A Little Welshican Is On The Way
MAY 13th, 2010 ~
Well, we finally did it - the big "P". For "Pregnant". San informed me early on the morning of Thursday, April 29th, that the home test was positive. I want to apologize to San right away, for not showing an amount of excitement equal to hers; I have two excuses - 1) our previous miscarriage 2) I was sick as hell.
[San here-- My excitement was more confusion than anything. For one, we weren't "trying" and two, I didn't know that the (+) in the pregnancy test window meant you were pregnant. Of course a (+) logically means positive, but I thought I was seeing things. I ran out of the bathroom to get the pregnancy test box and read the directions. Who reads pregnancy test directions? I did. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I was knocked up!]
But then, on May 5th, we went in for an ultrasound. And there in all of his/her shining glory was a tiny little spec of a human with a visual heart beat! I felt a shiver envelop my entire being. San shed tears of joy.
The irony here is that we had kind of given up on the idea of being parents. So, once again, Murphy's Law has prevailed.
We return to the doctor's office on May 27th for the 9 week ultrasound to make sure everything is on track; and so far, so good - San is suffering from morning sickness, as well as afternoon sickness and evening sickness.
As of now, we refer to the little one as JJ.
MAY 27th, 2010 ~
We attended the doctor's office today for the 9 week check-up. The nurse practitioner performed a doppler analysis and this was the first time we heard little JJ's heartbeat. Like a powerful locomotive it was - chugging it's way through the first stages of life! She then performed an on-the-belly (technical term, here) ultrasound and then an in-the-belly ultrasound.

We are now at 11 weeks, as of today. Or, DEFCON 1...still. We went to Target the other day and looked at baby crap. Dear lord. Guess that's what baby showers are for.
We watched the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting and I vomited.
JUNE 14th, 2010 ~
San here--We are now in week 12 and have officially started sharing our happy news with family and friends. My belly is slowly starting to show although it feels ginormous already, maybe it's just bloating. They say gas is a given. Now I can give Chris a run for his money.
I typically fall asleep right after feeding, around 7:30pm. The misery of morning sickness continues, I hate everything I once liked, like everything I once hated, I'm eating pickles more and more. I look forward to the end of morning sickness and starting the second trimester, to an expanding belly, and overall to finding a good name for JJ. Here's what we have come up with so far:
Boy: Ace, Rocco, Leviticus, Samsonite, JimmyJamesJoJuJu, or Chuy (after my crazy cousin)
Girl: Tawanduh, Crayola, Barbarella, Maria de Englewood, Barakabush, or Pájama (French for beautiful night sky)
All these names fit well with the last name Jones so we're having a tough time narrowing our list down.
You'll know what we decide on or around 12/28/10.

Jessica Turns, uh...25. Yeah, 25.
My wonderful sister, Jessica, turned an undisclosed age on June 2nd. On June 5th, we celebrated her birth! Love you, Jess.
The Boys Go Fishing
On Saturday, May 29th, the boys and I ditched our significant others, geared up and fished the Blue River below the dam at Green Mountain Reservoir and subsequently, Lower Cataract Lake which is situated west, above the reservoir.
The following is the footage from said event.

The Kitchen Extravaganza
San & I spent Memorial Day weekend refinishing the kitchen cabinets. The things were stained and varnished and only made our kitchen look drab. Plus, our kitchen only has a small north-facing window and a new coat of Oyster colored paint helped to brighten the room.
So, without further ado, is the actual documented event, in all its glory!
