Little Miss Jones has a name!!!


Hello everyone..........well, we have finally decided on a name for our little girl :) ......


Braelyn Evangelee Jones


We wanted her to have a "family" name and a "spiritual" name. So, the "lyn" in Braelyn comes from Aaron's mom's name which is Kathy Lynn. And the "lee" in Evangelee comes from my middle name "lee", which is also after my grandmother Ervin. I came up with the first name and Aaron came up with the middle name from the name "Evangeline", and had the idea to just change the ending. Evangelee means "bearer of good news" and we are praying that she will be a messenger of God's good news to all those around her.
Sorry for the delayed update.........in this picture I am 34 WEEKS PREGNANT!! WOOHOO!! And feeling good, Praise the Lord!

Baby Shower Marathon!!!

We have been so BLESSED to have such wonderful friends and family showering us with baby gifts for Braelyn! Our first shower was Aug 16th at Mom's house and it was a great time of fellowship with friends and lots of family. Then on Sunday we had a shower at FBC Powell in Knoxville given by Aaron's sister and mom. It was amazing and so encouraging to recieve so many needed items!! God is so good to provide for our every need and we thank Him so much for all of our friends and family who have blessed us in this way. Katy, Mom, Me & Braelyn, Carla. Carla and Katy did such a great job decorating and preparing for this shower, and Mom too! The food was fabulous!!!!!
Gavin, Aaron, Me, Laura & Caryss, Kathy (Aaron's mom). I was so glad they could come!
Here we are at the church shower at Powell. Laura and Kathy did such a great job getting everything together! Everything was delicious, especially the punch! It was a lot of fun getting to see friends and family all weekend.

Baby Bedding & Belly update

Hello everyone, sorry for the delayed update. So, I am very excited because I think I finally found some baby bedding that I like!! You can let me know what you all think about it. I've included several pictures. It is hard to believe that she will be here in about 2 months!! I feel like there is still so much to do and to buy......I'm hoping that my showers will help out with that. I have two showers back in TN on the 16th & 17th. That should be a lot of fun!! I only have a week and a half left of my summer program and then a week of vacation!! woohoo! I am also excited about that. We are still deciding on the name......we think we have it, just going back and forth on spelling, and I think I'm nervous to announce it, because that means it is permanent!! Hope you all have a great week!

Here is my belly shot........can you believe I am 31 weeks pregnant? AHHHHHHH By the way, she is really getting active now, especially in the afternoon and evening. I love feeling her kick!
