I love being her Momma







It is now safe for me to say that I loved being pregnant and was very happy with her delivery and so far I very much enjoy being momma to Skyla. Now that I said that, I hope she won't steal my money and run off with some boy at 16.

The Hair Model


Here she is modeling the latest in hair fashion. This baby does not need a baby toupee.

Skyla - 1 week old


Only a week old and already a heartbreaker

the Luvbaby has arrived!






February 2nd 2007, on a full moon at 4:42 am, the luvbaby decided to move out of her momma's tummy into bigger digs! After 12 or so hours of labor, Skyla Rose Jones was born at 5:43pm. She weighed 7 lbs 8 ounces and measured 20 inches long. She arrived 3.5 weeks ahead of her due date, and broke my water unexpectedly. We had just celebrated her baby shower 6 days earlier and thought we had at least a month to prepare. Everything happened so fast we had no time to be fearful or hesitant. So we did what we had to do and now we have a baby!

The labor was pretty normal, the recovery swift and it feels like she's lived with us longer than 2.5 weeks! Her coming early meant I spent less time being totally uncomfortable and never really got a chance to waddle. She's currently making up for it by her many poops and spit ups.
