Well it is official. His name shall be Daxton Thomas.
Derrick picked out the name Daxton and I just loved it.
Thomas is Derrick's middle name and was passed down from his granddad on his mom's side James Thomas. Daxton and Derrick have the same initials.
And everyone who has heard the name seem to like it. We will
call him Dax for a nick name I'm sure.
Love Never Fails
2 year anniversary
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAXTON

37 Weeks
HOW BIG IS MY BABY? Baby is about 6.5 pounds and 21 inches.
WHAT CHANGES ARE OCCURING IN MY BABY? Baby will suck it thumb and still plays with the umbilical cord. Baby is receibing maternal antibodies that will provide immunities to protect him in his first months of life.
HOW BIG AM I? Should be measuring 37cm and have a total weight gain of 25 to 35 pounds. Well lets see...I measured 40cm at my last Dr's visit. And a total weight gain of -4 pounds...yep that's right. I've slowly been gaining back the 21 I lost in the first 19 weeks. I still have 4 more pounds to break even. Don't know why I'm so blessed!
HOW AM I FEELING? CRAZY!
HOW IS MY HUBBY FEELING? SLEEP DEPRIVED and the baby isn't even here yet!
QUESTIONS FOR MY DR? I really wish he would quit talking C-section
THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK: OK this week... this one gets the UGH!!!!. There's not enough time to type it all! LOL
SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WEEK: I think Derrick and myself are looking forward to being off, taking care of our baby, spending some well needed quiet time together. We'll see how well that goes, with a newborn in the house...Daxton - Be GOOD!

35 Weeks
HOW BIG IS MY BABY? Baby Boy is about 5.5 pounds and about 20.25 inches
WHAT CHANGES ARE OCCURRING IN MY BABY? The baby's lungs are the last organs to mature. Baby has a keen sense of taste and has tasted all the flavors of my food in the amniotic fluid. If I eat garlic my fluid will taste like garlic... Note to self no strong smelling food the last weeks of pregnancy...just in case my water breaks I would prefer it to smell like cinnamon buns not garlic.
HOW BIG AM I? Sound be measuring about 35cm. Around 6 inches above my belly button.
HOW AM I FEELING? A little stressed. Baby shower is this weekend (I'll be 36 weeks/ 9 months), I haven't packed the hospital bag, house needs to be cleaned... and I need a nap!
HOW IS MY HUBBY FEELING? I think he is getting a little nervous. Like me! He snuggled my belly while he was sleeping one night this week, it was kinda funny, Daxton would kick and Derrick would move a little. It was really cute!
QUESTIONS FOR MY DR?
none
THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK: Baby shower, clean house, pack bags, and take a nap!!! lol
SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WEEK: My precious son. I can't wait to meet you. You are so loved and you haven't even arrived yet!
One of my Sunday School teachers passed away this week, my heart was broken. With everything else going on I got my days mixed up and missed her funeral. I was so upset over that. On Sunday my mom got a call from L.D., Martha's husband, telling her there was a gift at his house for Baby Jones, did she know who it was for? Of course mom said it was for me. Later that day he dropped it by and I picked it up on Monday. She had even signed the card! Martha was more than a Sunday School teacher to me, she had rocked me in the nursery when I was a baby. I was a member of the Rainbow girls and she was one of our leaders. She was also on of the leaders when I was in youth group. She was there when I had Elisabeth. All my life. She was a wonderful woman and heaven is now a little sweeter with her there. I would have definately loved to see her rock Daxton in the nursery same as she did me, same as she did Liz.

HOW BIG AM I? Belly should be measuring around 34 cm
HOW AM I FEELING?Pretty Good. My belly is really tight and i can tell Dax doesn't have much room.

SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WEEK: Dax scared me 2 times this week. Kinda funny. I was laying on my arm and he moved. It felt more like he was out side my body than inside. I jumped because I was dead asleep and it startled me.
