30 weeks and 3 days pregnant

30 weeks and 3 days and counting down.  I really feel much bigger this week.  I think from here on out I have entered the not so cute part of pregnancy.  I go for a check up this Thursday and will post a blog after that.  Other than growing every day and horrible indigestion, I feel really good.  No swelling so far....cross my fingers!!  

Blog Face Lift

I am still not completely satisfied with my blog "look"...but after several hours of navigating through the system I have decided to stick with this background (at least for now).  I am sure that once the baby comes it will be easier to make posts and add pictures.  Just to keep you up to date, I am 30 weeks and a couple of days pregnant and feeling great.  I tried to take pics of the belly tonight, but our camera needs to be charged.  I hope to snap some pics this week.  Also, soon to come are pictures of the baby room!!!

Lake Charles Baby Shower 10-18-08

This weekend I traveled down to Lake Charles, LA for my first baby shower.  I had an amazing time and received so many wonderful gifts.  The shower went by so fast; I feel like all I did was open presents.  I want to thank all of those that helped host the shower!!!  It was a great success and a weekend I'll always treasure.  While I was busy down south, Phillips was enjoying a relaxing weekend in the Arkansas mountains.  He broke away to go fly fishing with one of his buddies.  Needless to say we met back up Sunday night in Jackson and began unloading all of the wonderful goodies.  My SUV was so packed that you could not see out of any windows but the front.  Right now everything is on the floor in Isabel's room to be, and I am very anxious to get in there and start organizing!!  Thanks again for everyone that made this weekend so special. For more pics go to the picasa web link.

28 weeks pregnant

The count down begins with 12 weeks left....delivering full term.  I thought I would begin to post pics of the growing belly.  This is the first of many to come.  Stay tuned for more pics and updates.

Our Trip to Ireland

We just recently took a vacation to Ireland in August 2008.  This is of us over looking the cliffs on the West coast.  To see more pictures of Ireland, visit our picasa web link.  www.picasaweb.google.com/phillipsjenkins/Ireland.

Welcome

Welcome to our family blog.  I thought that this would be a great way for close friends and family to keep in touch and stay up to date with the latest happenings on the Jenkins journey.  Phillips and I are proud to announce that we are expecting a baby girl, and we anxiously await the new addition to our family, Isabel Rose Jenkins. Other than working and baby planning, we are trying to savor every moment of peace and quiet that we can; for we are well aware that those days will soon be over and filled with the much loved coos and cries of a baby.  Mom tells me that I need to sleep every chance I get, and that is exactly what I have been doing.  Phillips and I will keep you posted with the latest events in our lives, and we will certainly have a new webpage once Isabel arrives.
