Baby Guest!

2nd Appointment

So I went in on Friday, May 6th for the second appointment with Dr. Vallery! They took my vitals, weight, blood pressure, etc. The nurse took me to the room so she could try to hear the heartbeat. She told me not to worry if we couldn't hear it with the Doppler, she said you usually have a harder time between 10-12 weeks. Well, we didn't hear it. So when Dr. V came into the room she told me we would have to hear it by "cheating"! I'm so glad we did!! I got a second ultrasound!!

I got to see how much that little peanut has grown in three and half weeks! I was truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen!! The little things was dancing!! She/He gets that from me!! She/He also waved at the "camera".

How can something so small, cause me to fall totally in love with her/him? I can't wait to meet my small little child! To see what she/he grows up to become!! I'm so ready for this adventure!!

I love you, Little One!!

Let the count down begin!

We had our first pre-natal exam last week! Dan was so sweet! He sat in the lobby for about an hour and a half waiting for me to come out. He seemed a little disappointed at first thinking I was going to get to see the baby without him!!

After the physical part of the exam was over the Office Manager fetched him to come on back for the ultrasound! He was so nervous and excited! He held my hand as we got to see the tiny little peanut! But when we heard the heart beat; we both squeezed each others hands and shed a little tear of pure happiness!!

I really like our doctor, Dr. Vallery! She awesome!! She kept telling me because I "was old" that I'll have to see a Specialist for High Risk births, so far I only have to go twice!

So far this adventure has been such an amazing journey! Can't wait to see where life is going to take us and what kind of child I have! I know he/she is going to be amazing!!

WOW!!

I got some really great news today (or at least it was confirmed)! I'M GOING TO BE A MOMMY!

I know; it's pretty early to be sharing with the world. I'm only 4.5 weeks along, but it was too exciting of news NOT to share! For the three of you that read this; I'll share my adventure along the way!!

Dan's family are all excited! His mom has sent him the sweetest email expressing her excitement! Today sent an e-card to us so sweet!! My family is just excited but they have some concerns that we are so excited and it being so early in the pregnancy.

Dad wants a boy! Mom wants a girl! Dan wants a boy!! I just want a healthy happy child!! What do you think?

I found him!!

After many years of searching for the perfect man for me, I have finally found him!! He is wonderful!! He's cute and funny! Smart, witty! Charmning! Love family! So far all those in my family have really liked him!!

There is something wrong with me!

Don't worry, I'm not sick or anything. There is a guy that is obvious that he likes me; but I don't feel anything for him at all. He's sweet, kind, funny. But what's wrong with him. Well for starters he's married. Granted he and his wife are separated and he's contacted a divorce lawyer. But the fact of the matter is that he is still married. He sent me a text today saying that he wanted to spend more time and do more things with me. He is fun to be around but I can't spend too much time around him before I go a bit crazy. He uses double negatives. I can't stand those. I guess I just might be a relationship snob. I don't want a man that is uneducated or at least sounds like he is.

Is that wrong?

Bob Jones

My family lost a great man this weekend. My grandfather. Robert Tyre Jones. He was a caring, loving, generous, kind hearted man! This family was truly blessed to have come from him!

After my parents divorced and mom and I had to live in that flea bag apartment. Memaw and Papaw had me live with them. I remember waking up and "hiding" under the kitchen table while he eat his breakfast. I would sit on his foot while he was eating and not get off it while he walked to the front door towards work. When he would get home from work he would stand next to the table and I would get on his back and he would pretend that he didn't know that I was there! He would say, "Faye? Have you seen Erica? I can't find her anywhere!" I would then say, "I'm right here, Papaw!!" He would turn around like a dog chasing his tail "looking" for me!! I would then bite his ear to get his attention!! For years I thought the crease in the right ear was from me biting it over and over again!!

I miss him so much!! But I know that he is in a better place. He is playing golf with Steve and Art and Dave. Memaw and Genny are cooking for them! Grace is probably overseeing and bossing all of them!!
