From Bed Rest to No Rest

McLaurin Colter Davis has arrived!!!! October 24, 2011, which was about 3 weeks early, but he'shere and beautiful! He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Here is Big Sister Maddie Gray, Aunt Amber & Bubbie loving on sweet Mac. He waited as long as he could! I told Josh Sunday night we were going to have a baby in the next 24-48 hours, and we sure did. Monday morning

He's really been a good baby, he just likes to party all night long, so Mommy ends up looking old and tired! When we brought him home from the hospital he weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and then dropped down to 6 lbs. We had some feeding issues, but worked those out quickly, and now 3 weeks later, he's weighing in at 7 lbs 5 oz. Our sweet pediatrician is really pleased with his weight gain. We also have reflux, so we started on Zantac. Maybe it's just me, but I have all ready noticed that he's doing much better, and he's only had 2 doses. I've been a lot cleaner and spit up free since we started! I was so surprised to find out, he was a he! I was truly torn between boy or girl. Honestly, in the end I thought he would be a she because of all the drama with contractions early on and going into labor at 36 weeks, and then being on bed rest! Who would have thought the Davis family would have one of each? Please don't ask if we're done, because I really cannot answer that truthfully right now, since we're just 3 weeks post delivery. Ask me again in a few months when I'm not sleeping on the couch, and we have a found a new normal!

Newborn pictures of Mac. These were taken when he was a week and a half old. Amy Halstead is such an awesome photographer! We love her dearly... or at least I do!




Amy does such a great job capturing my sweet family. I even think Josh didn't mind doing this!
I am still trying to finish his room, because I kinda thought I would have more time! I will try and post pictures of it soon.

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!
