Weekend update

How come the weekends go by so fast! 

Friday night Nick and I had a Christmas party at one of the firefighters house that Nick works with. I didn't want to leave the baby and wasn't sure about the weather but I'm so glad we went!

We had a blast and I'm so lucky for the bond between the firemen and the wives! 

Everyone is so friendly and we have a good time when we all get together. 

Saturday my sister was able to walk in her graduation ceremony. She had to take some time off to have her baby and be with her but she was determined to finish and I am so proud of her! 

The weather was bad early in the morning but we were able to have lunch as a family all 11 of us to celebrate! 

Sunday we went to breakfast just the three of us and did some major shopping. We were able to get some Christmas shopping done along with all the groceries we needed. 

We had a busy but great weekend!

Slow down baby boy

As I write this I can't believe our little William is eight weeks! How can that be! How can it be the 8 weeks ago we were blessed with the sweetest most precious baby boy! 

William is:

 

Sleeping through the night from about 9pm to 5 am . We are so very lucky. 

He is eating about 4oz every three hours and growing like a weed! 

He is such a happy and content baby. 

He loves being talked to and gives the biggest smiles! 

He is still sleeping in his rock n play in our room. 

He is taking reflex meds and now has thrush so he is taking medicine for that as well. 

He adores his Daddy when they play.

He loves to lay on his Dads chest 

He loves to cuddle with his Mommy 

He doesn't like tummy time to much but is really good at holding his head up. He has been rolling over for the last two weeks. Slow down baby. 

William is adjusting to Mommy back at work

Mommy is:

All cleared from the doctor

I am feeling much better with being able to do more.

I am getting sleep (thankfully)

Loving life as a Mommy

Crying every time I have to leave for work

Feeling blessed we have great family to help watch our little man 

Being a Mommy

As far as I can remember I have always wanted to be a Mommy. I have spent my whole life around kids and babies. As a child my mom babysat so I was able to get lots of practice. As I got older I babysat as well. Needless to say I knew I could do the taking care of the baby part.  Little did I know my life would change forever. 

Labor is nothing like tv or what I thought it was going to be like. I thought it would be like I would have contractions and my water break then I would head to the hospital. That was definitely not the case. I was 40 weeks and thought baby would be coming any day now not the case. 41 weeks came around and still nothing. So we headed to the doctor to check everything and possibly discuss induction. We talked and it was Thursday and if he didn't come by Sunday we would head to the hospital. Long story short nothing throughout my 42 hours of labor went the way I thought or had planned.

Even though nothing went the way I wanted it was the most rewarding thing I have ever went through. I am so lucky to be this little guys mom and I am loving every minute of it! 

I never could imagine the love I have for this little guy! Although it's hard at times and the first few weeks were crazy it is worth every crazy minute and I can't wait to do it again in the future. 

William 

I  am so thankful for you. You have brought so much joy and love into our life and I am so glad you are mine. You are such a good, easy baby. You are sleeping so well and being so nice to your dad and I. I love the way you are starting to smile and you are trying so hard to talk. I can't wait to help you grow and learn. I look forward to watching you and documenting you as you get older. 

Weekend full of family, turkey and Christmas

This year has been the best holiday season yet! We get to celebrate the holidays with our sweet boy!

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday with my in laws because Nick had to work. It actually worked out really well and it made for an easier holiday. We tried to get together with his dads family but it didn't work out. 

Thursday I loaded up the car and Will and I headed to my parents for the day/night. We enjoyed great company and food. Will slept through it all. 

My cousin Kate and Will! This was her first time meeting him! We were so excited to see her and see her engagement ring and here about her new place and wedding plans. So happy for her! 

My beautiful sister holding him while I take a picture of his outfit.

Friday we ventured out with my parents for a little bit of Black Friday shopping. 

Saturday the whole family got together and we meet at Eckerts to get our Chrissy trees. It's been a family tradition to cut down our Chrismas tree for as long as I can remember, so I am so glad we can continue this tradition with Will. 

The kids

Me, Maggie , Emily, my sister in law Erin, Shawn and Oliver minus my husband( taking the picture) and my brother in law.

Sisters

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 

Sunday was a very lazy day for our little family. We watched Christmas movies and did a little cleaning. It was so nice. That night we met his Dads family and his sister for dinner. 

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! 

Our family of three

It's so crazy to think at this time two weeks ago our sweet William was born! 

I can't even imagine life without him which is so weird considering we have only had him for two weeks!

Things have been crazy with visitors and adjusting to life with a newborn but things are finally settling down. William of course is perfect and doing great! 

Mom on the other hand was sick the last few days but I am doing so much better now. Although our Halloween sucked because it rained and I was miserable we still had our annual party and everyone came and had a great time! 

We are so blessed to have a healthy happy baby! Thankfully Mommy and Daddy are even able to get some sleep throughout the night! Thank you Will!!!

Everyday he seems to grow and change! It makes me sad to think how fast he will grow! 

We are not looking forward to Daddy going back to work in a few days but we will make it through! 

Some of my favorite photos

Sorry for baby overload but hey he is so stinkin cute! 

Month One

One month check up today ...

Weight 9lbs 6 oz 

Length 21.5 

So, how can this be that my little booger butt is one month old!  The time has gone by so quickly. 

William, 

You are an amazing baby. I am thankful for you everyday. I still can't believe we made you and carried you in my belly for almost 42 weeks. Everyday your dad and I talked about what kind of man you would be, what color eyes would you have, what color hair would you have and what would you decide to be when you grow up. We now know the answers to a few of those questions. You have beautiful blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. We can't wait to see how much more we learn about you! 

The first week adjusting to life at home with you was hard. Feeding you was a job in itself and hormones were all over the place. Once everything got adjusted we were golden. Your daddy was amazing while Mommy was recovering and taking it easy while I breast feed you. He was great at learning how to take care of you. You have been such a good baby. Your first week we had to wake you to eat . Silly parents never wake a sleeping baby! Now you go 5-7 hours without waking up. Mommy and Daddy are so grateful for the sleep. You are such a content baby. You can play by yourself or snuggle with whoever is holding you. You eat like a wild man every two hours throughout the day. You love to lay on someone chest on your belly and lift your head up. You love music and car rides. 

I can't wait to see you grow up and getting bigger to learn all the fun things about you. You are my whole world and I can't even imagine life without you! You are my everything and I love you more than you know! 

Your first day

William is one week old

Today I am one week old! I can't believe our baby has been with is a week already! We are so blessed to have a healthy and happy baby boy! 

We took our first outing today to get a few things. Of course he slept the whole trip. It was nice to get out of the house but when we were done Mom was sore and was ready to go home. 

Milestones

I like to eat! Mom feeds me every two to three hours during the day and about every four hours during the night. 

I was born 7lbs 4 oz on Tuesday October 22 and on Friday Oct 25 I weighed 6 lbs 13 oz when I went back to the doctor on Mobday October 28 I weighed 7lbs 6 oz. I am healthy! 

I am very alert for a newborn. I like to be alert in the morning and later in the evening. 

I like to be cuddled with and kissed on! 

Sometimes I smile due to gas but it is so cute! 

My little family of three!!!

Overdue

Today we are officially 40 weeks 4 days! We are headed to the doctor today to se if we have made any changes since last week! Crossing my fingers !!!

40 weeks and so ready to shop for non maternity clothing! 

I think Baby Davis is awfully comfortable in there. Everyone is so ready to meet you please come out soon! 

Our last appointment we were still at a one and we were soft but not thinning. It's a start!!! Baby is still head down and everything looked well ! 

Hopefully the doctor will give us some good news and baby boy will be here soon! 

Come out!!!! Your Mommy is ready to meet you!

27 weeks

40 weeks

A few baby items

 

As I anxiously await something to happen in my body to make me go into labor I thought I would share a few things ! 

I'm so anxious and ready to meet out little man. When we went to the doctor on Friday I was dilated to a one I wanted more progress but at least it is a start. 

How cute is this hat a co worker gave to me. It is pretty awesome she is pretty awesome! 

I am so excited to spend the holidays with our little guy and getting him all dressed up. 

Seriously how cute is this? I die everytome I look at it!

Can you say cutest new born pictures ever! I seriously can't thank Carrie enough for all her generosity and caring. She is such a sweet person!

We did the finishing touched on the nursery and finally finished the babies closet. I'm so impressed and in love with the way everything turned out!

 

Now all we need is for him to make his appearance and meet his mommy and daddy! 

If we go till Friday I'm guessing at our next app we will talk about inducing me . So let's hope in the next few days little man is as excited as we are to meet us! 

Waiting or induction

 Good morning I am officially 39 weeks 3 days!! I can't believe my due date is Friday! 

Lately I have been debating on if he doesn't come on his own when do we say it's ok to induce me. 

Nick and I both want to let him come on his own but I also don't want to be pregnant for 42 weeks! 

I really don't know how I feel about being induced, I hear mixed stories about it. Some people have awesome experiences and some our on labor for hours or days and then end up with a c section. That's just not really the plan I had in mind. I know it's not going to go exactly the way I want it!

I guess we have to continue to run on his time and see what happens! I am just very anxious now at this point to meet him! 

32 WEEKS

I cant believe only 8 more weeks till we met our little man!!!
 8 weeks and today 52 more days till his due date!

On Monday we go to the doctor to get our 34 week ultrasound and let me tell you it will have been 14 weeks since we have seen our little man!!! I can not tell you how excited this makes me feel!!!
I can't wait to see those 10 little toes and 10 little fingers and that cute chubby face.

I have been trying to get some things done in the house and it just seems I can't do as much as I want to when I want to. I know I know I'm eight months pregnant I cant just clean and go and go all day. I am so use to that its hard to adjust.


I have been noticing its harder for me to sleep during the night again. Don't get me wrong its not like I am up for hours throughout the night its just hard to get comfortable. I miss sleeping on my belly.

This past week all I have wanted to do is shop for non maternity clothes. With Fall coming its all I can think about when I am out and about with my mom and sisters. I don't see me fitting into them till after Christmas.... BOO .

I have noticed recently that all of a sudden I get emotional either something really bothers me or I feel bad about something or I miss someone. Its just crazy how quickly it comes on and how strong it is. I don't feel I have been a crazy rollercoaster of emotions during this pregnancy except at the beginning
(my husband may beg to differ) but these feelings are over whelming.

It eases my mind to read other pregnant women's blogs and to know that I am not alone in this!

To my little man:

I love having you safe inside my belly but I am so anxious to meet you. I know I wont be saying this when you are here and I miss all the hard kicks or the foot in my ribs.

I can't wait to see what you look like or who you favor more.

Your Daddy loves it now if he touches my belly or puts his head on it you kick him or move around he just thinks this is the coolest thing ever.

I am so excited that your room is almost done and organized and let me say its just tooooo cute!

I am so in love with you its crazy! Your not even here but you are still my little guy! I am so anxious to hold you and kiss your cute little face.

Thank you for being so nice to your Mommy for the last 8 months it has made my pregnancy enjoyable and special.

I am so lucky to call you my son!

Baby baby baby

So I haven't updated in awhile but last weekend we had our baby shower for our little man! 

We are so incredibly blessed to have amazing friends and family that love us and our little guy so much!  I'll try to update this week with baby shower recap!

This past week has been all about the nursery! Trying to get everything organized and arranged the way we want. 

My mom and Nick putting the crib together! 

                  The finished project! 

Don't mind the tape still on the wall! 

I'm so grateful that I have a crib and a room and all the necessary baby stuff for our little man to come. We still have 8 weeks but makes me feel better knowing if he came early we would be ok. 

Lately I have been feeling blah. I don't know if its just because the bigger I get the more emotional I get, or if its just lack of motivation. I am in a funk of having to start school back up and having a whole new set of preschoolers. Or, might be I'm not sure where I will be or when I can get in my classroom! Yikes! I'm just trying to breathe and not stress. 

I honestly hate this feeling because I have nothing to complain about! I am still having an easy pregnancy, I have a loving family and husband and I have a great job. I am so excited to meet our little guy! 

I think we have decided on a name!!!

 

           Sneak peek of the fabric ! 

28 weeks to 30 weeks! I'm beginning to pop out more and more!!!
