Jared and I went to the doctor today to find out the gender of Lil' Jones.  I drank a little Dr. Pepper before our appointment like my friend, Melissa, suggested in hopes to get Lil' Jones moving (and uncrossing it's legs).  Well, it worked because the ultrasound went great and the tech is 100% sure we are having a...

...BOY!!

We are SO excited and can't wait to start getting ready for our little man!  Be on the lookout for nursery and other fun updates!  Let the preparations begin...

two posts in one day...

I feel the need to share some baby updates.  Jared was able to get some work done over the week and he finished the nursery floors!  SO EXCITING!!!  Below is a wonderful update with pictures.  Enjoy!!!

Jared working hard for Lil' Jones

Here it is before...hopefully the after comes before July

Future nursery

This will be heading up to the attic once the weather gets better

Jared's hard work looks amazing

Closet with some baby goodies

My Fossil "diaper" bag

Love it!

We decided that we are going to put the nursery in the larger room and the twin bed in the smaller one.  It makes me so excited to see things coming together.

Next step...set up the furniture!!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

After being stuck in the house for a whole week, we finally got actual SNOW!!!  It looks so beautiful on the ground compared to the disgusting ice we have seen all week.  This morning, Titan, Bridgette and I went out early to enjoy the snow!  Titan ran back into the house as fast as he could but, Bridgette and I played a little bit.  She loves to play ready, set, go any chance she can get. 

Bridgette...Ready, set, GO!!!

Hopefully, we'll get lucky and be able to get out of the house tomorrow.  Our nursery furniture is in so hopefully we'll be heading to Babies-R-Us tomorrow! 

Cabin Fever...

I never thought that I would complain about having 6 day weekend but, I am.  After 3 snow days and not being about to get out of the house, I have gone CRAZY!  One good thing about being home for 3 days straight is that I have been able to do a lot of baby research.  I have started a little "Baby Wish List" with all of the big items we are going to buy or register for. 

More Important Baby News...

I am really excited to say that I have officially felt the baby move!  It is absolutely amazing!  It just felt like a little flutter and it was the sweetest feeling ever.  We had our 16 week appointment this past Monday and everything went well.  The doctor did an ultrasound but the little stinker had it's legs crossed so we don't know the gender yet.  We go back this coming up Monday to try again...hopefully we'll have more luck this time!  Stay safe and warm out there!    

bull's night out

Jared and I have big plans tonight, Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, here we come!  I am not a big rodeo person so this is pretty new to me.  Jared's work invites their employees and families to this every year.  Looks like Lil' Jones will get to see some cowboys next year.  So excited!!!

On another note, might I add that I have updated our blog 2 days in a row.  Yes, I know I rock!   

to buy or not to buy...

Jared and I have been looking at baby furniture lately and are having a hard time picking some out.  We found one we liked but it was too expensive.  This weekend we saw one at Babies R Us that converts to a full size bed and here's the best part...

WE HAVE COUPONS!!!

Let me know what y'all think!

it's about time

For all of you who doubted my ability to blog...well, apparently you are correct.  Blogging is not something I am very good at but, now that I have something to blog about...my computer's out and ready to go!

For those of you who don't know, Jared and I expecting our first child this July!  We are SUPER excited and are loving this journey so far.  I am 14 weeks pregnant today and finally feeling better.  The first trimester was not a fun one but, I am starting to enjoy being pregnant now that I have my appetite back and more energy.  We have been busy looking for furniture and getting ready for our little one.  We are having so much fun!
