Simone Loves Her Family

Facebook

I am able to load pictures and video from my phone directly to facebook. I just send them to my facebook account as if I was sending them to another phone. So easy, and I don't have to have a computer to do it!

Big Girl

My Little S. just rolled over (front to back) for the first time! She was playing on the busy mat that her Great Uncle L. and Aunt B. (thank you) gave her. She was so excited and she began to wiggle so much that she tumbled over. We put her on her tummy and she did it again! I have video, but until we have our own computer I won't be able to upload it.

Happy 4th!

Stolen Photos

Little S., and Grandpa Marc (Jer's Dad).

These photos were taken by Grandpa. I have not yet gotten permission to post them so... I hope Grandpa says it's okay :)

Little Baby Big Chair

Little S. joins us at breakfast.

Her hair is getting long enough for her to have bed head!

By the way...

...Jer and I have started having a regular Friday night date. We look for inexpensive things to do close to home, and after Simone is asleep we go. So far we have walked on the beach, gone to Disneyland, and gone to the movies. which brings me to the point...

Last year we were very pleasantly surprised by how fun/good "transformers" was. When we first heard that the toys we had enjoyed so much as children were getting their own full length (live action?) film we laughed out loud. But it turned out to be pretty okay. It was full of action, but it also had enough down time that you wouldn't get motion sick. It also had a fair amount of charm somehow.

On Saturday we went to see the sequel. Oh, disappointment! It was nonstop action, crass humor, and lots of slow motion girl-taking-her-top-off close ups (nd John Tuturro in a jock strap and nothing else!!!). Needless to say Idon't recommend the movie.

On the other hand it is some of Michael Bay's best work.

Little S. helps Cousin Christina & Cousin Mike tie the knot

Simone was invited to be in Christina's wedding a couple of weeks ago. Here are some pictures...



Isn't Christina beautiful, and she is as sweet as she is beautiful!

Something beautiful

A lovely young woman from our church wrote this poem about our Little S.

It should be a movie...

but I can't get it to load as one.

I just realized something...

I can send pictures to my e-mail address from my phone!!! So, expect to see new pictures semi-regularly!




Disney Baby

Saturday Morning Bliss

Getting Over It

So, for the last few days Simone has been loving her swing. She wants to eat be kissed and then put right into her swing, she gets very upset if you try to do anything else. Lord help you if you have to change the angel. The whole thing has made me feel like a bad mother. I feel like I am ignoring her even if I am sitting next to her in her swing and I don't take my eyes off of her. Silly. My mother wisely says "she just likes her swing... it has nothing to do with you". I'm glad my mother is here or I would be really going crazy! It is really amazing how guilty you feel about everything as a parent.

Our Sweet Girl

Here she is... Simone Marie Davis born March 10, 2009

7 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches

I am in love. Miss Simone is a very sweet baby. She lets me sleep at least 4 hours a night, I think that's pretty good for the first two weeks. She has a soft little cry that she reserves for diaper changes and when she is really, really hungry. She is a great eater! The lactation specialists at the hospital were very annoyed by this. They wouldn't believe me when I told them that I didn't need any help. They would demand to see her latch and eat! I don't know why I felt like I had to prove anything to them, but I did let them see, then they would give me a strange kind of disapproving look and leave. The pattern was the same with all 4 of the lactation specialists that visited me during my stay.


I love this picture! She looks like such a gremlin!
By the way... my amazing friend Megan of Megan J Photography took these photos. You can find her web site here.

Here we go...

About 10 mins after I posted last night I started having contractions. I am now posting from the hospital :). We will be having our baby at 1 (less than an hour from now)! Jer and I are super excited, and more than a little nervous. Please pray for us and little Simone.

still waiting/ I love my man

Nothing yet. I think she may wait till Thursday. It would actually be a very good thing for Jer, he has some of the biggest deadlines coming up at work and a couple of extra days would give him a chance to get everything done before he takes time off (and only work 16 hour days to do it all). He is such a good provider. He never complains, he always comes through the door with a smile on his handsome face and is constantly asking me if he can get/do anything for me. I am so blessed!

Another Sleepless Night

Last night was spent tracking strong contractions the got stronger and closer together throughout the night. By 4 am they were 7 minutes apart and pretty strong. At sunrise they stopped, just stopped. This has happened a few times this week. I totally understand why women go to the hospital thinking that they are in labor when they aren't.

The Day After Tomorrow... maybe

I am at the end of my count down. The nursery is done, and we have all the little things Simone and I will need for a few months (I think) my bag is packed the charts and lists have been created and printed. I am ready.
For those of you that haven't heard, I am scheduled for a c-section on Thursday at 7:30 am. I am due on Monday but Thursday was the soonest that the appointment could be made. If I go into labor before then I will have an emergency c-section. This is because of the size of my pelvis and the fact that Simone will be around 9lbs! So big! The poor little lamb has been trying to get things started, but my body just won't cooperate. So "they will have to go in and get her" as my mom says.

Ughh

So... I had an appointment this morning with my OB, she informed me that I have a narrow pelvis. This means that if Simone is over 9 lbs or if she has a big head (if you have met anyone from my side of the family you know that this is very likely) I will need a c-section. I guess that this would not be so bad, but I haven't been preparing for major surgery. Also, I felt like so much less of a woman... I keep hearing her say "narrow pelvis" in my head. I know I'm being silly but I can't help it.
On the bright side...
I am dilated to 1 cm so I should be delivered by early next week!
