My Work Shower

Some of the girls that I work with had a Baby shower for Me and another one of my Co- Workers Tara Johnson on Saturday April 16th! It was very nice of them to do this for us! Mine and Tara's due dates are only four days apart! Its been fun to get to experience this pregnancy right along with someone else! They had the shower at Mimi's Cafe. The food was excellent and so was the company. I appreciate them having this shower for us! We got a lot of cute things for Baby Dawson! Here is a pictures from the shower.

Couples Baby Shower

Saturday April 9th Some of our wonderful friends had a Couples Baby Shower for us at Carey and Erin Antoon's Home! It was a amazing shower! The decorations were adorable! We had such a good time. It was a lot of fun for Phillip to get to participate in a Baby Shower for our Son. The Shower was hosted by Cary and Erin Antoon, Hunter and Brittney Carrington, Matt Davis and Jessica Stuetelberg, Mike and Rachel Hibbs, Matt Reibe and Elizabeth Smith, and Lacey Harris! These are some of our closest friends and we really enjoyed getting to share this special time with all of them! They went above and beyond on the decorations! Everything looked so cute! They chose a Rustic theme. It was absolutely precious! The food was also wonderful! They really out did themselves! We are so fortunate to have such special friends in our life! Thanks Again to all of you who helped with the Shower it was amazing! Here are some pictures!

4D Ultrasound

I'm 28 weeks pregnant today! We had our 4D Ultrasound this morning at Baby Views! It was amazing!!!! I enjoy anytime that I get to see the little guy! The ultrasound tech said that everything looked great! He weighed 3lbs and was about 15 inches long. The ultrasound tech predicted that if he continues to grow at this same rate that he would be about 8lb 7oz at my due date! He is breech right now which I was a little sad about but the tech reassured me that he still has plenty of time to turn! We shall see! I've heard people say before that breech babies just like to be close to mommy's heart! He was very content this morning in his little spot. He did not want to wake up for us! He kept his left arm over his head in front of his face most of the time. Phillip is hoping that he will be a lefty! My brother said he thinks he will be the next Babe Ruth! Everyone is so excited! It looks like he may have inherited the famous Ezell nose! It also looked like he had some chubby cheeks which I loved! My mom and mother-in-law both got to go with us this morning! They were both really excited to get to see him! We are looking forward to when we actually get to see him in person! We have our first baby shower this weekend! We are really excited! Here are some of our pictures from our Ultrasound this morning! Enjoy!

 You can see his right foot in the top of the picture! It didn't look like a very comfortable position but he seemed to like it!

                                                        Such a precious little face!!!1

 He lowered his left arm for just a minute and she got a profile picture! That is his right foot that he had up next to his forehead most of the ultrasound!

 With him being breech right now my Umbilical cord is hanging in front of his face! It didn't seem to bother him a bit! He actually even started sucking on it at one point! Pretty Gross but whatever he wants I guess!

23 Weeks Pregnant

I was 23 weeks this past Thursday! Besides our little scare this past week everything has been going good! We are getting really excited about getting Dawson's nursery ready. We have decided on his crib bedding. I'm ordering it from Polka Tot designs. They make custom crib bedding. I'm really excited about it. It took me a really long time to make a decision. Here is a picture. It's obviously going to say Dawson instead of Crew.

We have also purchased the furniture for his nursery. We bought all the furniture at Kids Furniture. I love it! We decided to go with black. We ordered a crib, dresser, hutch and Glider. They had to order the furniture it should all arrive toward the middle or end of March. We also bought his Bassinet. We already have it set up in our bedroom. It makes me so ready for Dawson to get here! Here is a picture of the bassinet.

We are going to look at paint today so we can go ahead and get the nursery painted before all the furniture arrives. We also registered yesterday. That was a lot of fun. We registered at Baby R Us and The Toggery. We are going to register at Target today. Time is flying by so fast. We are going to have our first baby shower on April 9th! I can't wait! I will leave you with a picture of my growing belly! Dawson has really started growing! My doctor even referred to him as "chubby" the other day when I was in the ER. I love it!

Trip to the Hospital

We had little scare this week! They thought that I had a seizure while I was at work on Wednesday. I was having a normal day at work. I was feeling like my normal self. About 11:00 I started to feel very nauseated. I got up to go get some crackers and a sprite. I couldn't make it down the hallway. I started to feel very dizzy and to see dots. I got the attention of another nurse and she sat me down in a chair. The last thing I remember was telling them that I felt like I was going to pass out. When I woke back up there were 10 people standing around me. They all started asking me if I had ever had a seizure before. I said, "NO WHY?" The nurse looked at me and said well we are pretty sure you just had one. They said that my eyes rolled back in my head and I started having convulsions. They called my OB and she said to take me to the Baptist ER immediately. They also called Phillip and asked him to come up to my work. He was a nervous wreck. He beat me to the ER at Children's. By the time they got me down there he was waiting on me. He took me to the Baptist ER. They ran a lot of test. I was so worried about Dawson. I just kept asking them to please do an Ultrasound and make sure he was ok. They just kept telling me that they needed to make sure that I was ok first. They did an EKG and CT scan that both came back normal. All of my blood work looked normal. Then a labor and delivery nurse came to assess me. We got to hear Dawson's heart beat which was so reassuring! His heart beat was strong and steady! I also had an Ultrasound done just to make sure everything was ok. Dawson looked great! He was kicking around like nothing had ever even happened. He is measuring 24wks which is a week ahead of what I actually am. They estimated that he weighs approximately 1 lb 8oz! I was so very relieved to know that everything was good with him. But the ER doctor and my OB decided that they wanted to keep me over night to monitor Dawson and me. They also wanted me to meet with a Neurologist to determine if  he thinks that I did have a seizure. I was pretty sad that I had to spend the night. I was exhausted from being in the ER for six hours and being transported from test to test and I was pretty nervous that they wanted to watch me over night. It made me think that they thought something was really wrong. We finally got to our room around 6:45 Wednesday night. They gave me an Ambien to help me sleep but I don't think either one of us slept very well. Around 8:00 the next morning they took me for an EEG to take a better look at my brain. Right before the EEG I had another episode. I felt the exact same way that I had the previous day before I passed out. I felt so bad because Phillip was in the room with me and I did not want him to have to see me like that. I knew that he would be scared for life if he saw his wife laying on the examine table convulsing. But thankfully I did not pass out this time. After the EEG was complete they rushed me back to the Labor and Delivery floor and actually moved me to a room that was closer to the nurses station so they could monitor us more closely. I was pretty shook up after this episode because I was really hoping that this would be a one time thing. We were told that the Neurologist would be around soon to let us know the results of the test. It was a long day! We didn't see the Neurologist until 3:00 Thursday afternoon. He did a neurological examine on me and decided that he does not think that I had a seizure. My EEG was normal. He said that sometimes when you pass out you can have symptoms like a seizure because your brain is without oxygen. I was out for about 30 seconds which is a long time when you are staring at someone who is convulsing. He diagnosed me with pregnancy induced syncope. He thinks that I might have been a little dehydrated and that I stood up to quickly and my blood pressure could not adjust. We were so relived to know that I did not have a seizure. I still have to be very careful about not moving around too fast especially going from sitting to standing.  We were discharged home about 5:30 Thursday evening. Phillip stayed home with me again today to make sure that I am taking it easy. He has been absolutely wonderful. I can't imagine going through all of this without him. We don't have any plans this weekend. We are just going to take it easy and get some rest. Thanks so much for all of the text and calls these past couple of days. We appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers. We also enjoyed everyone's company that came to visit us at the hospital. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. Here's a picture of me at the hospital. Phillip thought we needed to document our little trip.

20 Weeks Pregnant

I'm 20 weeks today! Half way there! I can't believe it! It has seriously flown by! Since I just updated last week not a whole lot has changed! I did tell Phillip that our little guy was moving around like crazy yesterday morning while I was working! This is really the first time I have been able to really feel him moving during the day! He may have been able to sense all the craziness that was happening at the hospital! As soon as the snow started falling the atmosphere completely changed. Everyone goes into panic mode! Patient families and co-workers all worried about how we were going to make it home! Thankfully my wonderful Husband dropped me off and picked me up! We made it home safely! Having a vehicle with 4WD is a life saver! I do have one Surprise Announcement! Phillip and I have decided on a name! This has been Phillip's #1 pick the whole time. I love the name but it took me so time to say OK let's do it! I'm not very good at making decisions. We have decided to name our son:

                   Dawson Gregory Davis

Dawson- son of David.

Gregory- is a family name. Gregory is my brother Landon's middle name. Phillip and I love the idea of family names. I can't even begin to explain the excitment of my dad and brother that we are having a little boy. Landon keeps saying that we need some more boys in our family. He currently has three sisters and three nieces.

Davis- son of David.

Hope everyone is staying warm in all this snow!!! I go back to the doctor on February 24th! I'll post again then!

19 Weeks Today!

I'm 19 weeks Pregnant today! We had our Ultrasound this morning! Our little guy is still looking great! He's growing wonderfully! He is 12 oz  and 5 1/2 inch long crown to rump. I have a feeling we are gonna have a big baby boy! But that's perfectly fine with me as long as he's healthy!

Movement: I have started feeling him move! Its absolutely amazing and so reassuring! I don't feel him very much during the day but when I get in bed at night I feel him moving around. He was very active during our ultrasound this morning! I can't wait until Phillip gets to feel him move!

Feeling: I'm still feeling great! My energy level is still up. I'm getting really excited about planning his nursery. I can't wait to start shopping for baby furniture, bedding and cute decorations. I've had a little bit of lower back pain but nothing too bad. I purchased a body pillow from Baby R Us and it has seemed to really help with the pain.

Food: I haven't really had any craving yet. I enjoy the same foods I always have! I'm eating good and our little guy is growing great!

Gifts: I got to see Jessica last weekend and she brought Baby Davis the sweetest little outfits! It was so good to get to see her. The little outfits she got him are from Baby Gap. I can't wait for him to wear all of them!

Also, at our Gender Reveal Party My Aunt Teresa gave us some really cute Razorback shoes and my Cousin Megan gave us some cute Blue Boots!

I got to spend some good quality time with my parents and Nanaw last weekend. I enjoy getting to spend time with all of them. Phillip went Duck hunting with his Dad. While I was in Conway my mom and I did a little shopping. She had a knee replacement about three weeks ago and hasn't really been able to get out much but we went shopping a little last weekend. This is something that I've really missed because its something my mom and I have enjoyed doing together for a long time. I know she's dying to get out and buy things for our little one. She bought me a baby book on Saturday from Trendy Kidz in Conway. I love it! It's really cute and has a lot of good pages in it. I've already started filling it out!

She also got us these cute little socks!

I made a little purchase this week. I found the cutest stuffed animal in the gift shop at Arkansas Children's Hospital. I just couldn't resist! I had to buy it! It will be so cute in our little boy's nursery!
