BOY or GIRL........What do you think?????????

BOY or GIRL

According to the Chinese Chart.......it's a GIRL....what are your thoughts?

If I'm right......EVERYONE who says boy will have to take me out to eat to Harvey's.

(Yes, Thomas, Marcus, Colby that includes you!  Bring it on Denzel!)

Stay tuned....

New Besties

Here are my new besties (food that agrees with me without gaggin').  Canada Dry is the best of the best besides water.  It surely settles my stomach when it's going crazy.  Onion bagels are the BOMB.COM!  I put cream cheese on them and I'm in heaven.  I discovered today that Ice Breakers Duo (Strawberry) AND Peanut M&Ms are soooooooooooooo good when eaten TOGETHER!!!!!  You should try it.  ;-)

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT invite me to your house if you're cooking ground beef.  OMG we were browning some the other day and I asked Thomas what was that FONKY smell in our house!  I can't stand the smell of it right now.  ;-) **Chamel & Glenda this explains that Sonic hamburger....lol

Stay tuned.......there is more to come!

We're 6 Weeks Today and Counting..........................

Here is Baby Jones at 6 weeks.  

 Here is a more realistic picture of their actual size.  This is a lentil pictured.  

This week I have been experiencing what it feels like to be stretched and pulled.  My body is definitely preparing a nice little nest for Baby Jones.  Being EXTRA tired is number one on my list.  Thomas has been so good with helping around the house when I just pass out on him.  I'm sleeping 4-5 hours at a time.  And you all know that's hard for me to do when there are things that need to get done.  

I am having to potty every two hours during the night and it's interrupting my sleep.  I've also had a few discomforts due to my body preparing for the baby, so MOM if you're reading this I AM SORRY FOR EVERY HEARTACHE I'VE CAUSED YOU SINCE 1985.  My mom and sister told me your body goes through changes, but I never knew until 2 June 2013 when the signs started kicking in.  

I am so ready for this journey as a new mommy.  I'm doing a documentary so Baby Jones will know what they put momma through.....lol

Stay tuned......we love you!

First Prenatal Appointment

Hey Family!

Our initial appointment went well with our primary care doctor.  They put in the referral request for Tricare and it was approved the SAME day!  Woo Hoo!  Way to go Humana Military!

We are scheduled for our first prenatal appointment on 18 June 2013.  I will be 7 weeks the day before this appointment.  

Stay tuned for more.......

And then there were 3..............................

Hello Family!

If you're reading this you know Team Jones is expanding.  YES, we're expecting.   5 Weeks and 1 Day as of today.  As you've read in our previous posts, the birth control was taken out 31 January 2013 and  conceived 13 May 2013.  

The story is very simple, on Sunday, 2 June, I wanted to just fall over and go to sleep in church.  I've never been this exhausted before.  So on my way home from church I kept feeling nauseous, but I figured it was because my breakfast had worn off.  So when I got home after eating and relaxing, I just went to sleep, literally on the couch, out like a light.  For some reason I jumped up and thought I was running late.........so I went to the bathroom and decided to take a test.   

7 Pregnancy Test

Yes, I took 7 test (this number represent completion).  When I took test #1 I couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I had to take several more.  I contacted my doctor and gave her my dates and PinkPad (app on my phone) information, and learned I'm 5 weeks pregnant and due FEBRUARY 3, 2014!  

My awesome big sis Chamel gave me these books months ago and stated I would need them soon.  Well, she was right.  Thomas and I have been educating ourselves on baby stuff.  Thank you Melly Mel for sharing with us.  

 These are heaven sent.  These are the ONLY two food items that do not bother my stomach.  I had to grab them around 1am this morning.  I also learned an onion bagel with 

cream cheese, a whole peach, and orange juice is the BOMB.COM!  

The prenatal are now in full force.  I am taking them 3 times a day along with folic acid 400 mcg.  I set reminders on my phone to take them.  They are yucky but essential.  

THANK YOU

 To our awesome family.  We truly appreciate the love and support so far.  From the parenting advice to the side affects, we welcome it all.  

We have an appointment tomorrow at 8:30 to meet with the OB/GYN to discuss everything.  Stayed tuned for an update.
