Baby Cameron came a little ahead of schedule, as newly-minted glamma, Jacqueline, revealed to The Daily Dish back in July, Ashlee was due sometime in September. "I think I'm the first New Jersey Housewife to become a glamma. I am so excited. I keep saying my tubes are cut, tied, and burnt, so I'm using her uterus now. And she's having a grandson for me. I'm so excited," she told us. "She's in such a good place. Our relationship has come full circle. During those strong-willed teen years to now, I feel like we've come such a long way."
