James & Carolanne

I've got time!

Here's a recent picture of James and Benjamin. I thought that since I had some time right now I would write a post for the blog about how life has been going. Right now Benjamin is taking a nap so I have some free time to do other things. Life with a baby can be really demanding, but really rewarding too. Benjamin looks to us to fulfill all his needs. The last Wednesday of June...

It's a Boy! - Fixed Pictures

Well our new addition to our family has arrived! His name is Benjamin Matthew Warkentin. He weighed in at 7 pounds 8 ounces. He was born May 15th at 7:25 pm. Isn't he so cute?! We think so. The proud parents right after delivery. I was so glad when they told me I could finally push. It was only 4 contractions later until little Benjamin flew into this world. A proud daddy! No the wheelchair...

Still pregnant!

Well I'm writing this blog post to let you know we are still pregnant. Baby has not chosen to come early, even with all the busyness of moving and setting up house and all. I'm actually quite happy about this, because I'm not quite ready for baby to be here yet. I know baby will come when baby is ready and it has nothing to do with weather or not I'm ready or not, but...

March Baby update

Well we went for another doctors visit. We got the test results back from the glucose test that we did a couple weeks ago and everything is fine with that. NO GESTATIONAL DIABETES!! That is an answer to prayer, because I was praying that those tests would be negative. I've heard of people who get gestational diabetes and it does not sound like much fun to have to go through. The doctors visit went well...

Baby update

Well I thought that it was about time for me to blog on here more about how the pregnancy is going. At this point we are almost 29 weeks along and for those of you that it makes more sense to hear months we are 7 months pregnant. It won't be too much longer now till this little bundle arrives. The estimated due date for this little bundle is May 16th. My oldest brother and...

Ultrasound Pics

Well, I'm not sure if it's considered "kosher" to post ultrasound pictures online, but here is baby Bun at 23 weeks. Kinda looks a little space-age-ish, but based on these and other pictures we've seen, Bun does appear to have the correct number of limbs. Baby Bun's heart also appears to work well as we got to watch it pumping. We're not sure yet if Bun is a boy or a girl, but we hope...

Doctors visit

Well James and I went for my doctors visit. We are 15 weeks along now. We listened to the heart beat again and the doctor talked about a bunch of different things and gave us papers and did a small physical. He was very encouraging and it was nice to hear that we are doing the right things. We then had to go down and have my blood tested. It's weird how such a small...

We're Having a Train?

Well it's official, we are going to have a train. Well at least that's kind of what a baby's heart beat sounds like. We went to the doctors today to hear the heart beat of our baby. Soon as James heard it he said "Well it's official, we're going to have a train". A babies heart beat does sort of sound like a train. It was really cool to hear and to see James' reaction...

A BABY on the way

Well for those of you who did not read the part, or any part, of our newsletter about us being pregnant. I'd like to inform you that "we are pregnant". We are due late April. I'm thankful that I am not suffering from morning(day) sickness. I do feel tired in the afternoon and need to have a nap to be able to function properly for the rest of the day. I'm not complaining though, it's...
