If I haven't returned your call I will... We are just starting to get into the routine of things... of course that will probably change but that's besides the point. I'll try to call :)
-Love!

Answered Prayers
I just wanted to share with all of you the several ways in which the Lord has blessed us.
-By being induced on the 14th I now get to spend my entire maternity leave with my son.
-By being induced on the 14th my mom got to spend her whole vacation with Harrison.
-My delivery doctor was great and so was the first nurse Kelly. The final nurse was debatable but hey, Harrison is here!
-We got the biggest delivery room with a view because it wasn't a busy day and that was our nurse's favorite room.
-Kaiser has a GREAT system!
- St. Joe's was fabulous!
-My mom and our friends have been cooking the best meals. We have NEVER eaten so well day after day.
-Life has slowed down and has great meaning.
-We love being a family! Our hearts have grown.
-The Kaiser nurse in home visit is such a great thing!
-He fits his name perfectly!
- We are now going on three days with a son who loves sleeping at night. Once fed he goes right back to sleep. We have gotten 6 hours... broken up... each night. That's a blessing!
-We love him, we love him, we love him!!!!!!
Here are more pictures:

Harrison Andrew Jones - Sept. 14th 2009
Well, we are finally home from the hospital and able to get some pictures up on the blog, so enjoy and thank you for all your prayers and support!
We will write more later once we get settled.
10 minutes old... and 20.5 inches long
His first teddy bear from Grandma Connie.
Getting ready for home.
He's a bit small for his crib so we'll keep him in the bassinet for a little while.

The final days...
Only a few weeks left!
The due date is the 15th (a week and a day) so he could come now or he could come a few weeks from now.
There have been a few fun things. Let me share those first.
Nathan is getting better and better at painting toe nails, mine that is.
Several of my friends have had dreams about me having the baby. None of them have been bad dreams so that's good!
Everyone is highly anticipating us revealing his name which is fun.
Our bags are completely packed and on Saturday our car seat was checked to make sure it was properly installed.
The Doctor has said I'm progressing which is good.
Everyone has been super caring and helpful.
So here's the not so fun part... I'm super exhausted! I'm getting a ton of sleep and rest yet I still feel exhausted. Yes, I work all day but when I come home I take a nap, eat dinner, read and then head to bead at about 9. So, I'm sleeping a lot but I still feel extremely tired.
I think I'm now ready for a change. I think now it's just hard to be tired and working. I'm looking forward to 12 weeks of maternity leave. We are fully aware that kids take a lot of energy so 12 weeks will probably not be long enough but at least I get that. My leave starts on Friday so I hope he doesn't come too late, that way I get the whole 12 weeks with him.
Please pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby boy. Also, we would really prefer that he come on his own and that I don't have to be induced so please pray for that as well.
Love you all!
Here are pictures that I'm only posting b/c some of you have been requesting it.
