Well, after a loooong 3-week hiatus, we are back (a day early- I'm a bit impatient) to show you...
Baby Jennings!
debuting on April 19th!
We are ecstatic! I start my 13th week tomorrow!
So, we had our first sonogram on Thursday. I was so stinking nervous. But she squirted my stomach with some gooey stuff and pushed the wand down and BAM! There was the baby. Incredible.
At first, the baby was sleeping like in the two pictures above. The sonogram tech. had me try and cough to wake the baby up. Instead, the baby just slid around. Which made me laugh. And cry. THEN the baby woke up.
So cool! The baby started jumping around. Literally, the baby looked like he/she was jumping up and down and throwing his/her hands around. It was amazing. (See the umbilical chord?)
I kept laughing uncontrollably and so we couldn't get a clear picture. So then, I tried some deep breaths and the laughter got under control. Adam & I were amazed. 
Baby's got a pretty roomy pad right now. Lots of space to jump around. 
So, PRAISE GOD! We are in awe and have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and support of our families, friends, and community. Now that the cat's out of the bag, this pregnancy seems more REAL. Not just mind-numbing fatigue and constant nausea. (Which I did pray for, so I will not complain. At first, I had no symptoms and I was scared that the baby wasn't okay and so I prayed...God, I need some symptoms. I'm worried. And, I tell ya what- the Good Lord answered my prayers. Ha Ha.)
So, now you're mostly caught up. I will continue the debriefing session over the next few days. If you are so inclined, please remember us in prayer. We want to prepare well and sow in prayer over this child's life. If you want to come over and jump and down and squeal with us, come on! We love doing that.
I will praise the name of God... and will magnify Him with thanksgiving!
-Psalm 69:30

Congratulations! Children are a blessing.
So happy for you both! I bet your mom is thrilled. I was really suprised. The two of you will make wonderful parents. Try and rest as much as possible and drink LOTS of water! (there's my two cents...haha)
I AM SO PUMPED FOR YOU GUYS! Welcome to a world of never-ending stress, worry, concern, and overwhelming love and joy you never thought you could have! You guys will be wonderful parents. And I will be praying for you and your new journey! Love you!
Congratulations Camille and Adam - I am so happy for you both (and your families)
Hey Camille,
I saw your blog on facebook (as well as the pic you put up on facebook). Congratulations! You will make an awesome mom! I've enjoyed reading back on your blog and it looks like y'all are enjoying life up north. Congrats again.

I laughed and cried while reading - love you friend. And I am praying for you and the babe.
I am watching Gilmore Girls season 7 this morning while I clean - wish you could come over for decaf coffee!
i want to come over and squeal and jump up and down!! miss you, little mommy!
First I must say.....so glad you are back - I missed you! As you already know, we are FIRED UP at the Seney house! Of course, we will pray continuously for you, Adam and Baby (Powers,too, he may have a hard time!). Yes, children can be a challenge, but they are ALWAYS a blessing!
Talk about coming back with a bang! CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOUUUU!!!!!!! I will gladly come over and jump around in joy!!!!!
Wait youre prego?! WHAT? AHH. Just Kidding. SOO glad the news is now being shared around the world! And Im glad you decided to come back a day early! We cant wait to be parents so that we can be aunt B & Unlce Free Free!!!
Awesome!!! Congratulations.
Welcome to the thundering horde. I had a sneaking suspicion this might be part of the reason for your recent break. May your pregnancy be a time of happy hormones, and not too much acne!
congratulations! those 3d ultrasounds are really amazing. Wish you all the best.
Spring chicken! BACAW!!!
You made me shed a tear......HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!
How exciting!!!! I thought we had this talk already where babies came from???? Apparently you didn't listen, eh???
Congratulations.......enjoy every moment because it is gone before you know it.
Congrats indeed! What a blessing and absolute miracle babies are. Life will never ever be the same but in a great way! Enjoy your pregnancy and the joys that come with it...a bundle of joy.
Congratulations! That is such exciting news.
And I notice from your sonogram that you go to the same doctors with whom I had both my sons. You will love them. They are all so great and very helpful when you have questions or problems. Best of luck!
PS - I was trying to say I cant wait for YOU to be parents so that WE can be aunt B & uncle Free. BUTTTT I guess I was too excited writing my comment that I wrote I cant wait for us to be parents. Clearly - thats not what I was trying to say! Love everyone's thoughts/comments/encouragment!
Congratulations! That is so exciting. All Best wishes for you and your family!
