Malorie Elizabeth Davis

She's here!!! Malorie Elizabeth Davis was born on Monday, January 25th, 2010 at 10:31am. She weighed 7lbs and 12oz and 19 inches long :) She's so sweet and cuddly! We are really enjoying her! Here are a few pics - Enjoy!

Getting Induced!!!!

Well we finally have a date!!! I will be induced on Monday, January 25th, 2010! I'm so ready to meet this little girl. The dr was pretty surprised to see me at my appt on Tuesday. I have made progress and it looks like when she does come it will not take long (crossing fingers). Stay tuned! 4 days and counting!!!!

We made it to 36 weeks!

And now I'm wondering after all of the "is she coming or isn't she coming" if I'll get to the last week of January and have to be induced! But, either way we are in the clear and she is free to come at anytime! I'm getting more uncomfortable by the day! We are all ready for her to be here but I think I can say that I'm most ready.. or so is my body at least :)

Caden can't wait to meet his little sister. He has a bear that looks just like his bear that he plans to give to Malorie. He keeps asking me when we can go to the hostipital (the way he says it) to get Malorie so he can bring her bear and give it to her! So cute!

I saw the dr today, I'm seeing her every week from now until the baby is born. She said progress is happening and she really doesn't expect me to make it much longer.. But, I have heard that before. I'll believe it when it happens. Stay tuned for the latest on her arrival and the progress getting there!

35 weeks and she's trying to arrive!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday! It's starting to look like Malorie is making strides to be born earlier then she needs to be!! I spent last Tuesday in the hospital on meds to try and stop contracts and last night I spent in the hospital until 5am trying to stop early labor. They gave me every medication under the sun and the contractions just kept coming. Finally they said we have done all we can and sent me home with a prescription that is supposed to help slow down the onset of early labor. So far so good today, but looks like it wont be much longer now.

BP looks good and her weight is over 5lbs so they aren't too concerend if she wants to come early at this point. They feel confident that she will be healthy enough should it come to that. My poor body has been totally inhabited!! I'm not sure how much bigger I can get before it just gives up :)

Keep praying I can keep her in for at least 2 more weeks!!

5 Weeks Left!

Well really 6 based on my due date but because of previous blood pressure problems they plan to induce a week early. I can't believe it!! Time has really flown by for us! It was like yesterday when I finally realized I was even pregnant.

We have been getting things ready for Miss Malorie to arrive. The room is ready, her clothes are ready, bags are packed.. Yes, I'm a very overly prepared, overly organized OCD individual :) That's not a bad thing right ;)

Caden seems to be understanding what's going on to some degree. I can tell because he starting to act out in ways he never has before. I think he sees how much we are putting into preparing for Malorie to arrive and plus I haven't been as involved with him as much as I used to be just because the bigger I get the harder it is to chase after him. But, I think all in all things will work out just fine and he will love her as much as we do!

We are ready for Christmas to come and for the new year to be here!! This year is definitely going to be a year of "new things" starting with Malorie's arrival!! We can't wait! Here are a few photos from when I was 31 weeks along.. as well as Malorie's room.

Crazy Month...

Well this past month has been really crazy.. I still need to post a few soccer pics, but for now I do have another belly pic for those of you that were wanting to see an update (26 weeks counting down and 14 weeks left - one more week until I'm in my 3rd trimester). For those that don't know.. our baby girls name is Malorie Elizabeth Davis. We are anticipating her arrival!

Also, my grandmother passed away on October 9th from a hemorrhagic stroke. It's been a difficult month for us, as we all love and miss her very much. I'm truly thankful to have been the last one to have spent some quality time with her. As well as giving her time to spend with Caden, which she always enjoyed. I will miss her dearly, although I know she is in a better place.

He's growing up :(

Wow.. It's so hard for me to believe that Caden is 3 1/2. It seems like just yesterday that he was born. Trust me I remember those labor pains :) Just lately he's gone from toddler little boy over night. I'm happy but I'm also sad to see how quickly those years passed me by. I guess that's why people have more then one kid - myself included. On top of starting school, he starts soccer tomorrow! I will officially be a soccer Mom tomorrow and I couldn't be happier! He has also gone from 3 to 13 over night. The other day I was on my way out the door and he said "Mom, give me a kiss and hug, ok now be careful!" Whose the parent here ;) He's also started telling me that he knows what he's doing - apparently I'm not getting it heheh! All in all he's turned it to the sweetest, smartest, loving little boy I have ever known. Of course I'm his mother and I'm going to think that. He's going to be the best big brother, I just know it! I'm really looking forward to watching him interact with his little sister soon. He has been putting his head on my belly and talking to his sister. He comes and pats my belly and asks me if I'm ok. I just hope this continue's on through high school... Those are the years that I'm dreading already!

The 5th of October is mine and Michaels 7 year wedding anniversary! Crazy how time flies! Seven years of marriage, one child and one on the way. All seems right in the Davis house hold :)
Tomorrow we plan to go to Caden's first soccer game and then take him out to celebrate afterwards. Then come home and Michael and I will leave for a few hours alone for our anniversary. Hopefully all goes as planned :) I'll post pics later this weekend!
