It looks like there is hair..???!!!!

I had an ultrasound last week and my tech said it looks like this baby has hair. I am thinking "no way". Brysen didn't have hair until he was almost two. I was bald as can be when I was a baby. I don't think Jasen hardly had any hair. Well I had another ultrasound today and we are 99% sure that this baby has hair, and not just peach fuzz. He has patches of hair. Where this came from is beyond me. In the ultrasound picture you can see the hair floating from the head in the amniotic fluid. It is crazy!! I guess we will know 100% when he is born, but from the pictures this kid has quite a bit of hair, enough to float around. I still have to get the picture onto my disk, but I will try to post the "hair picture" soon.

Nothing much new, but a New park

Hello all, not much has gone on here lately. Still taking it easy. Jasen found a new park last weekend for Brysen. He loved it. There is a play area for smaller kids and one for bigger kids. Brysen was in heaven. Slides everywhere, he went down them all, multiple times. He was a little timid to go down the "tunnel slide" as he calls it, but when he did he would only go head first, as you can see. It is really getting nice here. The cooler weather is a relief. I can't wait til the leaves change. Out where we live it is a beautiful drive when all the colors come out. I have to say that this is the first time that I have been so happy to see summer pass. Pregnancy and summer do not go hand in hand. Well ta-ta for now.

Here we go again...

Ok, we just couldn't resist another trip to L&D yesterday. Once again I was contracting every 3 minutes or so. After fluids, meds, & more trebutaline I was released to go home. Oh yes, and back on bed rest. So here we are. Don't get me wrong, this little guy needs to stay in there for a few more weeks minimum, but I really wish we could just calm down and lay low for a while. I am starting to think that my name is engraved somewhere on the triage bed at L&D. Besides the trips to L&D everything has been pretty normal. Brysen is learning more and more each day. His vocabulary is amazing and he lets you know everything that is in his little head. The run on sentences keep going, and going, and going, well you get the picture. He is so smart for his age, and I'm not just being that "bragging mom". He really is. I swear he's two going on ten, or more. Well that has been the excitement for this week, I will keep you posted. Hopefully we are done with L&D until the end of the pregnancy.

HERE HE IS....

Ok, Masen is now officially on the blog. We have tried for a while to get a good 3d4d pic of him, but he only wants to give up the profile. So here he is. Masen Cole....AKA TROUBLE.
A little update, contractions still coming, cervix is not changing though, so I am now on partial bed rest w/ PTL precautions. Brysen is really excited, he thinks it is time for Masen to come out. He tells us everyday that Dr. Evitt needs to go get Masen out. Hopefully he will want Masen to stay out once he is in, because I really don't think he gets that Masen CAN'T go back in. He is already not happy that we still need to wait a while before Masen comes out. Well here is a new pic of Brysen too. He decided to be a pirate tonight.

Starting offf


This is the first time I have tried to get computer savvy and start a blog. So bear with me. The best subject for me is my growing family. To catch everyone up to speed, I married the best man in the world, Jasen Jones. We have a son, who is ALL BOY, named Brysen. I also have two step sons that are from Jasen's previous marraige, Kolby & Klayten. We are currently expecting a fourth son, Masen who is due to arrive November 2008. Though I have to say he is giving us a run for our money. We have had two goes with preterm labor, 4 triage visits and one 23 hour admit in the past month. We are now on our third round of bed rest. We have already nicknamed Masen, TROUBLE. I think he is going to come out full steam a head and be a perfect fit for the fantastic little men that already make our life the best adventure one could ask for. We reside in Tennessee. Which in itself is the best setting for our family. We built a new home in August of 2007, with an expanding family we needed a house that would expand with us. We live in Rutledge, TN, right outside of Knoxville, enough to be "in the country" as Jasen says. We are definitely in the country, which is perfect for this family. I am currently an office manager for an OBGYN office. Jasen is in the plumbing field, a field he has been in for 11 years. He is also continuing his education in wild life conservation. We still have family and friends in PCB, FL and try to visit as often as possible. When all of the boys are here we frequent Dollywood, the Zoo, Chuckie Cheese, the lake, the mountains, and I think my favorite place is our back yard. The boys make cycles between swimming, 4 wheeling, smores, swing on vines, camping, gardening, playing ball, water guns, and yes just sliding down the dirt wall they have created. It is a non-stop train, but one I never want to get off. Oh and before I forget we also added another member of the family on this past father's day, Jack D.O.G Jones. He is our yellow lab. What family is not complete without a dog. Once again another boy. Well that is a sneak peak into our life, trust me more to come. Once again I hope you enjoy, because we do!!!!
