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.

Time for an update
I know, no news from the Jones Family lately. Life seems to just seems to stay so busy that we don't have time to keep up any more. I am now about 16 weeks into the pregnancy, and things are going just fine. We are very excited to know that we are getting closer to the next ultra sound. Daddy (Floyd) can't hardly wait to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. The time will be here before we know it, though.
We are both staying busy at work, and enjoying that. Life outside of work seems non existent at times when I come home and am ready to go to bed. I am having to learn how to pace myself more with the things that I commit to, as my body (and the baby!) aren't wanting me to do everything that I want to do.
We do have a new addition to our family to share with everyone. About a month and a half ago we adopted a new puppy, Toby, into our lives. I don't have pictures ready to share right now, but will get some soon. He is a very active puppy, but that activity is great for Jasper. Toby is adorable, and brings us much joy.
My time is running short this morning, so I must get busy with the things that I have planned, for this busy day. More to come later.

Maybe you guessed it, maybe you didn't...but you are about to find out why:
We are having a baby!!!
We found out last week that I am in the early stages of pregnancy. Our first ultrasound is scheduled for March 21st, when we will be able to see and hear our baby for the first time!
We will try to update our site regularly with new updates to keep everyone in the loop aboutwhat is happening.

Jasper
You have asked, we are responding. Here is our precious dog, Jasper.
He loves to sleep on the bed, especially when we are not around and he can snuggle into his favorite spot.
His spot can change, but you can be guaranteed that he is always comfortable. He loves blankets and pillows. When we are not home we close the bedoom door, but he will curl up on a pillow or blanket on the sofa.
He is definately our baby, and as such we like to call him "Deesper." Guess you have to hear it to understand.
Just about anytime that Floyd is home Jasper likes to be near him. His favorite time is when Floyd is in the recliner and he climbs up to lay on him.
