I'm Surfacing...

To be honest, I have no clue where to start. The last seventeen days have been abnormal. Well maybe not ABnormal, but the new normal that I'm trying to get used to which is abnormal for me and what I've known until this most precious blessing presented herself into our lives.
I'd like to start with the birth story and work my way forward, but that is going to take some time. So for now just know that I haven't forgotten you all. I'll be posting and updating and everything else. It is just that life has changed for us in the Jones household and everyone is still adapting. The news will come though... between feedings, cooking, laundry, dirty diapers and the such. I'll get it in. I promise.
Now where's all those people who volunteered to change at least one dirty diaper... I'm looking for you. Especially since Sweet Potato just made a new one while we were on her doing this short update. See what I mean. It may take a minute.

PS. Thanks everyone for the prayers and support. I know those prayers got me through the long labor and the c-section. Please keep us in your prayers.

You are So Beautiful!

So after months of anticipation and years of waiting the new Jones family member is here.



Isn't she beautiful? (I wish you all could hear this sound bite from my wedding.)

Born: 3/31/08 @ 11:03 pm
Weight: 8lbs 4 oz
Length: 20.5 inches
& they say she looks like: Her dad and he says she looks like me.

I'll be updating the blog with more info and details as soon as a I get home and get some more rest.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support.
This has been such a rewarding experience... even after 27 hours of labor and a c-section. I don't even know what I've done to earn such a beautiful blessing.

& for those of you who raffled, guessed, and racked your brain helping us try and come up with something, her name is Kyndahl GiAnnah Jones. Named Kyndahl by her dad which means Royal Valley. GiAnnah after her mother, maternal grandmother, and maternal great-grandmother who is deceased, but the name means God's Gracious Gift which she is.
