FLASHBACK AND COMPARE ONE MONTH OLD VERA&DUNCAN
One of the startling things about having a second child is the comparisons and differences that are noticed. Some so slight only the parent can witness the changes. I (Papa J.) commemorated every monthaversary for Duncan’s first year with a picture of him with a Teddy Bear. I kept count of the number of months as each one passed by increasing the number of Teddy Bears used (refer to the November 8, 2007 post in the Archive drop down menu on this page). I don’t think I’m going to do the same thing with Vera, but I couldn’t resist the first month here 2007 and 2010 for comparison.
VERA IS ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!
A few pictures of the many happy moments of Vera’s first month with us.
Vera’s First stroll on May Day At North Beach Centennial Kick-off!
The first week and a half with our newborn baby girl Vera has been bliss. She is adjusting very comfortably to her home with us. Sean is healing and recovering very well. The family took Vera out on her first stroll on Saturday, May 1. It just happened to be the kick-off celebration for the town’s centennial year!

Vera is one week old today.
It’s already been one week since that mad morning rush to the hospital. What a difference a week makes. The family is adjusting well to our new roles and responsibilities. And VERA is doing just great. Marking her one week debut here, still sporting her ID bracelet and her first pair of shoes!
DAY2: Duncan meets his Baby Sister!
Duncan met his sister today at the hospital. What started out with a little trepidation, soon led to great displays of fondness and curiosity! Vera’s feet was the ice breaker. Once, Duncan saw them.. he was smitten :) Hopefully, friends forever!! Sean is up and moving and all looks good for a release by Saturday. All news is not good in our family though, Aunt Marilyn is in the hospital for reasons yet to be determined. She is in our thoughts for a speedy recovery as well.

At 1:05 PM, Vera Eve Mansperger was delivered by cesarean section to her parents Sean and Willie J. Mansperger. She is our first daughter. Her weight: 7 Lbs 13 oz. Sean and Baby are doing quite well. More info and pics to follow soon.
LOOKING FORWARD: LAST WEEKEND OF JUST THE THREE OF US!
As we approach the final days before we deliver our baby girl into this world, we reflect on how far we have come as a family. Duncan is now 2 1/2 years old and seems to be eager to meet his sister. Sean has checked out well and we are scheduled for c- section Thursday evening. We are anxious that Baby girl keeps to that date, for she could very well come earlier than that. I’ll keep updates as soon as possible.
Filed under US, Our family | Comment (1)2 Birthdays, 2 Easter Egg Hunts and 2 1/2 weeks to go for Baby#2!
With two and 1/2 weeks to go (or less) until baby arrives, we welcomed Easter this year with celebrations at both Grandparents homes. Easter coincidentally fell on Duncan’s Granddad Shaw’s Birthday this year! The day before, we celebrated Duncan’s Grandmomma Donna’s Birthday with her and Duncan’s Pappy Mike. We liked to thank all who have sent well wishes to us already. If anything happens before the 22nd, it will be updated here ASAP 
ONE MONTH TO GO!! YEAH!
FIRST, we purposely waited awhile before posting anymore Sean pregnant pictures here, but now, we can’t contain our excitement! One month to go before our scheduled C-section to deliver our baby girl! All is well. Here’s us with friends who have stopped by to congratulate us recently.
Our son Duncan has a trike now! and started using it on Friday, March 19. His first bike! He loves it!!
SECOND, I want to address the recent reaction to news that there is another Transgendered couple who are pregnant. See this article

I am very curious how and why people feel they have a right to try to lead someone Else’s life! How one lives and loves is their own business. I wish more people would concentrate on working out their own life and love problems, without trying to figure out everyone Else’s.

An Historic day in Washington D.C. as Gay couples are allowed to legally marry for the first day ever. Sean and I couldn’t help but imagine that we would have been one of those 150 couples or so, getting married today if we were not so lucky as to have already officially and legally married on September 13, 2005 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
It has been 1639 days since we were married in Lake Tahoe, NV. That is 4 years, 5 months and 25 days
