100 Days with Jordyn

My last blog entry was April 20th, 2010 (a mere 7 months ago) when I first introduced you to miss Jordyn via ultrasound. Today I celebrated the 100th day of my baby girls life. What joy she has brought to myself, Jeff, and Jacob !! Jacob was 4 1/2 when Jordyn was born and at an age and maturity level that helped him transition into big brother mode with ease. I could not have asked for a better son and baby girl and look forward to doing life with them. I thank God daily for the gifts of my two happy healthy children.

I am excited for these transition times as she learns to roll over, sit up, pull up, talk, and eventually walk. She will be growing by leaps and bounds in the upcoming months and I can't wait to watch her accomplish these milestones. Along with my excitement and anticipation comes feeling of sadness that my baby is growing up. Then I look at Jacob and he amazes me everyday with his humor, compassion, and intellect - and it makes me more excited to see her personality develop. She has been smiling for about 3 weeks now and there is nothing better for a mamma than seeing that sweet sweet face.

I can not say enough how much I love my husband and children - family is everything to me !!

Meet Jordyn

So the last time I posted was April of 2009 - I am NOT a good blogger !! So, here's the latest. On April 15th we received the news that baby Kamp 2010 will be a GIRL !! Wow, completely not what I was expecting. I thought for sure we'd have another boy and wouldn't need new clothes, room decor, or toys. Jeff was right all along, his gut feeling was that it would be a girl. My gut and I have argued (literally) since January so I wanted nothing to do with my gut feelings... ha ha. Jacob is THRILLED... from the beginning he has said he wanted a little sister. His family structuring philosophy comes from The Berenstein Bears... there's a mama, a papa, sister, and brother.... and that's the way it's supposed to be. While watching Jordyn on the ultrasound, we've determined she's going to be a soccer player... she likes to stretch and kick her legs. Thankfully, she's just about a pound and not big enough to feel those kicks yet !! The ultrasound looked good and from what they can tell she is developing normally and well on her way to joining our family in August.
