Jackson Bryant Lowery

Well, a lot has changed since our last post...the biggest thing being the birth of our son, Jackson Bryant Lowery on July 8th, 2007. (Has it already been 3 weeks?!). He weighed in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces, though he weighs well over 8 pounds now, and was 20.5 inches long. We are so thankful for his safe arrival and are enjoying getting to know each other.

We still don't have Internet at home so our post will still be a bit hit or miss until we can get that all set up...please be patient!

Here are some pictures of our new family and the little one! He has already changed so much from these pictures so I will have to load some more soon! Enjoy!

36 Weeks, 4 Days

Well...just to update everyone out there....

We went to the doctor today and everything looks good. She said the baby is starting to move down and "things are starting to happen." I am measuring right at 37 weeks and the baby is around 6 lbs right now...so far, so good!

We are very ready for this little guy to join us. I (Sara) am having a hard time sleeping at night now...I have heard from numerous people that this is God preparing you...so we will see! :)

We finally got a new camera last week and have enjoyed playing with it...so we should have lots of pictures to post once the time comes!!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

34 Weeks, 4 Days

Thought you all might like to see some of the pictures from our 3D/4D ultrasound we had done yesterday. He has some BIG cheeks! :)



Everything seems to be progressing well. I (Sara) am home now getting things ready, which has been a nice change of pace. We are very ready to meet this little guys, especially now that we have seen his "picture!" :)

Check out these cheeks!!

This is is foot in his face, he kept kicking himself in the head :)

31 Weeks, 2 Days

Just wanted to post this belly shot for you all. I stole it from Katheryn Morgan's facebook. It's at the family shower this weekend. I was right at 31 weeks...I still have 9 more weeks to go until my due date!! I don't even want to think about how big I am going to be!

30 Weeks, 4 Days

Sorry it has been so long since I posted! Life has been crazy around here! We are busy getting everything ready and time is flying!

I (Sara) am done with work at the end of this month, which will give me about a month to get everything ready for the baby and get some extra rest. I am getting bigger and bigger as the days go by. Most of my maternity tops are getting too tight around my belly now so I guess I need to go shopping again (maybe in Jon's closet?).

Jon is working hard to get the house and yard ready for July and it is all coming along rather well. We had a nice trip to the beach a few weeks back with the Lowery/Van Gorden side of the family. We got a chance to really relax and not HAVE to be anywhere...so nice!

We do have new pictures to post but since we don't have Internet access at home, we will have to get them up from somewhere else. Hopefully soon! Love to all!

25 weeks, 5 Days

Well to update everyone on recent events, I have started having VERY SLIGHT contractions. It's enough for the doctor to tell me that if I feel them again to come in right away, but not enough to limit my activity (besides the advice to take it easy and drink ridiculous amounts of water).

I feel like I am getting larger everyday. In fact, the pictures below are from 2 weeks ago and I am bigger than that now! I guess I will have to take some more soon.

The baby is moving all the time now, which is usually fun....though not so much when he flips around at night! :)

My belly at 23 weeks...so much bigger now! :)

Up close of the belly...

24 Weeks, 3 Days

Well, I guess it's about time to update everyone on our progress! Things are moving along rather quickly now. I feel like my belly is larger everyday! (By the way, pictures to come soon...they are on the camera and I just need to load them up). We went to the doctor on Monday and she said that everything looked good. I have gained a total of 13 lbs so far, which she said was good....it still freaks me out to see the number getting so high on the scale though! :)

The baby is moving around all the time now. He is very active in the late afternoon and when I go to bed. Since he likes to move so much a bedtime (and since he getting so big) sleeping has become somewhat of a challenge, but I guess that doesn't really go away for a while now!

Jon has started work on the nursery/house in preparation for the baby's arrival. He has pulled up carpet, is about to put down toe board (or something like that) and start painting. It has all started to seem very real recently and we realize we have quite a bit to do before July 15th!

Pictures to come soon....promise!
