Three's Company

Today we had the pleasure of doing pictures with Mallory Paige Photography and she just couldn't help but share this picture with Facebook. If you look at Jayden, you'll see him smiling! I love his little smile, I think it is the most precious thing EVER! And his little lips look just like his daddy's. :)

Speaking of smiles, I was able to capture this one today:

He is doing so great!! We love him to pieces and seriously couldn't imagine our lives without this precious gift from God!!

God Bless

Jayden has arrived!!

This is 4 days late, but oh well ;) the story of how my...actually our world changed...brought to you by Jayden Kent Davidson ;)

Monday, September 24th at 7:30, my water broke. I had been sick all through the night and it didn't stop until my water broke! 26 hours, pitocin, an epidural and a c-section later, Jayden was born on September 25th at 9:00 am weighing exactly 9 pounds and measuring 21 inches long! He's our precious little man and we couldn't imagine our lives without him!!

Double Blessed

Is it possible to be double blessed? Yes, I think so!! Yesterday I got a picture from my Sis:
It didn't take me long at all to figure out that there were TWO BABIES inside of her!!! Although some people are still in shock that she continues to have children, I'm just thankful that she's able to. Some women don't have the opportunity to ever become a mother! These babies are a double blessing from our Lord above and we shouldn't be "shocked" that they're now adding #7 & #8 to their squeezable family! God goes above and beyond to prove that he is the Almighty One and we doubt him, why?!

I was telling a friend yesterday that I'm officially convinced (not that I wasn't convinced before, but this just proves that it's a perfect name with a perfect meaning) that we chose Jayden's name for a reason, because it means "God has heard" & he sure has!! I was also telling her that we can't and NEVER will replace Jaron Truth, but it's extremely exciting to know that she will get her 7th & 8th huggable, squeezable child at the same time!

I'm beyond excited for her, my Brother-in-Love and my nieces and nephews!! No matter the genders, I just ask for prayers that they will be healthy babies!!


God Bless

37 Weeks!!

THE COUNTDOWN OFFICIALLY BEGINS!!

We are officially 37 weeks today!!! God has blessed us so very much on this journey of this little life inside me! I've been having inconsistent contractions since last Tuesday and my doctor has told me that she feels Jayden will more than likely be here in the next couple of weeks!! He's dropping more and more each day and even though it's become uncomfortable for me to walk or sleep or actually even sit, I know it's all going to be worth it when he gets here!!

I had to have blood work done last week to test for preecalmpsia, because my blood pressure was higher than normal and my feet have become more swollen, I should have those results back today, please say a prayer that if I do have it, they just put me on bed rest until Jayden decides to come, not that they (the doctors) choose when he comes!

I also ask for prayers for my Hubbers, he's been so patient through this whole process, and he's had to endure a lot from me with my mood swings and what not. This is both so very new to us, and even though we say we're ready....I'm not completely sure that we are! (lol) He's my gift from God (without a doubt) and I know that every time I tell him "um I'm having contractions" he freaks just a little bit, but through it all, he stays as calm as he can be and for that I am thankful.

Also, here's a little show of pics we had done by our FAVORITE photographer!! ;)

Mommy & Baby

I received this from a friend yesterday on Facebook. She had tagged me in it. I loved it so much I have shared it with everyone I know on Instagram, here, with my husband too!

I do pray often that the Lord keeps both Jayden & I safe on this journey, and I pray that you continue to support our decisions, whether it be me not doing any pain meds, or our parenting.

I have about 6-7 weeks left and I know that Brady and I are thrilled! Never would we have imagined being in this alone, God has been with us this whole time. Guiding us through the happy and sad times.

But through it all, he's taught us to be thankful for what we do have.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me

were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139: 13-16

God Bless You.

Laughing & Learning

Last night Brady & I sat down and enjoyed a little laughing a learning about labor and what not. It was so very interested and we laughed the whole time!! We got these DVDs from http://www.laughandlearn.com/. Best investment EVER! We decided to get these DVDs because the package of 3 was cheaper than one 5 week course at the hospital! We have only completed 2 classes and will continue with 2 more tonight. We learned all about the preliminary signs of labor, the 3 actual signs of labor and 1 breathing technique (which was really easy and Brady counted how many times I did it, just like he was supposed to :). I also took notes just in case I forget ;) Seriously, we both enjoyed the first 2 classes on the DVD :)

The following pics are what each DVD looks like!

31 weeks!

I am currently 31 weeks, 4 days :) I'm so excited that in just a few short 9-10 weeks our little boy will be here!! Just from this pic above, the lady doing my sono yesterday said that she thinks he'll have my cheeks! Granted this is that great of a pic, but while he was moving around yesterday on the screen, I could tell that she may be right!
When I was little, I had some cheeks on me, so if he has my cheeks and everything thing else is daddy, I'm totally ok with that ;)

Don't worry, this is my last time to wear that shirt! lol

Tomorrow we will be having my first baby shower here and I CAN NOT WAIT!! But we have to decorate tonight, so my 2 favorite moms are coming to help (my mom & my mom-in-love ;)
