far as how Emily is doing, she is doing great. Had a dr. appointment Tuesday and all is well. She's turned a couple times in the last few days, so now I'm getting a couple of belly shots from her feet. Most days she kicks straight down, making me think I'll see a tiny foot shooting out of my nethers! (nice image, I know) That's one aspect of pregnancy I know I'll miss. It's like she's letting me know, "Hey! Still in here! Whatcha doing?? "
Even though I know she's in there, and I am definitely getting rounder, the idea of her being here still hasn't hit me. Our first baby shower is this weekend at my mom's, maybe that'll help. But the fact that she could be here in less than 3 months (or really at any time now) is not something I can even fathom right now. I guess the more baby gear we get in the house will help it settle in. Thanks for all the checking up on us! Hope the next 12 weeks will go as smoothly as the last 28!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Ours was lots of fun, but much too short.
23 weeks and the baby bump is growing daily! I read somewhere that my waistline will grow about 1/2 inch every week to week and a half. Oh, boy. At this point, I can still see my toes, but just barely! I'm enjoying finally looking pregnant, and still feeling really good so far. The most entertaining part of being pregnant is the dreams I've been having. Everything from talking babies, to knock-down, drag out arguments, to crazy dreams about food. I need to start writing these things down!
Baby Girl is kicking away! She even got the hiccups during Christmas Mass. Derek finally felt her kick on New Year's Eve, "Hi, Daddy!"

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!
Okay! Now we can stop using "it!" We're having a girl!! First and foremost, the ultrasound today looked good...we have functoning kidneys, heart, and stomach. Brain looks good too. Those were the main things we wanted to see today, the rest was just a great bonus.
It was so wonderful to see all the detail...the spine, the chambers of the heart, the eyes, the nose, the fingers and toes. It really is a miracle. What really amazed us was how every little move I made or anytime I laughed, she moved too! The best part was when she waved "hi" to Mommy and Daddy!
She's defintely a coonass. She talks with her hands! They never stopped moving! She kicked her feet and scratched her nose, but there was one problem...she was being modest! Derek was very happy to see that. It took a few good pokes from the ultrasound tech to get her to open her little legs! Finally we got a look and the tech said that the 2 little lines were her little privates and there was nothing else to be found! So for the 7 of you who voted for a boy, you lose!!!
We are completely overjoyed with seeing the baby today, regardless of if it had been a him or her. It's a shame we can't have an ultrasound on every visit, because you could sit there all day and watch your little miracle moving and growing all the time. Thanks for all the phone calls and well wishes! Love you all!

Happy Holidays, Ya'll!
Here are some of the lastest pics taken in front of our tree. Mommy, Daddy and CC are feeling good, especially after getting a bad virus over Thanksgiving weekend. Trust me, nobody would've wanted to be around us!
I can definitely say I am in the "Honeymoon Phase" of pregnancy...I'm feeling good and looking good!
4 more days until we found out if CC is a boy or girl!!! Be sure and place your bets on the poll on the upper right-hand corner!
By the way, say a special prayer for my cousin's little girl Chloe that her MRI will be all clear! Thanks! Love ya'll!

Hey all!
Yes, I know it's been a while! This time of year can get pretty busy at work, so needless to say Derek and I have been running!
And our Little Turkey has been growing! I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow, already about 1/3 of the way through my 2nd trimester. It's funny, one minute I think this whole process is dragging on and on, but when you look at it that way, this baby will be here before you know it!
Big milestones since the last post: I am officially in maternity clothes! This past weekend, I finally gave up my pre-mommy jeans (I had no choice!) and wore a pair of maternity jeans my best friend Shannon loaned me. I now have 2 garbage bags full of clothes from her and Derek's sister Monica, so I think I'm set for a while. Thanks so much!

Our coworkers have all made the comments that I am showing now. There has been definite growth in the last 4 weeks and I am finally getting used to my little "pooch" there. No movement that I've noticed yet, but my doctor said that will probably come in the next 2 weeks or so. That should be interesting!
Still feeling good. Started with a little head cold in the last 2 days, but nothing major. Had my checkup yesterday and I'm still "easy" (as the doctors put it). Baby heart rate: 150 bpm...I guess CC is chillin' out this month. Heard it loud and clear though! Our next ultrasound is in 3 weeks, so start placing your bets on pink or blue. I just hope we get a clear picture on whatever it is!
We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We really wish we could be with all of you. This time of year really makes us wish the drive was shorter. At least we had a mini-Thanksgiving with Derek's family in Monroe this past weekend. Great to see the family and how much all the kids have grown. Can't wait until we can add our own little one to that bunch!
Derek will be working without a day off until Dec. 1, so say a prayer for his sanity! I'll be home Thursday, probably putting up Xmas decorations and cooking a turkey breast, so pray for the cook too! It's not Daddy's gumbo, Cheesy Corn, Missisippi Mud Pie or Grandma's rolls, but it'll do! We'll be home for Christmas, so we're counting down the days! Love you and miss you all!

Hi everybody! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Nothing much happening last week, so there was nothing to tell!
I went in for my every-4-week checkup last Wednesday. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! The nurse said it was 167 beats per minute, and before you all start placing your bets I've already looked it up and there is no proof that a girl's heart rate is usually higher than a boy's!!! My doctor says I am a "textbook" pregnancy. I am officially into my 2nd trimester, my blood pressure is perfect, my weight is good (only 4 pounds gained so far..I can't believe it!), and the baby sounds good too.
No new symptoms this week, oh well, if you don't count the new Baby Bump. Yes, it's there. I thought maybe it was all the Halloween candy I've been eating, but nope, it's definitely there! I'm lucky enough that I lost 15 pounds just before I got pregnant, so I still have some bigger clothes I can wear before I have to buy maternity ones. All the nurses at work are getting a kick out of my bump and teasing "Dr. Daddy" about me being pregnant (for those of you who didn't know, Derek and I work together at Presbyterian Hospital of Allen).
We also got some mail from my mom and dad (Grom and Poppa Larry) this week! Grom made these precious onesies for the baby...I guess Derek and I will have to keep doing triathlons or these won't make any sense! They say "Future Triathlete" "Go Daddy Go!" and "Mommy and Daddy go FAST FAST" And Grom already knows she'll have to keep making these in bigger sizes as the little one grows! We love them all! Thanks!
We love you and miss you all and thanks so much for all the prayers and well wishes! As soon as we know what's going on for the holidays, we'll let ya'll know!

Morning, all! Nothing much to tell this week yet. I made 11 weeks on Wednesday, so I am almost done with my first trimester already! I am feeling much less tired these last couple days. I guess I had no idea how tired I really was until I started feeling more energetic this last week. I started swimming again yesterday, which really made me feel good...maybe CC will be a triathlete like Mom and Dad!
Speaking of CC...no, we don't know why we picked Circus Clown for a name. It's not making fun of him/her, it's just a name Derek and I came up with and it stuck.
We'll keep you posted with any new changes! Love and miss you all!!!

This is our first post to keep all of you up on how we're doing! We figured this is the easiest way for all of you to see the (many) changes going on until the big day, May 1st, 2008!
Since this is the first post, we figured we'd might as well give you a "before" picture! This is us and our friend Shannon Watson at the Tri the Rock Sprint Triathlon on August 26, 2007. We had just finished swimming 300 yards, biking 14 miles, and running 3 miles. I had a great race, so go figure, that I found out we were expecting the very next day! Notice the flat stomach...that won't be there much longer!
