Splendiferous Zeppelin Escapades

Well, everyone I have officially started a “Mommy Journal.” I am keeping a record of my joys, frustrations and funny things that I experience as a mother. I didn’t want to turn this website into that, so Adam helped me create an off shoot of this one. I will still post big things that happen in our lives here and the little things that are just great for everyone to see here, but for the most part I’ll keep them separate. If you are interested in seeing the “Mommy Journal” just click the link below.

We’ll get a link off to the side soon. Just give us some time.

It all happened unexpectedly, and I’m not being cliche-ish. Every single thing about this whole experience has been unexpected, good and bad. On Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 at 4:45am, I awoke to Jessica saying words not unlike “ADAM!!! Wake up!”. Naturally, I did because I’d been hoping for those words every day for the past week. She was a little excited because her water had broken (”ruptured” as the medical folk say). She had gotten up to go to the bathroom, felt a gushing sensation, and the rest you can guess. After we came to the realization we were going to have a baby that day, my next words, as you can expect, were “Want to go back to bed?”

Well, Spencer Hintze Jeppson made his debut into the world on Wednesday, November 5th. He was born at 2:08 in the afternoon, weighing in at 7 lbs 10 ounces, and measuring 21 1/4 inches long.

The birth story will follow, but I’m tired tonight so it’ll have to wait. If you want to see more pictures of Spencer, and the events leading up to and after his birth just click here.

I felt like creating a digital scrapbook page yesterday. So, after nosing around on some of my favorite sites, I found a contest to enter. They gave me a template to customize and make into my own and then asked to submit it. I felt like that was a good idea that way I didn’t have to think quite as hard in the design portions of it. This is what I ended up with. I am happy with how it turned out.
