Christmas Fun...

I would definitely have to say that this was the best Christmas I ever had. It was so awesome to have our sweet Brody Scott this Christmas. We started off Christmas going to the Christmas Eve service at church, then dinner at Grandaddy and Nannies. Afterwards we came home and....

 left cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Then off to sleep, so Santa would come.

 We got up bright and early to start our Christmas day.

 Daddy brought Brody in to see what Santa Clause had left for him.

 Then it was time to open his gifts.

 Brody was wide eyed the whole time. We were so excited he wasn't sleeping, but actually "helped" open his gifts. =)

 Then it was time to play with his new toy Santa brought him.....

What a wonderful Christmas morning. Kevin and I got our gift this year, our little man. =) 

 We are so thankful for Jesus as well. Happy Birthday JESUS!

Merry Christmas....

Can't believe our boy is already 2 weeks old. He is growing so fast.  Love our precious boy.

Our Smiley Boy!

Brody is 2 weeks old today!

Welcome to the world Brody!

Kevin and I are proud to announce the arrival of our sweet baby boy Brody Scott Jones

 Brody decided to make his appearance into the world 4 weeks and 2 days early.

He was born at 9:52 on November 26th. Weighing in at 5 pounds 14 ounces and 19 1/4 inches long.

Brody is a very healthy boy. He came to the world with his cord wrapped around his neck and his fluid levels very low. He had to stay in the NICU for 3 days, but is doing great. He is a little jaundice, but his levels are going down everyday. We truly are blessed to have such a strong healthy little boy to be so early. Brody is home now, and is doing Awesome!

Best Moment this week: Getting to have another ultrasound of Brody. I love seeing him. I've been lucky and had an ultrasound at every visit, so it will be hard to have an appointment and not get one.

23 week ultrasound

Look at that sweet baby boy.....

My appointment Thursday was a very hard one. I have been having lots of dizzy spells and passing out, so they went ahead and did my iron test early. We did find out I am anemic, and they put me on some iron supplements. Hopefully they will kick in soon and I will feel much bettter.

Then we have our ultrasound. We had an ultrasound at my last appointment, and I thought Brody was just being stubborn and wouldn't let them get a good picture of his heart. This ultrasound they spend what feels like forever trying to get a good picture of his heart. Of course the tec's can't tell me anything. They give me his pictures and put me in a room. The doctor comes in not even a minute later and says we are sending you to a fetal cardiologist in Birmingham. While I am fighting back tears, the doctor explains that Brody's right heart atrium looks mishaped or is not growing correctly. He wants us to go to UAB to have a cardiologist do an ultrasound on Brody, and see what he thinks. Nervous Momma kicks in very quickly, but at the same time such a peace. God is in complete control and has a plan for our sweet baby boy! He is such a miracle baby anyway, we know GOD is going to do something so special with our little boy. Praise Him! Thank you to everyone who is praying for our family. We love you all so much!!

Best Moment this week: Finding out we are having a boy and picking his name:

Brody Scott Jones

IT'S A BOY!!!!

Big Shocker, huh?! LOL!

I went to the doctor yesterday for a normal check up. The nurse came in with the Doppler to try and find the babies heartbeat, and could not find it. She went to go get another nurse and while she is gone the doctor comes in, and begins to talk to me. In the meantime, the nurse comes in and starts listening. Literally it seemed like she listened for a good ten minutes with no luck. So, the doctor called for an ultrasound, and I begin to freak out. This same thing happened at my 11 week appointment. I didn't stress at that appointment, b/c I new it was normal sometimes with the first appointment to not be able to hear it on the Doppler. Well, I'm fifteen weeks now, and it should (in my mind lol) be easy to find. Well this little one was trying to give Momma a hard time. They put me in a sub-waiting room, b/c there was 4 people ahead of me to have an ultrasound. That was the longest 45 minutes of my life. In the midst of tears I text Kevin, who couldn't get away from work. I told him, oh don't worry this is just a check up. Not a big deal, just the normal blood pressure, weight, etc.. Lol boy as I wrong. I text family and a few close friends and asked for prayers. I said lots of prayers, drank lots of water to try and stop the tears, even tried facebook and some solitaire on my iPhone to pass the slow time. Finally they call me back. I lay on the table, she puts the ultrasound thingy on my tummy and I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. =) Praise the Lord our baby is OK.
The nurse, typed a few things on her computer and I saw it!!! Our little boy. I knew it, it's a boy! She said, "do you want to know what it is?" I hesitated because Kevin wasn't there, but quickly said "it's a boy". She smiled and said yes. She tried to get a picture to show he was a boy, but he was a typical little man and kept covering it with his hand. lol! She did get a few more pictures of our little turtle though... It's neat to be able to see his little bones in all these pictures. I can't wait for my next appointment, for a long ultrasound. That was the appointment we were supposed to find out what we are having, but in the midst of our little scare God let us have a little joy in the midst of the worry.
Thank you Lord for answered prayers! You truly are an AWESOME God!

Video...

I know it has been a long time since I have posted. I've been off the wagon for a while now.
Just wanted to share a video from my town. I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where the Tornado hit. We have over 100 deaths just in tuscaloosa, 496 missing and 96 injured and counting.... Please pray for our town!
For some reason it is not coming up in a video box, so copy and paste it in your address bar then hit enter and it will take you to the video:

Dresssssss

Like I have written about before, some of our very close friends are gettin hitched, =) and she has made me her matron of honor. Well I think we may have found the dress....

I love it. It is so pretty. She is still deciding on a color, probably blue.

So, here we go again.... MOTIVATION! 15 weigh in's until I have to order it. My ultimate goal for her wedding day (Oct. 8) is to lose 40 pounds (or be pregnant,lol) but we have to order the dress on July 2. So I would like to have at least lost 30 pounds by then. That's fifteen weigh in's at an average of 2 pounds a week. It's totally achievable, but my question to myself is "Heather, will you allow yourself to do it?"

My second question to myself is "Why haven't you worked harder?" I am miserable, nothing fits, I can't breathe, I can go on and on, but have I really worked as hard as I could, NO! Just point blank honest. I could try harder. I could do better, but why haven't I? I guess truly I just have not cared. I don't know how to explain it. I am miserable, yet I don't do anything about it. I have the motivation, but I don't chase it.

NO LONGER! The race is on. Either 40 or baby!!!!

Saying lot's of prayers and putting this in God's hands!!!

Weigh In

I had a point four gain this week, buuut.... Tom is here. :/ So I am very happy with this number. I know I should never be happy with a gain. I actually thought it would be more, but with Tom. So..yes I am! Plus it wasn't even half a pound. lol! I know it's just water weight. No worries!

Fishing Fun....

Hubby and went fishing yesterday afternoon. It was so much fun and relaxing. I love it.

We came home with only 3, but we got lot's of nibbles. Nothing wanted to grab on though.

Diet has gone pretty good this week. Working out has not. It's either one or the other, lol!
