Why do we have to outgrow the infant stage. I wouldn't mind curing up in a blanket and sleeping the day away. :)
I also wouldn't mind if the Dr. ordered a little sun bathing.

Davis' 1st Bath
Just like his older brother Davis loves the bath.
Soakin' up the sun
We had to document his dark hair while it's still here. If this little guy is anything like Damon he won't stay dark for long.
Baths can be so exhausting.
4 Days Old!
During all this down time Damon thought he'd get through a magazine or two. Ha Ha... this kid cracks me up.
I can't get over Davis' little duck feet... they are so cute!
Davis has been a bit jaundice so the Dr. recommended some daily sun shine. We opened his sleeper to get some sun on his belly and the little guy liked it so much he wiggled his leg out all on his own.
Who would have thought we'd have a baby small enough to fit in little preemie sleepers?
2 Days Old
All dressed up and no where to go.
Homeward Bound
Damon loves to tickle his brothers toes.
With so much attention on the new arrival we wanted to make sure Damon didn't feel left out so we gave him a gift too. He got a new race track and boy does he love it!

Baby Davis is here!
After a surprise water break at 11:15 pm we headed to the hospital. It took a few minutes for my contractions to start so I thought I had all the time in the world. At midnight when my contractions were regularly 2 minutes apart we realized we needed to hustle out the door. Especially since we live about 35 minutes away from the hospital we deliver at :)
By the time we got to the hospital contractions were 1.5 min. apart and I was at a 2. I was really excited to try a natural birth (without an epidural). In my head it all seemed great... you know, walking around during contractions rather than being stuck in that uncomfortable bed hooked up to lots of machines. Problem is, when your water is broken you can't exactly stroll about the hospital. So... I was still confined to the uncomfortable bed. I did really well working through labor until I hit a 5. My body was shaking and I was so nauseous I could barely see straight. An epidural was sounding more and more appealing. Why in the world did I want to do this natural thing anyway? ;)
Well, I made a deal with myself. I asked the nurse to check me and if I was a 6 then I'd keep going natural. If I was still at a 5 then it was time for some pain killer.
Results were in... 5.5 "Epidural please"
Funny thing is, I got the epidural and then the doctor came it to check on me. The doctor walked in the room at 3:35 and Davis was born at 3:42 (Looks like I was a little closer than I thought). However, i definitely don't regret doing the epidural. The little bit it did help was HEAVENLY!

7 lbs. 8 oz. -- 20 in.
Our beautiful new family of four.
This is me SO happy to not be pregnant anymore.
If I had known what a cool moment it would be when Damon saw Davis for the first time I definitely would have had the video camera out.
I thought he'd be confused because he was so used to Davis being in my tummy... but when he saw a little baby he knew exactly who it was and he was in awe. It was the cuttest proudest mommy moment I've had yet. :)
Damon loves his new little baby brother SO much. He keeps asking to hold him and kiss him and hug him.
Dad and Damon hangin' out in the hospital room.
39 Weeks
So... I'm at exactly 39 weeks and was planning on taking a belly shot. Problem is, I forgot and got in my PJ's and got ready for bed. I told Darren, "All well we'll do it first thing in the morning".
Little did I know there would be much more important things on my plate first thing the next morning. As I laid down at 11:15pm to go to sleep my water broke. SURPRISE! So, I got up, showered, got dressed, took my belly pic and headed to the hospital.

Company Party
We got to enjoy our Company Party at Thanksgiving point on Saturday. It was so windy that the balls intended for the parachute game were blowing all over. Don't worry, Damon was more than entertained running around to gather them up. Preggy mom even joined in on the fun.
Damon even got to do spin art. They asked if I'd help him because the paint comes out fast (totally reasonable). However, when someone asked if he made that cool picture he said "nope, mom did". ha ha.

Pre-Baby Pedicures
I think it should be a rule to have pedicured feet when about to have a baby. You spend way too much time looking at your toes during labor to have them be unruly. Note to all expectant mothers, treat yourself to a pedicure (you deserve it!)
And it's an extra bonus if you can snag a sister to come along with you. :)
Kyli's Bridal Shower!
We got to throw a bridal shower for my little sister Kyli who's getting married in a few weeks and it was loads of fun! I'm blessed to have more than my fair share of sisters and it's nice to all get together once in a while.
p.s. Kori this picture is for you... you can definitely see the baby bump :)
We played the classic 'question' game to see how well the bride to be knows her future spouse. We made her eat a piece of sour gum for every question she got wrong. As you can see in this picture she didn't think it was going to be so bad.
Well... it was a bit worse than she thought. Ha Ha (thanks Darren for thinking of a mean twist to the game).
Afterward we decided to let Andi's daughter Kennedy see what she thought of a sour gum ball...
Much to our surprise she LOVED it and thought it was hysterical.
Before the shower started we had a chocolate fountain malfunction... as you can see my kitchen was a mess. I wish we would have taken a picture of me because I looked about as good as my countertop.
