He's the Boss

Davis is doing so great and I really have no complaints. Of course, I miss my sleep, but then when I go into his room at night and see his little face, I can't possibly be too upset. He's the sweetest thing ever. But, we are still on his schedule it seems, so he's the boss. I'm trying really hard to get him to eat every 3 hours. It's working pretty well, but it's still hard at times. During the night is a different story. Last night, he actually woke up at 1am and 4am, sleeping 3 hours between every feeding. I'm hoping for 4 hours in between, but this isn't so bad. I'm so in love with him that I really hate when the days end. I can't wait until the next morning when I can see his little face.

We had his two week checkup yesterday and everything is going great! He's gained his birth weight and then some, so atleast I know he's eating enough food. I had been a little concerned with a few red bumps that have appeared on him and come to find out that it's baby acne. These and his little red nose spot will go away probably within the month.

After Davis' second night of being at home, he is already sleeping in his own room. He does not like the bassinet that we have in our room at all and prefers his crib. I just say that's because I had all the mattresses out on the floor in Target and was trying them for myself. Today has been my first day at home completely alone with him and so far, so good. We were able to go on a good 3 mile walk this morning...thank goodness. I've actually been able to get some stuff done around the house and take a nap. Hopefully this is a good sign! *crossing fingers* And I also really can't wait until we go and take pictures with him. I think we are going to wait until next month, but now all of a sudden, that seems so far away. He's changing so much already! I don't want him to get big. He's so sweet and cute like this that thinking of him getting bigger makes me sad already. Lord, I know. Michael and I were actually able to go out to eat last night which felt like we should get a medal or something. Haha. It is really weird not having him at home with me. I really don't think I would be doing so great today if he hadn't helped me out so much when he was here. He is so wonderful. One night he even surprised me with a candlelight dinner at home. It was fantastic...especially with my hair sticking straight up and bags down to my chin! :)I am so blessed and love the life that we have all made together. I am so excited to have Davis in my life!

I Am Soooo in Love!

Yesterday, Davis was one week old. It's already been a week and I'm already not wanting him to get bigger. Maybe I'll try an old ancient thought and put bricks on his feet and head and keep him the same size forever. Yes people...I'm kidding! haha He is the cutest, sweetest thing I've ever seen in my life. Besides being over the top, massively sleep deprived, I love every single minute of it. I seriously can not imagine my life with out him. I feel like I have the missing piece that I didn't even know was missing. Last night was actually quite smooth. Although, maybe I shouldn't talk about it as not to jinx it! But Michael and I started early to put him to bed around 8:30. We gave him a sponge bath, which seems to calm him down a little bit. I fed him while Michael read Davis a book. I swear, I think there is something about his voice that must soothe and relax Davis because he always seems to eat more and is pretty much sedated. He actually slept from 9 until almost 1am. We actually got some sleep last night because he was sleeping in almost 4 hour incriments. Okay, that's it. I'm probably in for it tonight.
It is so hard for me to put him down. He warms my heart with every coo, smile, and everything he does. He purses his lips and makes little monkey faces which I am just in love with! I love looking into eyes....when they are open that is. Right now they are a dark blue color and are just beautiful! More than likely, they will change in a few months, but if they don't, I won't complain! I love being a mom and can't imagine my life without him. It's amazing. Now, I'll just pray for sleep!

Life is so rough!

A Few Early Pics of My Little Monkey :)

These are only three pics from right after Davis was born. The last one was yesterday after, 4 days old. His little nose is still red like Rudolph and is too cute. I am so over the top in love with him. Even though I'm completely sleep deprived, this is the best feeling in the world. I LOVE being a mom. I've never been happier. I'm sure we'll be taking new pictures today :)


I am so blessed.

Last Pre-Davis Post!

Wow! Tomorrow I'll be a mommy. I feel like I'm in a total surreal state right now and I'm not too sure what I'm doing. We had our last doctor's appointment this morning and everything is still as scheduled. Arrive at the hospital in the morning at 5a.m. UG!! But I'm sure knowing me, it's not like I'll be sleeping too much anyway, awake with anticipation. I feel like a kid at Christmas time right now. Yesterday was a little hard for me actually. I had a flood of emotions that took over and just completely had a meltdown for a little bit. One minute, Michael is massaging my pinched nerve in my back and the next minute, I run into the bathroom trying to hold back my tears. Michael came in to hold me and I just told him I'm getting so scared...I'm so nervous. Thank goodness he was with me, otherwise I think I would have spent the day crying. He has such an amazing way of calming me down. I can't even begin to explain everything that I was thinking yesterday. Thoughts of, 'my goodness, this is going to be painful!' and wondering how things will change between Michael and I. Not knowing and not having any control over a situation is so hard for me, I'll admit! At the same time, it's exciting not knowing too. I can't wait to see his little face, wondering how he'll look like Michael and I. It excites me and fascinates me knowing we created this life together. I'm going to be a mom, I'm going to be a mom! For some reason, it's still shocking for me, even though I've had plenty of time to let this thought sink in. I can't wait for my life to change for the better and I am so extactic for this. Happy early birthday my little Davis. I can't wait to meet you tomorrow! I love you!

Wordless Wednesday....My Love

The love of my life, my wonderful husband, my best friend, and soon to be father of our new little one. I couldn't imagine life without him. Always An Adventure :)
