The first 12 weeks or so were filled with immense morning sickness. Exhausting fatigue and food aversions to anything that wasn't fruit. We kept the secret for several of the first weeks. But when we did finally tell our families they were all very excited. Baby J is already loved more than he will ever know.
In January we went to Cancun for our late honeymoon. It was such an amazing vacation! Jay had never seen ocean blue like that and I had never been on a vacation that big with my husband! We spent 8 days and 7 nights at the beautiful Omni Resort in a Presidential Jacuzzi Suite! Every honeymooner's dream! We spent our week snorkeling, exploring a nearby island, shopping, exploring the jungle, and just relaxing on the beach. It was definitely wonderful.
When we returned we had our first big sonogram with our OB. That's when we found out Baby Moore was a little boy! We were so so so excited! Jay has always wanted a son, I've always just wanted to be a mommy, but our families were both eager for their first grandson on either side. We finally decided on a name sweet Jaxon Henry. Jaxon was a name I've always been in love with since I had first watched Steel Magnolias. and the spelling was just for a big change. Henry was my dad and my granddads middle name, and without my last name I figured it might be nice to see a name that had some ancestral ties.
We've had one more sonogram since January and everything seems to be going perfectly. He already has huge feet, and really really long legs...just like his daddy! Now that I'm not battling insane morning sickness it seems like I'm so hungry all the time.. I crave random things, like beef and bean burritos and hot cheetos, concession stand nachos, popcorn, pickles, peanut butter, bacon and jelly sandwiches, anything salty spicy tangy or sweet! No real consistencies there! haha! The last sonogram was my favorite...he was "talking" and sucking his thumb and even waved his little fingers at us! He has already been an unbelievable blessing in our lives! Jay talks to my belly a lot, and I've been feeling lots of little flutters. It's really been an awesome experience!
With the news of a little one on the way, we knew we HAD to find a new place to live.... a one bedroom apartment just was not reasonable for a family of 3.... so we began looking for a ouse a few months ago... nothing to extensive until we got approved about 3 weeks ago, and found the perfect house about a week ago. It's a 3/2 home near Jay's parents in a quiet neighborhood, with a covered back patio and beautiful hardwood floors! Its so quaint and cozy, and the room we are planning for Jaxon's nursery is already the color I had been thinking of painting it! Tell me THAT'S not a God thing! We just signed on it today and will close and move in on April 26, when our lease is up. We are both so thrilled! We have done so much growing up in the past year, and are eager to see where our life will take us! Sorry this is such a long post....lots of catching up needing to be done! Until Next time!
Peace, Love, and Onesies!
This was our final day in Mexico. In front of our gorgeous hotel!
