Update on Baby Jones

For those who didn't already know, we have chosen the name of Samuel Jacob for our precious miracle. We get more and more excited each and every day. So far, everything has been doing well with his progress. We went to the doctor on Friday and found that he seemed to be larger than expected, so we are going back on Monday for an ultrasound to see how he is doing. Please pray that all will continue to go well, and that this is just a sign of a healthy boy who is eager to grow and meet his parents. Please pray for the health of Mommy as well as I have been having problems with back pain and swelling. I have been advised by Daddy to spend this weekend as a bed rest weekend and to stay put at home. I have gotten a lot of sleep and the swelling has been going down and I have felt better because of all of the rest. I have learned through this weekend that I simply need to take better care of myself and get more rest.

We are trying to get things ready in our home to be prepared for him, but this had been quite a journey to get ready. We were given a baby bed and much more great stuff for Sam this week, which we are immensely thankful for. Now it is just being ready for the furniture to come in our home (it is staying at Larry and Brenda's until we have a place to put it). Hopefully, we will have a place to put it in the next two weeks.
