1 Month!

At 1 month...

• Aubrey weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces 
• She was 22 inches long
• She was still in newborn diapers 
• She was still in newborn clothes.

Since then, Aubrey is now in size one diapers and wearing 0-3 months, even though some of her newborn still fits. She is growing like a weed and eating anywhere between 3-4 ounces at a time. I will post more and pictures when I get the chance...things have been so busy with the holidays just around the corner! (Hint, that explains why this is TWO weeks late!) May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Aubrey's Birth Story [Warning: Photo Overload!]

Aubrey Michele Davis--Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 7:57 P.M.--6 pounds 11 ounces--19 1/4 inches long

I went to the doctor on Monday, 10/31 for my 40 week check up. The doctor measured my belly and said that she was going to be a big baby by the way I was measuring. I decided for an induction since 1. I didn't want to deliver a big baby and 2. I was tired of being pregnant and not making any progress. She checked me and I was still dilated to 1 cm. So, we set my induction to start Thursday at 7:15 A.M.

 Baxter made all of his preparations to be out of work for the weekend. I called my Mom and let her know we were inducing. Then we made the calls to everyone else. My Mom and sister were going to be in the delivery room with me, along with Baxter, so I had to let her know that she needed to be out of school Thursday. 

On Wednesday night, I had some small contractions, but made no progress by the time we made it to the hospital. I had 4 hours of sleep that night, and got up at 4:45 Thursday morning to take one last shower and eat a light breakfast before heading to the hospital. I left my house that morning, knowing it was the last time I would leave while pregnant. I definitely had a mix of emotions...which were mostly nerves by this time.

We arrived at the hospital at 6:45 A.M. and got registered. They sent us up to Labor and Delivery, and we went to our room. We sat around until 7:15, when the nurse came in. She had me change in to my hospital gown and got all my information needed. 

Around 7:45, the nurse checked me and I was 1 cm and 30% effaced. She inserted the IV in to my arm, and blew my vein. I still have a huge, nasty bruise from it! So she ended up getting the vein in my wrist. After getting my IV in, she started Pitocin...which I have decided is the bitch. It was horrible. I hated it. 

At 8:45, the nurse and the doctor came in and checked me again. I was at 2 cm and 50% effaced within an hour. This is when the doctor broke my water and told me that I would probably deliver late Thursday night/early Friday morning. So I was expecting a long labor at this point. 

At 2:00, I was practically begging for my epidural. So, we told the nurse, she checked me, and then the anesthesiologist came in. He seriously was my best friend after I got my epi! When she checked me, I was only 3 cm and 90% effaced. So, I basically made no progress since 8:45. I believe it was from me not relaxing and I would tense up with all the contractions. 

The doctor came in at 4:30, and checked me again. I was 7 cm and 100% effaced. I was shocked! I went 3 cm in 2 hours! The doctor told me that I would be checked again at 7:30 and we should be able to push then. I was excited, yet nervous! Once I relaxed, things definitely got moving. 

Around 6:45, I started feeling a lot of pressure in my butt. I told my Mom and everyone else in the room, and we said we would just wait until the nurse came in and checked me. Around 7:20 or so, the nurse came in and checked me. She checked me, and Aubrey was literally right there. She told me "don't move, don't do anything. Just lay there." 

The nurse came back in, and we started pushing. After 20ish minutes of pushing, at 7:57 P.M., Aubrey made her debut in to the world. The first thing out of my mouth was "You aren't a big baby!" I laid my head back and cried once I heard that first cry. It is truly the best sound in the world. And I cannot believe how much I love something this small. She's perfect!

We have been home 8 days, and getting used to each other. She is such a happy and content baby. She truly makes life so much better. I have never been happier in my entire life, even though I'm sleep deprived. 

 

40 Weeks! And Belly Pictures!

We made it to 40 weeks, and I'm not doing an actual update! Instead, I have collages of all my belly pictures I've taken throughout the entire pregnancy that I'll post! And right now, we are sitting at 40+3 weeks and she isn't budging. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced...so we have officially given Aubrey an eviction notice. She can pack her bags and move out before Thursday, or Thursday morning at 7:15, they will start the induction process. I'm nervous but very excited about meeting this little one! But I will see y'all on the other side! For now, enjoy the pictures and see how much I have changed since February! Crazy!

Update

I haven't felt like doing a weekly update lately (as you can tell)! And to be honest, I probably won't do one. But I will update just a few things.

• I am 38+3 weeks...where in the world has the time gone!
• I am pretty sure this little girl plans on staying in Mommy as long as possible. I am neither dilated or effaced. I want to cry at this fact, because I have definitely been feeling some contractions and pressure down there.
• I am still working (maybe 4 hours a week)...and it sucks. I am so ready for leave. But I said from the beginning I was going to work up until Aubrey gets here or her due date. Right now, her due date will be here before she is!
• I had two amazing baby showers, and I am so thankful for them! Aubrey is beyond spoiled that it's crazy! I would post pictures, but to me, they aren't flattering! If we're friends on Facebook, you can see them.
• I have definitely enjoyed football season so far. We have a week off this weekend (10.22) as we prepare to take on the disliked hated Florida Gators on 10.29.
• Talking about football, we need to beat Florida, and then Florida needs to beat South Carolina so we can take the SEC East.
• GO DAWGS!
• As for the SEC West, LSU needs to lose to Alabama on 11.5.
• ROLL TIDE!
• And the big one besides Aubrey of course...there is 30 days until my birthday. It seems like yesterday I was celebrating my birthday with family and friends. And now, it's here again. Please, God, can the next 18 years go by realllllyyy slow instead of speeding by like I know they will. I can't imagine my baby girl graduating from high school.

I am pretty sure this is everything that is going on right now. Mainly, it's just a waiting game for Aubrey to get here!

Hope y'all have a wonderful week!

34 Weeks!

How Far Along: 34 weeks...oh my! 42 days to go until due date! That is, if she decides to stay put that long!

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a honeydew!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Keeps fluctuating. Up 1/2 a pound at my doctor's appt. Right at my pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity Clothes: Very much so. I can fit in a few pre-preg clothes, but they're getting snug.

Gender: Girl! Aubrey Michele

Movement: Yes! All the time!

Sleep: Has been horrible! That's about all I can say about it. Awful.

What I miss: A good night's sleep. An ice cold beer.

Cravings: Coke slushies still..and Mexican food. Yum.

Symptoms: Constantly in the bathroom.

Best Moment this week: Hearing her heartbeat...twice! Not so good...in the hospital for contractions. Now, at 34 weeks, they won't stop labor. Oh joy! Thankfully, the contractions were far enough apart and not strong enough to do anything. But they were going on over an hour and hurt!

 

 

31 Weeks

How Far Along: 31 weeks...oh my gosh. We are in single digit weeks waiting her arrival.

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a squash.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Keeps fluctuating. Up 1.5 pounds. Still down 2 pounds pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity Clothes: Pants...yes. My regular shirts are getting tight and short...especially my work shirt.

Gender: Girl! Aubrey Michele

Movement: Yes! All the time!

Sleep: Has been horrible! I feel like it takes forever to get to sleep. And then when I wake up, I still feel exhausted.

What I miss: A good night's sleep:)

Cravings: Coke slushies...I can't get enought of them!

Symptoms: Constantly in the bathroom because she's dancing on my bladder! And I believe my urge to start nesting has shown up. I can't clean enough. And I think morning sickness is showing up...again.

Best Moment this week: Looking forward to Friday...I wanna hear her heartbeat. It's been another rough week. BP has started to increase and I can't get rid of a headache. They did a blood test for pre-eclampsia. It came back normal. But they found some protein in my urine. SO, we'll wait till Friday and go from there.

30 Weeks!

How Far Along: 30 Weeks 5 days...OH MY! 65 days left....eek!

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a squash.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Keeps fluctuating...up half a pound in four weeks. Just depends on the day, I think.

Maternity Clothes: Pants...yes. My regular shirts are getting tight and short...especially my work shirt.

Gender: Girl! Aubrey Michele

Movement: Yes! All the time!

Sleep: Has been horrible! I feel like it takes forever to get to sleep. And then when I wake up, I still feel exhausted.

What I miss: A good night's sleep:)

Cravings: Pizza. Bad. And Coke slushies

Symptoms: Constantly in the bathroom because she's dancing on my bladder! And I believe my urge to start nesting has shown up. I can't clean enough. And I think morning sickness is showing up...again.

Best Moment this week: This week has been a rough week. I don't feel like going in to details, but I will say that I am seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow. But I guess the best part is feeling her move all the time. She brings a smile to my face with every movement she makes.

Cravings, Cravings, and More Cravings...Oh My!

I know, a middle of the week post. And I am so proud of myself for doing it! I'm just afraid by the weekend I will forget all about my cravings....again! I always seem to when I'm doing my update! Anyways, I have definitely had a lot of cravings lately. But there's been some main ones. And some aversions. It's been crazy!

• Chocolate Milk: Oh my gosh! I cannot get enough chocolate milk. Yesterday, I had five, yes FIVE, cups myself. I've always liked milk, but never like this! I am finding this insane! And I'm drinking regular milk to on top of that. Hopefully Aubrey will come out LOVING milk the way her Momma does!
• Crunch Bars: You know, the chocolate bars with the little crunchy things in them. Yes, I want them. All the time. For a while, I didn't want sweets. But now, I can't get enough of them. Almost every time I go in to the grocery store, I have to get one. So the other night, Baxter and I went to the Golden Pantry and they stopped selling Crunch bars because apparently "they're too cheap for the GP." I was so pissed off and could have cried.
• Chicken: YUM! I don't care where it's from, if it's dipped or cooked in anything, or whatever. I want chicken! I have always been a big fan of chicken. But this one...it's different! I could eat chicken for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks! No, I don't eat it this often though!
• Coke Slushies: I am a Diet Coke drinker. Always have been. But Coke Slushies are ah-mazing! I am in the gas station at least once every day to get me a Coke slushie. And yes, I am drinking water too.I feel like I am always putting something to drink in my mouth!
• Pizza: Yum! I wanted pizza last night and had to wait until today. But it wasn't as good as I had planned. Boo. I hate despise when that happens. Especially when pregnant.

I think that is it for cravings. I know, I'll come up with something else one day before Aubrey makes her appearance. As for aversions, there really isn't that much. Mainly just Reese cups...which is weird to me. I love peanut butter and chocolate. Right now, it just doesn't seem appealing when they're together. Hmm.

28 Weeks...Oh My!

How Far Along: 28 Weeks...Oh my goodness! Entered 3rd tri last week while at the lake and realized that there is only 84 days until this princess' due date!

Size of baby: Baby is the size of an eggplant...again!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Keeps fluctuating...when I weighed myself this morning, I was down 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. At the doctor....6 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Pants...yes. I realized that I can still wear some of my regular shirts and dresses.

Gender: Girl! Aubrey Michele

Movement: Yes! All the time!

Sleep: Has been horrible! I feel like it takes forever to get to sleep. And then when I wake up, I still feel exhausted.

What I miss: With it being so hot, a nice cold beer. But I know, it's all worth not having it!

Cravings: Sweets! I can't get enough of them!

Symptoms: Constantly in the bathroom because she's dancing on my bladder! And I believe my urge to start nesting has shown up. I can't clean enough!

Best Moment this week: Since I didn't post last week because I was at the lake, I'll tell you all about it. The best part definitely has to be the mini vacay to the lake. It was so relaxing and peaceful. I did not want to come back! Then, I found out I passed my 1-hour gestational diabetes testing. So that excited me. Then I found out she was head down! Actually, I freaked out over that a little bit. Not so good thing...I fell while getting in the shower. But everything seems to be fine now. We went to the doctor and heard the heartbeat and got an U/S. But she sure knows how to scare Mommy by not moving a lot right after it happened. I seriously thought there was something wrong. And then I started to spot and cramp really bad...which sent me to L&D to be monitored for a while. Nothing but Braxton Hicks...huge sigh of relief there!

26 Weeks

How Far Along: 26 weeks! One week away from 3rd tri!  

Size of baby: Baby is the size of an eggplant!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At the neurologist last week, I was still down 8 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. The doctors don't seem worried yet.

Maternity Clothes: Pants...yes. I realized that I can still wear some of my regular shirts and dresses.

Gender: Girl! Aubrey Michele

Movement: Yes! All the time!

Sleep: Has been okay. Still waking up during the night to use the restroom and in pain.

What I miss: Feeling like myself and having more energy. Not being sick.

Cravings: To be honest, nothing lately.

Symptoms: I'm feeling like I'm in the restroom all the freaking time. And morning sickness has showed up some. JOY!

Best Moment this week: Hearing her heartbeat tomorrow. Also, hoping to skip town this weekend and head to the lake! We'll see how my schedule for work is tomorrow.

 

I know I haven't blogged in a month. Between being sick, working, the 4th, doctor appointments, and moving...it's been one hectic month. I also have some belly pictures to post, but I'll do that when I have more time. I just wanted to update so in a year or so I can look back and remember all this stuff. Also, I have my gestational diabetes testing tomorrow. I am so not looking forward to that at all. I am actually dreading it, because I don't want to drink that sugary drink so early in the morning.

 

 

22 Weeks!

How Far Along: 22 weeks! Holy crap!

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a spaghetti squash!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't stepped on the scale lately...still down about 7 or so pounds I guess.

Maternity Clothes: All the time!

Gender: My intuition was correct...it's a GIRL!

Movement: Yes! She moves around a lot!

Cravings: Sweets...Chic-Fil-A

Symptoms: I'm feeling like I'm in the restroom all the freaking time.

Best Moment this week: Not baby related...but spending 3 days at the lake this past week. Looking forward to the doctor's appointment Friday.

Random Ramblings

I'm not too sure what to name this post...or if it'll have a name. To be honest, blogging has been the last thing on my mind lately. So much has happened, that somedays, I'm not too sure what to do. Not sure what direction to go in, etc. The only thing that is keeping me a root and on top of things is Baby.

I want the best for this child. I lay in bed at night, and think about all the goals I have for him/her. I have always heard that children grow up fast, and now, I am scared because of it. I don't want the next 18 years to go by super fast, but I know they'll go by before I can blink my eyes. This baby has so many people who already love him/her and can't wait to meet him/her. I look forward to the day that s/he is born, and I can finally hold him/her in my arms. But I also know that s/he better stay put until at least 37 weeks! Do you hear me, Baby? No sooner!

Talking about Baby, we have names picked out. And I surely cannot wait to announce them. But we will not announce them until we know the sex. Which is in 27 days, if s/he cooperates! I can't wait! I want to start shopping so bad. I also have bedding picked out for each sex, and can't wait to find out what bedding we will use. When the bedding is purchased, I know I will post about it. Lately, I just haven't been in a mood to blog. I only do it so when Baby gets here, I can look back on my pregnancy, and remember the little milestones, such as movement and things.

Last Wednesday, I heard the Billy Dean song "Let Them Be Little"...and oh my gosh. I bawled like a baby. LeahJean was graduating from Pre-K, and her teacher made a slide show with that song. I have heard it before, but it has more meaning to me now.

But, I am done rambling on. If you made it this far, I'm proud of you! Have a great end of the week!

Best Moment this week: Doctor's appointment was Friday:) got to see Baby, seeing as s/he didn't want us to hear the heartbeat. Scary moment, but s/he has a very strong heartbeat.

 

Not the best picture, because s/he was flipping around. But definitely starting to look more like a baby. I am beyond excited, to say the least! 14 Weeks, 6 Days.

To all the Mom's and Mom's -to -Be out there...Happy Mother's Day! I believe that you become a Mom the moment you see those two pink lines...especially when for 9 months, you are the sole provider for that child. As for my First "unofficial" Mother's Day [as I call it], I just spent the day with the family and got some cards. We went to church, lunch, then came home. I know that my Mom is one of my best friends. She's my confidant, and I'm not sure what I would do without her. She's wonderful. She has been there through thick and then. Love you, Mom!

 

The sad thing, I don't have any recent pictures with my Mom. I need to take some, and will soon! This is from my high school prom. But still, it's a picture of her and I together! Thanks Mom for all you do!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Random Ramblings

I am so sorry that I haven't posted my 10 week update...and to be honest, I'm not going to this week. Nothing has really changed, and I will post [hopefully] on Saturday or Sunday after my doctor appointment this Friday. To be honest, I am so excited about the appointment, seeing as we didn't get to hear the heartbeat last appointment. I can't wait to hear that oh so beautiful sound!

But around here this week...things have been hectic!! I started feeling better last week, but then this week...things have reared their nasty head again. Migraines...check! And they are absolutely horrible. I'm hoping that they will start to subside as soon as I hit 2nd tri! And I hope they do. They're no fun! Morning sickness, on the other hand, hasn't been near as bad as it was. It has subsided a lot...but I still get nauseous some. Hopefully that is going away for good. I do know...a full night's sleep would be wonderful sometime though!

But like I was saying about this week....dang! I need a breather. It's exhausting being pregnant with other things going on. Last Saturday and Sunday, I had orientation for work and start this Friday. As nervous as I am...I'm also so excited about starting work again. I really haven't had a job since December [minus the 3 weeks in February]...so I am pretty happy about this. Monday night, we had some severe weather move through. And I mean severe when I say that...not just some "I'm scared and think this is gonna be bad" weather. We were out of power for almost 24 hours [can't complain, I know]. But the thing is, we almost think that a tornado skipped around us. Our chicken houses have tin thrown off the roof...stuff flew across the road in to our hay field...there are HUGE trees uprooted...and then the people down the road have an ass load of cleaning up to do. Thankfully, everyone is safe. But literally, the power went out and BAM the storm was right over us. We seriously had no warning at all..no thunder, lightning, or anything. So not too sure what it was.

But, I am going to end this for the night. Just needed to ramble on some. Hope y'all have a wonderful rest of the week!

Sorry I was a little late again this week, I will try to get on track. But things have been so incredibly busy around here. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

7 Weeks 4 Days [Little Late]

How Far Along: 7 weeks 4 days

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a raspberry this week!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: To be honest, not sure. I hate the scales and try and avoid them.

Maternity Clothes: None yet. But my jeans definitely get snug towards the end of the day.

Gender: Find out June 10! Cannot wait. Thinking it's a girl right now.

Movement: None. At all. Too early.

Sleep: Has been okay. I get up a couple times a night to use the restroom. And randomly wake up.

What I miss: Hmm. I can't really say I miss anything right now. I'm pretty sure that'll change soon!

Cravings: Chicken! I will eat anything chicken and not get tired of it!

Symptoms: Where to start? Nausea...Bad. Tender breasts. Dry mouth [yes, I read somewhere that was a symptom!]. That's all I can think of right now. Wait, does pregnancy brain count?!

Best Moment this week: This was technically in my 6th week, but I'll put it on here...seeing Baby on U/S last Friday! Best feeling in the world!

 

Think I believe it now...after FOUR at home pregnancy tests?!

Baby at 6w6d...so tiny!
