In loving memory

Tonight we had a memorial for my nephew, Jaron Truth Salinas who was born silent on May 17, 2012. It was a beautiful memorial service. The music was beautiful and the message was as well. You may wonder what Jaron Truth means, but before I get into the story of that, let me give you a little background on our son's name and the meaning of his name.

Before Brady and I decided we wanted to try for children, we already had names picked out. We chose Jayden Kent for many reasons. Jay is my dad's name, and we wanted to incorporate his name into our son's name. Kent is Brady's and his dad's middle name, so we wanted to carry on the tradition. One day, shortly after we found out we were having a boy, I decided to go see what his name meant. Jayden means "God has heard." I sat there questioning and thinking to myself "what specifically has God heard?"

Shortly after we found out the sex of our child, we then found out that my sisters baby (sex unknown at the time) was not going to grow up with all of his/her siblings. When he was born silently on May 17th, they found out he was a boy. By this time, they had picked out names. So when they went with Jaron Truth, I thought "oh that's a beautiful name." I hadn't put the 2 names together until just recently.

I couldn't for the life of me remember what my own son's name meant, so I decided to go look it up once again. After confirming the meaning, the light bulb went off in my head. I finally understood what God had heard! Jaron's name means "He's singing Truth" and I firmly believe that God had heard that he's singing truth!!!! He knew all along that not only would both boy's names start with a "J", but that the meaning of their names would go hand in hand. It fit perfectly together, like a puzzle..handcrafted by God himself.

Please continue to keep my sister, Christine and her family in your prayers. Although Jaron is singing praises to the Lord right now, we all still miss him here on Earth.

Have a wonderful evening and until next time, God Bless You.

By the way, Jayden & mommy are doing great! 20 weeks & 4 days along! He's a complete blessing in our lives and we wouldn't trade him for the world!!

It's a Boy!!

Thank heaven for little boys! We have been extremely blessed through this entire journey and the icing on the cake today was that we found out we will be having a little Brady running around! We already decided on the name: Jayden Kent. We're beaming and so very happy!

ONE DAY AWAY!!

I was looking in the mirror the other day...wondering to myself why in the world people (women in particular) say the things they do about other women. According to random women I've met for the FIRST time like to ask me all sorts of questions as to why "I'm so BIG!" Must I explain my answer to them?! No...instead I just tend to keep my mouth shut...BUT I can't keep it shut anymore! It's becoming more and more apparent that women were not brought up the same way I was! Or they just don't care...

Last night my husband & I were at my sister's church participating in the Seder. We had followed my sister to the nursery to get my youngest nephew & niece. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but my sister & I were talking about how far along we were. We said "We're 14 weeks" the lady didn't understand why we were saying it in weeks. So we broke it down for her and said "We're about 3 1/2 months" As soon as I said that, the lady freaked and said "WWWHHHAAAT???? You're 3 1/2 months?! Wow!!" (Basically implying that my stomach was bigger than it probably should be) 

It doesn't bother me that people think I'm bigger than what "I should be", what bothers me is that they don't need to voice their opinions every time I tell them how far along I am. 

So next time you look in the mirror and wonder what you could do to change something about you...don't wonder, because the women who talk bad about you are the ones that are jealous of you! 

Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Easter! 

14 Weeks!!!

I'm 14 weeks today!! Officially in my 2nd trimester! Baby D has lots going on this week! Baby D can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb! His/her kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he/she measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he/she weighs 1 1/2 ounces. ♥

 We find out in 6 weeks whether we'll have a baby Chloe or a baby Jayden ;)

 

30 weeks left!! (or so)

Sorry it's been awhile y'all! Well if you haven't heard, my Sister's due date actually changed from October 12th to October 4th! This means she is now due 3 days after me!!

3/4/12

 

My belly is still growing, getting harder & no longer can suck in! (LOL)

I promise I'll post more pics soon! Also we move into our house at the end of this month!!! Have we started packing yet? No! Come help!!
