Here she is-our mature daughter with her mature hubby and silly dog- A Mother To Be. In honor of this special time I thought I would retell the story of the news of her impending arrival.# 1 was 15-a new driver-a sophomore in HS & # 2 was 5 1/2-a beginning elementary school student. I had felt really bad for a while. Convinced I was really sick, I had made several trips to the doctor to try and figure out just what was wrong with me. Sick, sick, sick-I felt terrible-while working full time with my own CPA practice, running a house, and trying to be a good wife-I had my hands full and then feeling terrible on top of all of that. One day, it suddenly came to me-just what was wrong. How could this be? How did this happen? We finally had the two boys in school and life should be getting easier. STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN!
BC came home that day and I was standing out on our covered patio-staring at the backyard-perhaps even a little teary. He walked out the sliding glass door and looked at me and asked the inevitable question, "What is wrong?" I looked at him and said, " I pretty sure I am pregnant. Don't mention it to me or ask me about it, until I tell you I am ready to talk about it." I turned around and walked off. Almost a month later, I was ready to talk, but I will give him credit he did not push it until I was ready. I am VERY sure I left him that day with his heart in his throat.
Quite a shock in the beginning, but we recognized it as one more gift from God. That little baby was a true blessing and one of His greatest gifts that he ever showered on us. We are thankful and she has blessed us each and everyday of her life. Thank you God that Baby is now having her own Baby to bless us all once again.

thats amazing story.
Can you even imagine life without Camille??!! She is a blessing and brings so much life and fun to the Conville family and especially the James family! I remember when she was born...dad took us to LGH to see her. Doesn't seem like that long ago.
you gave me chills!!! maybe you can now have your second home...a retirement home...somewhere around erie, pa!
I can't believe Dad never mentioned it! He's got some will power!!!
Life throws you some curveballs and what is there to do but to just swing away. I could identify with you a little bit there. But God knows what He is doing, we just have to believe in Him (something I don't do enough of). I am so excited that your baby is going to have a baby!
I really can't imagine life without Camille and she is pretty far removed from mine. I still remember helping out with her one summer when she stayed with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Mark. I rememeber buying her ice cream from the ice cream truck. She is a delight! And can't wait to watch the story of Camille being a mommy unfold.
As I watched the Jr. High cheerleaders today at our pep ralley I was overwhelmed thinking about Camille and her classmates doing some of these same cheers. Seems like yesterday....and now she is going to be a Mom! Just chokes me up! Can't help it! Tears at a pep ralley is always weird!
