36 weeks today!!!!!
WOW! It seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting, and now we are 4 weeks away from the "inevitable" (as Jon puts it). We are so excited about our upcoming arrival, and we have made nearly all of our preparations.
Jennifer went for a checkup a few days ago, and the doc said all looked great. Jaycie's heartrate was an excellent 154, and Jennifer's vitals were great. No dilation yet, but the babies head is down and in place (just like it is supposed to be!).
We have spent our last two Saturdays learning as much as we can about what we are about to face! During part of our classes, we were given a tour of the hospital and labor and delivery area. It was both extremely overwhelming and very exciting at the same time. It was very obvious to both of us that there was no turning back at this point, and that what we were about to go through would be something that we would never forget!
So Hannah has a very small grasp on what is about to happen. She can say "Jaycie" and she knows she is "Her Sister" (though she doesn't understand what a sister is). She likes to pat Jennifer's belly and give it hugs and kisses. On a side note, she also thinks that Jennifer's breasts have babies in them. We have tried to teach her otherwise, but somehow she insists that she is right. Oh well, I guess we can't expect the mind of a two-year old to grasp such a complex biology lesson!
Well, we will continue to keep everyone updated during these final weeks. There are alot of uncertainties right now, but three things we know for sure is....
1. What goes in must come out
2. What comes out will change our lives forever
3. God is in control

30 weeks and counting....
Well, Jennifer is now 30 1/2 weeks and had her 30 week checkup yesterday. Everything is going well, and there are no signs of any complications. Jaycie's heart rate was 135 yesterday, and she's probably weighing a little over 3 pounds and is about 16 inches now. She's very active, and keeps Jennifer awake at night sometimes. We are so excited about her upcoming arrival, and we just can't wait to see our little girl!!
We have her room painted and her furniture all set up. We have a little bit of decorating left to do, but that's about it. We will post pictures when it is completed. We have all the furniture we need at this point, but we are looking for a bedside bassinet that is used. We figure it's used such a short time that there is no need to buy a new one. If anyone has one that they would be willing to let us use for a few months, let us know!! :) Other than that, we are pretty much set to go.
We will continue to keep you posted as we progress in the pregnancy!! For those who are wanting more information about the delivery, we are planning on deliving at The Women's Hospital of Texas in Houston somewhere around September 5th.

All going well....
Jennifer had her 26 week check up last week, and everything is going very well. The baby's heartbeat was a steady 151 (great number) and the baby measured right on target for its gestational age. Jennifer will be 28 weeks in two days, meaning the beginning of her 3rd trimester. So far so good!!

So the final choice is...
Jaycie Ann Fort!
We are about to start working on her nursery (as soon as her pawpaw moves out of her room!), and here is what we've chosen for the bedding...
We'll post pictures as the work is done.
Love,
Jennifer, Jon, Hannah, and Jaycie

Need help with name spelling...
So we have decided to name our daugther after both of us. Her first name will be after Jon's initials (JC) and her middle name will be the same as Jennifer's middle name (Ann). There are several possible ways to spell her first name, and we have narrowed it down to two that we both agree upon. We want to share these options with you and welcome your feedback as to your preference and why. Thanks!!
Options:
1. Jaycie Ann Fort
2. Jaicey Ann Fort
We will be waiting on your feedback :)

No more guessing! This time we know for sure...that......
WE ARE HAVING A GIRL! That's right, girl #2 for our family. We found out Friday via ultrasound. Jon has no chance in this family of hormone-driven females, and he will most assuredly turn his little girls into Astros and Texans fans. Anyway, so we are now in search of a name for our little one, and we are open to any suggestions. At this point, we are starting completely from scratch (as we had a boys name decided upon, but had not chosen a girls name yet).
Jennifer was 22 weeks pregnant on Friday, so the half-way mark has come and gone. The official due date is Sept. 5th, but we all know that there is a much better chance that it will be born on any other day than that day! We'll keep everyone updated as things continue to unfold.
