And the Two Shall Become One... One Year Later Expecting a Baby!

           Wow! It's already been a year, it's so hard to believe! It seems like just yesterday we were in a time crunch to try and get last minute things done for the wedding. I never thought I would say this, as it was such a busy and stressful time, but I wish I could go back and re-live that wonderful day of June 13, 2010. It all went by so fast! Married one year and been together for five years, it just doesn't seem real. A lot has happened in the time we have been together, and its made us closer than ever, it's truly a bond I can't explain. I love Brenton more each day and thank God every night for bringing him into my life. He really is my everything and I couldn't ask for anyone better to spend the rest of my life with. I included one of my favorite wedding pictures of us below.

             Like I said, a lot has changed, and a lot has changed just recently. I am now in week 8 of my pregnancy.. heck yes only 5 more weeks to go until the second trimester!!! We have had two ultrasounds so far and have heard/seen the heartbeat both times! It's a feeling like nothing I have ever felt and I already love my 'snowflake' so much!!  I am definitely feeling pregnant right now: exhausted, major food aversions, so moody and weepy, and ohhh the nausea. Who ever titled it "morning sickness" was an idiot! While I have not exactly been enjoying myself thus far, I try to remain thankful every day. Some people have asked us if this was an "oops" baby, definitely not the case people! This was very much planned, as planned as you can get really. This journey was not an easy one. We experienced a lot of heartache, loss, and many meds and shots.      A lot of people don't agree with taking medications and shots to achieve a pregnancy, and I will tell you I struggled myself with the decision. But, reality is reality, and when you are told you will not ever be able to achieve a term pregnancy and then experience that firsthand, we knew what we had to do.   Words can't express my gratitude right now, and to make it even better.. Brenton is beyond thrilled he is going to be a dad! It's an amazing feeling and really just one more obstacle we have overcome together!  We pray every night for our 'snowflake' and that he/she continues to stay nice and snuggled in its "home" until January!   Below is a pic of our 7 week ultrasound.. if you look close enough you can see the beginnings of little nubs! And a picture of me at 8 weeks.

            For now, thats all to report from the Jones household. Until next time.. take care and God bless!
