Announcement

A little poem...

I do not have a face to see or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss; I don't yet have a name.

You can't hold my tiny hands, nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song, or cuddle me so near.

But all will change come October 6th, when they say I'm due.
For I'll be your son or daughter when I finally meet you.



Ok there it is, I can't hold it in any longer.


Baby Jones is due this fall :)

Happy Birthday Trevor!

At 12:15am 16yrs ago, a little baby boy by the name of Trevor was born, my very own little brother (of course he was Michael's little brother too). I couldn't believe it, there he was just a few ounces shy of 6lbs and perfectly healthy.

The years passed and my admiration for this cute boy continued to grow and grow. Although he would annoy me sometimes when I had friends over - he was determined to get in my business, he was always my buddy. If we weren't watching Thomas the Tank, we were watching Toy Story (and even sometimes Teletubbies). Trevor and I were closer than Michael and I ever attempted (although we are close now and I'm very thankful). Trevor followed me around and annoyed the heck out of me, but deep down I always loved him and I still do.

I was of course happy to be present during his first trip to Disney World, I think I may have even been more excited for him than I was myself. It was during our trip to Disney that he broke his fear of roller coasters and rode every.single.one.


Happy 16th Birthday to the best younger brother, ever! I love you Trevor ;)

A heavy heart

A friend of mine from work had some horrible news yesterday. 
 
She went in for her routine 16w check up, but when the nurse hooked up the heart monitor she couldn't find a heartbeat. 
They found her little baby on the ultrasound, but he/she wasn't moving, just curled up sleeping soundly. 
They scheduled her to deliver today. 
 
I can't imagine experiencing a miscarriage, and I certainly can't wrap my head around having to deliver the baby as if you were 9mos along. 
 
 
Good luck today Kristin.  You are in my thoughts.
