Cal had NAIT this weekend, so it was my first day solo with the kids on Saturday. I started coming down with a cold on Thursday and thought it might be a rough weekend!
Saturday morning Cal headed to school. The kids and I had a great morning and a nice afternoon nap! After Blake woke up from his nap we played a bit and I noticed he was wheezing and coughing. I thought it sounded pretty bad and by the time Cal got home it was worse. So we packed up both the kids and headed to the health centre. There was a very long wait so I called a couple of different medi centres and found one that had a short wait. Since we were going to get in quickly, Blake and I both got checked out. Turns out Blake has mild croup and an ear infection and I have strep throat. The Dr. prescribed Blake one dose of a steroid for the croup and antibiotics for the ear infection and antibiotics for me. I'm feeling a lot better today. Hopefully Blake will be feeling better soon. He had a pretty good day today, up until later this afternoon. I think he's over tired though, we didn't get home from the Dr. and pharmacy until way past his bed time last night. And then throw in the time change and he's missed a lot of sleep!
The most challenging part of my day seems to be when I'm feeding Emerson. Often during that time Blake wants me to be doing something else! He also loves the nursing pillow and wants to lay on it too, so I've gotten him to lay his head on the other side of the pillow!! I tell him thank you for sharing the pillow with Em!
Cal is off tomorrow (Monday) and then back to work on Tuesday. His three weeks of vacation have gone by extremely fast. We can't believe Emerson is 20 days old already! My parents have been sick and hadn't seen her for a week, so they really noticed a difference when they saw her today! She's growing fast. Hopefully I'll make it to the Health Unit to have her weighed this week. On Tuesday we're going to my work for a visit. On Thursday night my sister is coming to visit and is staying overnight at our house, then on Friday my Aunt and cousin are coming from Saskatchewan for a visit. On Friday morning Blake, Em and I are going to a "Welcome Emerson" party that my New Mom's Group is throwing us! Then on Saturday we may have some more visitors from Grande Prairie coming to the shower my sister and Mom are having for Emerson. So it will be a busy, fun-filled weekend!
We hear the weather will be shaping up this week - let's keep our fingers crossed :)
Take care everyone!

1 Boy, 1 Girl ...
Makes for a busy house!! And a very blessed Mom & Dad :)
We are enjoying Cal's vacation time and not looking forward to his return to work on Tuesday. Still holding out hope that we may win the lotto! LOL!
Emerson is 2 weeks, 3 days old and changing so fast. She's growing like crazy! Maybe next week I'll take her in to get weighed. I'm not so concerned about getting her weighed though - I can see her growing before my eyes!! She is a very good baby, but a bit different from Blake. I call her my little drama queen at times! I say it's the female coming out in her personality! She is sleeping quite well. At least 5 hours in one stretch at night and quite a bit during the day. I'm finding she gets a bit gasy at night time though. Not sure why, but doing the bicycle with her legs sure helps! She totally relaxes and loves it!! During her wake times, Emerson is so aware of her surroundings. She turns her head to look all around and makes eye contact with you and really enjoys watching you as you talk to her or tell her a story. She seems to love laying on her back, so I'm sure she'll create a huge bald spot in no time! I noticed today that her hair is lightening up quite a bit and I can definitely see a reddish tinge to it! Maybe we'll get our red haired girl after all?
Blake is doing great. Still seems pretty much unaffected by Emerson's arrival! He is very gentle with her for the most part and loves to give her kisses and rock her in her bouncy chair! He also enjoys sharing his hockey sticks with her and covering her up with her blankies! Oh and I can't forget, just today he's started wiping her mouth with her blanket!! I'm pretty sure he saw me wiping some spit up from her mouth and is copying that! Just last week Blake started referring to himself as "Yake!" For the longest time he's pointed at our dinner plates or drinks or coats, etc. and said, "Mom" and "Dad" and now he's added himself! It's really cute :) We love talking with him and hearing what he might come up with next! He's forming lots of sentences and we've been helping him learn his colors! So far, his favorite is orange. Kinda funny, because Cal's favorite color is orange! Last Friday we went to Cal's hockey game and as predicted, Blake had a blast! First we went upstairs to the restaurant for supper. The game started as we were waiting for our food to arrived and Blake surprised us by cheering and banging on the glass!!! It was so funny! After we ate I took Blake down to the stands. He was chanting, "Hockey, hockey, hockey! Dad, hockey! Hockey, Dad!!!" Then a guy on Cal's team gave Blake a puck to play with (he had his stick with him!) and that got him even more excited. Between periods we took some pictures of Blake and Cal. When Cal picked him up he was a bit mesmerized!! And then much to our surprise he was excited to see the Zamboni and was pointing to it and saying, "Boni! Boni!!" After the game Blake went for a sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa D's. As always, he was quite excited to sleep over and go for a ride in Grandma's car! He loves it when my Dad revs it up!!! We are very lucky to have such a happy, content little man ;)
On Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed to Spruce Grove for family pictures with Rose. As usual, we were not disappointed! She does such an amazing job, it's so worth it! We can't wait to get all the photo's back :) I'll post a couple of sneak peaks on here, she doesn't want the unedited ones on Facebook yet. Blake and Emerson were both very good and Rose was quite surprised at how well Blake behaved.
I think the weather is playing with us! Yesterday was a beautiful day and now we're back to blah!!! I can not wait for the snow to go away and the temperatures to rise. We're really looking forward to playing outside a lot this summer. It's very hard to keep Blake inside, so we're sure he'll love having the freedom of running around in our backyard!
Talk to you all soon,

1st Pediatrician Appt.
Today Emerson had her first doctor's appointment. I knew she was gaining weight quickly, but didn't expect the scale to read 7 lbs 7 oz!!!! Wow! Dr. Radisic was happy with everything, so we won't be back until her 2 month check-up, if everything continues to go well!
Her umbilical cord fell off on Monday (23rd), which we were happy to see. I'm always scared it's going to get infected or something. It looks like she'll have a bit of an outy :)
Emerson is sleeping really well. Last night she slept 6 hours! Since she's gaining so much weight, she's obviously eating enough and there's no way I'm going to wake her up to feed her! And I certainly don't need to worry about my milk supply!! Hopefully she'll continue to sleep well ...
Take care, hopefully the weather will improve soon!

1 Week Old Today!
It is hard to believe, but a week has passed since Emerson was born! It's been a great week :)
Today we took the kids into the health unit to have them weighed and measured. Emerson was a whopping 6 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 3/4" long. Blake weighed 28.3 lbs and was 34 1/2" long. The nurse was very happy to see that Emerson has surpassed her birth weight! Once again, I must be producing cream!! LOL! The nurse said they like to see babies back at their birth weight by 10 to 12 days of age.
We've been enjoying our time together and loving having Cal home from work! Maybe we'll win the lotto soon and he can stay home all the time?! (wishful thinking!)
Blake is doing great with his new sister. We are so impressed! He is being such a great big brother. It doesn't seem like there's been any adjustment needed. He's doing awesome and hopefully that will continue! Tomorrow we're going to the YMCA to sign Blake up as a member. That way we can access the "good" swimming lesson times and get some deals as well! We're going to register him tomorrow for the "My First Preschool" program. I called today to see what it entails and was told they do crafts, have story time and music time, play time, etc. It sounds like something he'll really enjoy! It begins on May 1.
Emerson is such a little sweetheart. She loves being cuddled!! I think she'd like to be held all day and night if we let her! She's sleeping well, just not always at the times we'd like! The last 3 nights she's slept 4-5 hours in one stretch, which is really nice. Otherwise, she eats about every 2-3 hours. Like Blake, she is very alert and strong. One of the nurses we had at the Sturgeon said she'll be reciting her ABC's by 3 months! When she's awake she's looking all over the place and very curious. She lifts her head right off our shoulder's and looks all around! I keep telling her to stop showing off, we know how strong she is :) She has her first pediatrician appointment on Friday. We're enjoying having a little girl and dressing her in all the cute, girly clothes we've been getting as gifts :) My Mom ans sister have found some pretty adorable outfits!!
I'm feeling great, just a bit tired. I slipped on a pair of old jeans this week!! Now I have to get used to having a zipper again! LOL! Today I was feeling a bit sad about missing out on all the time I used to have to spend with Blake. But I'm trying to spend time with him when I can. I'm glad he's so understanding :)
We're looking forward to family pictures on Saturday with the talented Rose! And Saturday afternoon I'm taking the kids to Cal's hockey game. I know this will be a HUGE hit with Blake!! He loves hockey! He recently got a new hockey stick from Grandpa and real hockey gloves from Jer and Linds, so we'll be bringing those!! I can just see how excited he's going to be! It'll be great :)
Take care everyone,

She has ARRIVED!!
Emerson Marie Cameron blessed us with her arrival on Monday, February 16, 2009 @ 8:58 p.m. She tipped the scales at 6 lbs. 11 oz. & 18" long. She has a full head of dark brown hair (which her Mom can't wait to get a barrette in!) and dark blue eyes.
Cal and I were a bit surprised to hear, "It's a girl!" but we are thrilled and have been told many times in the past few days that we now have a "millionaires family!" Blake met Emerson for the first time on Tuesday morning. My Mom and Dad stayed overnight with him at our house and brought him in to see his Mom and Dad and meet his baby sister! He has been amazing with his little sister and hasn't shown too many signs of jealousy. I think he definitely knew a baby was coming and it helps that we practiced saying our baby name choices with him (we taught him to call Emerson, "Em"). He really enjoys holding her on his lap and loves to point out her ears, hands, nose, mittens and socks!! I think he's wondering why she's wearing mittens in the house?!
Cal is doing great! I am so, so, SO glad he is on vacation right now and doesn't go back to work until March 10. He's enjoying being a Dad of 2 and doing an amazing job of it :) He's so great with Blake and Emerson and it melts my heart to watch him snuggle and talk to Emerson!
I'm doing good too! I have to tell you, this labour was much different from Blake's! The first few hours were pretty much the same but the last hour was way different! I went into the hospital on Monday morning for a NST and they decided that since I was already 41 weeks, 1 day and due to be induced Tuesday they would induce me Monday. They didn't have any inductions booked for Monday, due to the STAT holiday and weren't that busy. So I had a cervadil put in at 10:55 am approx. and by 11:05 am contractions had already started!! They chose to use cervadil because I was 2 cm dilated and my cervix was thin and anterior. Apparently this is the least invasive method of induction, as compared to the "gel" and the "drip". When I started feeling contractions it was just like what I felt with Blake when I went into the hospital. So that went on and on and I walked laps around the unit and then it started getting a bit more painful so I went into the shower for awhile and then I decided to get something for pain. So the nurse was checking me out and while she was doing that my water broke. At that point I was 3.5 cm dilated. 20 minutes later I was begging and crying for an epidural and 9 cm dilated. My poor Mom joined us at this crazy time! Talk about painful!!! Can't even describe it. The nurse kept telling me to not run away and breath and it's going to be more fast and furious because it's my 2nd baby, etc, etc. I knew (well, hoped) it would be faster with the 2nd but didn't bank on it being so fast that I didn't have the epidural in time! As the anesthesiologist was doing the epidural I was fighting not to push and trying to sit still amongst back to back contractions. The epidural did kick in right before I delivered, but not completely. I know it wasn't near as painful as if I wouldn't have had anything, but I could feel my legs completely and everything else involved! With Blake I could still feel a bit, but not this much. Anyways the pushing was very short and once I calmed down and was breathing better she popped out quite easily! When they unhooked the epidural they discarded the medication that didn't have time to run through. Yikes!! Unlike Blake's delivery, Dr. Lidkea and the nurses didn't really instruct me to do anything in particular they just kind of let me push when I wanted and for how long I wanted to. I now think that it may have been because I wasn't all numb and could feel what my body wanted me to do! It was a bit surreal. I made comments through out the day about being outnumbered and at least I have a female dog so when Emerson was born Dr. Lidkea said, "Surprise! It's a girl!" My Mom, Cal and I were all a bit surprised! My Dad has thought we were having a girl all along though! Emerson was immediately put on me and we snuggled and cuddled her for about 1/2 hour before they took her to be measured, etc. I'm recovering fine and feeling great, other than being very tired :)
Emerson and I had a visit from the Healthy Beginnings Nurse yesterday. She had dropped to 6lbs. 5 oz. which is perfectly normal. I suspect she'll be back up to birth weight very soon, as my milk is now in. The first few nights she's been eating all night and sleeping more during the day, but we'll try to turn that around in the next few days! When Blake was born he didn't say a word for quite a few days, but Emerson is the opposite - she lets you know when she wants something! Due to her fast delivery she had a bit more than the usual amount of amniotic fluid left in her belly and has been spitting that up over the past few days. On Tuesday it was coming out of her nose and her mouth, which was scary at first. Her blood sugars were low when she was born. They checked them due to the fact that she was quite small for her gestational age. But they were back up by Tuesday afternoon thankfully!
She's absolutely perfect and her resemblance to Blake at birth is remarkable! Cal and I were comparing pictures and in some of them you wouldn't be able to tell if it was Blake or Emerson (except for the fact that the female/male anatomy gives it away)!!!! I was also surprised at how small Emerson was. All along I've been told the baby is a bigger baby. I'm never listening to that again! They said the same thing with Blake.
We hope everyone gets a chance to meet our little princess very soon! Thank you to everyone for all your love and well wishes. Talk to you soon :)
Lots of love,
Cal, Tracy, Blake and Emerson

41 weeks tomorrow!
This is new for us!! Tomorrow I'll be 41 weeks. I'm starting to doubt my due date. LOL! I had Blake at 40 weeks, 6 days. But then I realized today that I had two due dates with Blake, one was April 27 and then the one the Dr.'s went with was April 29. So maybe I was actually 8 days post due date with Blake?!
Who knows, all I know is this baby is not ready to greet the world yet :) This afternoon Cal and I went to the hospital. I wasn't feeling much movement and when I was in for a NST on Thursday it took awhile to get the baby moving and the nurse suggested doing a kick count daily and to come in if the baby wasn't moving a certain amount - which it wasn't today. But turns out everything was fine, phew! If need be I will have to go in for another NST on Monday and the induction is still booked for Tuesday. SO we will be meeting this baby within the next week!!!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend :) Happy Valentine's Day!
Luv Tracy

Happy 30th Birthday Dad!
Yesterday, February 11th was Cal's 30th birthday! Baby did not choose its Dad's birthday to make it's appearance!!! Which is okay, now we'll have one more cake and party in February! LOL! Cal had a pretty low key birthday yesterday - he opened his present from Blake and I after work, then we went out for dinner with my Mom and came back home for some birthday cake. In December Cal took a "30th birthday trip" to Seattle with 2 friends. They had fun, with the highlight of the trip being the NFL football game they attended. And since my Dad was out of town this week, my parents took Cal (and family!) out for supper on Sunday and he opened his gift from my fam! So he has had quite a few celebrations! And they are all well deserved! He works so hard and is such an amazing Dad and husband :) We love you Cal, a.k.a. Dad!
This morning I went for another NST. This time we were there a bit longer because baby was sleeping for the first part. After I ate a banana and a cookie baby starting kicking and I was free to go! My Mom came with us to help keep Blake under wraps! He'll know that unit pretty good by the time the baby arrives!! I'm still feeling great for the most part. Not too much else new to report on the baby front. It seems to be very comfy in there :) I will go for another NST on Sunday if need be.
Talk to you all soon!

My Mom came with us to help keep Blake under wraps! He'll know that unit pretty good by the time the baby arrives!! I'm still feeling great for the most part. Not too much else new to report on the baby front. It seems to be very comfy in there :) I will go for another NST on Sunday if need be.
Talk to you all soon!
