I'm Alive!

So I was reminded the other day that it has been FOREVER since I've updated the blog. Truth be told, I didn't want to just complain the whole time. But where have I been?


I've spent A LOT of time hugging one of these... Guys, this pregnancy has been oh-so-different. I kept thinking it was going to get better, and now at 16 weeks, it finally has started to. I was sick alllll day long and allllll night long. I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and got severely dehydrated. They put me in the hospital for a night to get IV fluids and rest. I took Zofran. It helped a little. My weight loss is now up to 11 pounds for the pregnancy. But y'all, it's coming from somewhere else because my belly is really starting to grow. It's rounding out too. In other words, it's actually starting to resemble a pregnancy belly and not someone who just needs to lay off the dessert. We had a sonogram the other day that suggested the sex of the baby but couldn't be definitive, so until the next one, we aren't sharing but stay tuned because on June 7th, we will have a confirmation and be shouting it at the tops of our lungs.

As far as Stephen and Will are concerned, they have been good. Stephen has been busy as usual getting the summer plans for the youth group finalized and things of that sort. Stephen and Will have spent a lot of time together, and Will has turned into a little Daddy's boy. I don't mind. I know deep down he's really still a Mommy's boy... haha. Just kidding. But Stephen really truly has stepped up to the plate and been such a good husband and father the past few weeks. Fed Will almost every meal when it was just the two of us. Changed pretty much every diaper when it was just the two of us. Done laundry and dishes when they got so behind he had no clean boxers or plates... And he brought me breakfast in bed every morning. I could on and on and on about just how wonderful he is. Will is just developing and growing so fast. We took away paci except for at night. For the most part Will has handled this well. Mom says Will is really like a 2nd child in a lot of ways because he spends so much time with Kalon. He's so advanced in his physical abilities... now if only we could get him talking more. That paci really hindered us.

This month is going to be super busy. Stephen's parents are coming for a visit, we are moving to a new house, and we are going on a beach vacation... so stay tuned for updates on that and what little Baby Davis is!!
