32 Weeks!

Fall Family Pictures!!!

31 Weeks!

9 more to go! Although-still measuring big, so maybe less! My next OB visit is Monday, so i'll have more details then :) So far, i've gained 13 lbs (Addison makes up about 3.5 of those LOL)

Our (Other) New Kitty! LOL Meet Nermal!

We took in a little rescued kitty this weekend! His name is Nermal (yes, named after the cute kitty off of Garfield). We adopted Tinkerbell a few months ago, and after 6 weeks, she was NOT a good match for our family. She always hid and was a meanie. So-here is our new "replacement" kitty (does that sound bad?)

She is teeny, tiny and VERY cuddly with the kids. Tag just avoids her. Hopefully they will warm up to each other. Here are some pics from tonight! She is hanging out in Kyle's hoodie LOL

Happy Birthday Taylor!!!

First Playstation 3 Game..she is a gamer like Kyle :)

Her necklace is from her Nana and PopPop, along with the card (which plays music and seems to constantly be open LOL)

What Else Would I Do With a $100 Bag?

Found this on the desk today...LOL

28 Weeks...30 Weeks...Whatever I Am at This Point...

I had my OB appointment this morning, which was full of fun things. I am slightly anemic, so I have to start taking iron tablets along with my daily vitamin. I passed my 1 hour glucose test, so I don't have gestational diabetes (I haven't ever had it though...). Blood pressure was great...and I have gained only 11 lbs at this point!

Speaking of...I'm not sure where I am exactly. I am positive of my ovulation/conception, however, I am measuring to be 30 weeks instead of 28 weeks. Dr. Babin is even ordering another ultrasound to check everything out...she believes that this baby will be "big", whatever that means. Not a bad big, just bigger than my last pregnancy.

Taylor was 7lbs 12oz, and Chase was 6lbs 14oz...so I have never really had a "big" baby. This should tie in nicely with my plans of a natural childbirth! LOL I have definitely noticed more movement and feel alot bigger than I did with Chase, but it isn't abnormal seeing as how this is my third pregnancy. It feels very weird to think that in 10ish weeks, I will have THREE kids!

I will see the OB again in 3 weeks, then another 3 weeks, then 2 weeks, 2 weeks, and-if I make it-one final visit a week later. This is the part that flies by, so i'm very excited about it all :)

Anyway-here is my picture update...28/30 weeks...whatever! :)

25 Weeks (or is it 27 now?)

My OB swears I am measuring at 27 weeks, and to expect a 2009 baby. *Fine with me* LOL I guess I am finally seeing what she is talking about in the "measuring big" department. My belly has grown ALOT in the last couple of weeks. But-I've only gained 6 lbs this ENTIRE pregnancy...i'm very happy about that! :)

13ish weeks until Addison Olivia Jones arrives!!!

Dessert Time! Easy Peasy Sundae Pie

About once a week or so, we have dessert night where the kids help make an EASY dessert. Tonight was Sundae Pie. Very Simple, but really good! Layer ice cream sandwiches, a layer of Cool Whip, and then ice cream toppings in a dish. Chill for about 30 min and you are good to go! :) We did caramel, chocolate syrup, and toffee pieces. YUM!

PS-Why can't my kids smile??? LOL They make the goofiest faces when the camera comes out!

It's Getting Close!

A friend of mine made me this "siggy" to use on my blogs and message boards!

It's (Almost) Fall Y'all :)

Taylor was proud of her "decorating skills", and wanted to take pictures! Enjoy :)

Yay for Scentsy! I am loving "Cinnamon Cider" right now!

Kyle looks thrilled to be in the picture LOL

Is It Fall Yet???

It is at the Jones house! The kids loved helping out...even though it's 90* here LOL

OB Appointment Update-23 1/2 weeks

At my last appointment (22 weeks), I had another sonogram, but my OB was called out to a delivery and I didn't get to see her...Finally saw her this past Thursday! :)

BLOOD PRESSURE: Things were GREAT! My blood pressure has been awesome this time. It was very high with Taylor, good with Chase, and excellent this time!

WEIGHT: I've only gained 6 lbs! SIX! This is from someone who has gained up to 53 lbs, then 35 lbs! LOL I am very happy with it, as is Dr Babin. I do expect a big increase over the next couple of months, but so far, so good. My goal is 15-20 lbs total. With my history, I can't lose while breastfeeding, so hopefully this will help out some.

SIZE: Im actually measuring 2 weeks ahead of time using the fundus measurements (1 centimenter from bottom to top of my belly=1 week) So-I should measure 23 cent., but actually measured 25! Not sure what that means at this point. I hope it means that I will go a little early (2009 would be nice LOL). Of course, I could birth a 10 lb baby...LOL We'll see.

BABY: Is feeling a lot bigger than Chase at this point. I have been feeling the rolling movement, and low/high movement at the same time. I didn't feel this until around 30weeks (not 23!) Chase was a smaller baby, so I can really tell this time around, even this early, that she will be a little bit bigger.

UP NEXT: I am scheduled to go back in 5 weeks, and i'll get my iron levels and my Glucose checked. Prayers against anything bad in that area! I haven't had Gestational Diabetes in either pregnancy, so hopefully this one will continue that.

SWINE FLU: I swear, if one more student comes up to me, breathes on me, then tells me they are flu-ish, I will hit them. Seriously-I will :P We have had a HUGE number of absences due to both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 strain. It's funny to hear other people freak out at this point bc one or 2 people they know have it. Well, I had about 70 kids out with it last week. Thankfully i've been good. I make sure to wash my hands and use sanitizer. I've also opened my classroom windows while students are in to "air out" the room several times a day. So far, so good. This should make for an interesting fall semester though...doctors are saying it won't be easing up and to expect it harder/earlier this year. (Really-ya think?)

So-that is my update...i'm 24 weeks on Tuesday, so my next appointment will have me at 28 weeks. I swear this pregnancy is flying by! Addison Olivia Jones will be here before we know it!

22 1/2 weeks :)

Feeling great! I love the 2nd trimester (and most of the 3rd...don't get me wrong! LOL) I love being pregnant!

Me and Bella

This was one of the pics from last weekend...the only one of me and my new cousin, Isabella! She is so beautiful!!!
