New Pictures of Taylor

Here are a couple of pictures that Tawny took the other day when she came to visit us. I love the pictures! Tawny... you are soo good! Also, Tawny created my new header with Taylor's pictures. So, the second week went by really fast. I was home all week by myself. I do have to say that I had a lot of support from my mom. She has saved me a few times!! I went to the lactation clinic twice last week for some help. Nursing has been the hardest part. I won't give any details, but you nursing moms know what I'm talking about...I think?? Taylor is wanting to eat all the time and so the days seem to come and go pretty fast. I love being a mom even though I do have rough moments. I can't say that it's all easy, because it's not, but I wouldn't change anything about it right now. I would do anything for her!

Update on Baby Taylor

We got through the first week! The first night home was rough. I don't think any of us got any sleep at all. Jimmy and I were so paranoid about every little sound she made. Each night has gotten a little easier. Jimmy had to go back to work today and I am proud to say I made it through the day. I returned phone calls and emails and took care of Taylor. She has changed so much this week and we are both so in love with her! I thought I'd put some new pictures up so that you can see what she looks like now. Right now she is taking a nap on Jimmy, so I actually have a few minutes to post.
Daddy's girl already!
Taylor in the middle of the boppy. The hard part about the boppy has been keeping Gage out of it. He loves it!!

She's a total thumb sucker. She covers her whole face to do it. You can't see her thumb because it's in her mouth.

So sweet!
One of her first times in her stroller and a dress. So much fun to get her dolled up.
Gage found his spot in the stroller too!

Look at Gage in the back. Poor guy!

Thumb sucking again.

Taylor Miachelle Davis

Hi everyone! She has arrived. She arrived on her due date, April 6th, at 9:58 pm. It was such a crazy day, but I will give you a short run down and then post a ton of pictures because I cannot wait for everyone to see her. (The pictures are not in order...I didn't want to redo the whole thing) So, I woke up on Sunday and felt fine, then I lost my mucous plug. I didn't think I was in labor because I know it can still be a while. Then I started feeling really crampy, but not bad. So, around 10:15 we started to write them down every time one happened. They never were more than 7 minutes apart. I called Kaiser and they didn't want me to come in until they were 2-3 minutes apart and were lasting for a good amount of time. So, we finally went to Kaiser around 5:00 (or maybe later...I don't know the exact times) because my pain was getting much worse and the contractions were 3 minutes apart for the most part. When we got there, they checked and I was dilated to 4, so they admitted me. Then it started getting painful!! So I asked for the epidural and I got it probably an hour later. They had to put it in three times, but hey, I would have let them do it 1,000 because I hurt so bad. Finally it worked and they checked me about five minutes later...I was already dilated to 10!! No wonder it hurt so bad, so quickly. So, they said we are ready to push and that's when she arrived. I have never felt anything like this before. Jimmy and I can't believe she ours and she is so perfect. Everyone has told me that you have so much love for your baby and it is true. It's almost overwhelming the feelings that I feel for her. I come to tears when I think of it. Enough about us. I want you to see her...
I know I need to return a lot of phone calls and texts, I will, I promise...it's just been a whirlwind!




Gage is feeling VERY left out.

I love this picture...you can see how tiny her hand is.
This is when she arrived home.

This was after I had the epidural.

There she is. 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 3/4 inches long.


This was the last monthly picture that I took.

This was when we first got to the hospital to get checked.

Still Waiting...

We are still waiting! We went to the doctor today and I am still dilated to 1. There is no change from last week. So, she could still come at any time. They are going to induce me next Thursday night if she doesn't come by then. On a sad note, my grandfather passed away today. We were able to go and see him last night and it happened this morning. I'm glad we were able to say our goodbyes. Everyone keeps telling me it's all the cycle of life. I guess I just have lots of emotions going on right now. I will keep posting to let everyone know what's going on. Hopefully Taylor will decide it's her time soon!!
