Yeah...it's been awhile
First things first, I had our sweet baby boy. We named him Jude Bennett Davis. He was born a month early on August 31, 2011. We were very surprised to learn that he was coming as soon as he was, but everything went great. And at 9:12pm a 7lb 2ounce 20.5 in little angel came into our lives forever.
Then we moved to Colorado right after thanksgiving. We like it , but we sure do miss being close to family. We're hoping one day we can move a little bit closer because 12 hours is so NOT fun to drive with Jude. Here's to hoping we don't have to live in the snow forever!
Since its been over a year Jude has just celebrated his 1st birthday! He is the light in my life. My sweet little angel boy...my pumpkin pie! I couldn't have asked for a sweeter little boy! I just love him to pieces. He just had his 1 year doctors apt and this kid is growing up way too fast! He's 30.5 in tall, 24.6 lbs, and walking all over the place. His stats are finally starting to look more average compared to the 85% he was in for awhile. He sleeps fabulously through the night, has been since 7 weeks. (oh yeah...I'm that good!) He naps pretty well 2 times a day and is in the process of switching to milk and sippy cups! He's such a big boy. He eats as if we starve him, but you would know that's a lie just by looking at him. He loves his cars and music is already a huge part of his life. Put on some tunes and this kid starts his own dance party. He loves our two doggies and swimming! If he could be outside all day I think he would. If we ever can't seem to make him happy we always have his "small potatoes" cartoon to cheer him up. He is pretty pleasant most of the time and loves kissing and snuggling with mommy and daddy. He says dada with no problem but momma takes a little more convincing. (he can say it though) I like to think he's being reverent with mommy's name...or something like that. He makes the best pouty lip fake cry ever. Eric and I can't help but laugh when he does it.(mean mommy and daddy). He loves his blanky and copying anyone and everyone. He gives high fives, blows kisses, waves bye-bye, and tries his best to fold Hus arms for prayer. He's the best little boy and he fits in perfectly with our family. I just love him so so much!
Well that was, more or less, the shortened version of the last year and a half. One day....I'll be better at this!

GUESS WHAT....
That's right folks...we're having a boy and we couldn't be more excited. I can't even describe the way I felt when Eric and I got to see this little guy on the ultrasound tv. He even waved at his mommy and daddy when he first came up on the screen. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. So far he's pretty much perfect...well from what the technician could see on the screen he's perfect. OMG...I love this little boy so much I can hardly stand it. He is actually measuring a little bit big...and the technician says I'm about a week ahead of what we thought. Which makes me 20 weeks today instead of 19. However, it's not enough of a difference to change my due date, but it's good to know. On the bright side, I can start counting down weeks instead of counting up.
This is my sweet boy's profile, probably my favorite picture. Also, I can offically say that I have felt him kick. Actually it was like 2 weeks ago when I first felt it, but I wasn't sure then. I am seriously so excited about him. I just love knowing that he's a boy, it's made his whole experience very real. I can't wait to hold my little man and be his mommy.

I'm Pregnant!
Of course I'm actually not anywhere near 8 weeks along. I'm actually 17 1/2 weeks along. I know...kinda waiting a long time before saying something. It's not that I didnt want to, its just that being on the computer longer then a half an hour makes me feel so sick...up until recently that is. So I'm finally feeling up to posting about things. I'm due September 29, 2011 and we find out what we're having in just 2 weeks. I can't tell you how excited we are. Eric absolutely loves this little ultrasound picture and he can hardly wait to get another one.
So I'm past the "I feel sick all the time" stage, but I get this fun thing where I get kinda sqwimish at certain sights or smells. But other then that, sickness is gone. Although I am having trouble sleeping, being comfortable while I sleep, and then waking up with back pain. So that's no fun. I'm getting rounder each week, which means I get this awful stretching pain on the side and bottom of my stomach, but I figure things could be way worse. So I should just be happy that baby and me are healthy still/so far.
In other non-baby related news, Eric's work is keeping him busy. Which is good for us, it means our bills are going to be paid...on time! Ok, so we've never not paid our bills on time, but its nice not having to check how much money is in the bank to see when we should pay. So Eric started out this year possibly going away for the entire summer...without me. But ever since the baby he's been working so incredibly hard to make sure he can be here for us. I love him so much and I'm so proud of him. So it turns out that within all this hard work he might have to be in California for a month and then possibly live in vegas for a little while, but things are certainly not set in stone. However, if this is what happens, I've decided that it's much more do-able then his pervious locations of Texas or Chicago.
So with how much work Eric has been doing we actually have money to buy baby stuff. I'm super excited for that because the baby isnt even here and I was worried how we we're going to provide for him/her. So its definately a load off my mind...well for now at least. So thats about it. I'll try and post some pictures later. Pictures are not my strong point, so hopefully I'll get the desire to do one soon.

I Feel....
"It's like that cruel joke...all who think they've got it made take one step forward...not so fast George Banks!"
All who've seen this movie know exactly what I'm talking about. On one positive note I do feel like this time around life is getting back to normal quicker. Normally it takes us a few months before we feel like we're getting a handle on things. Just for others information I'm not ranting to get sympathy. I'm just feeling like I need to get it out of my system, which btw I'm already feeling much better just by putting down. I know God gives us these crazy times for a reason and I really have to keep reminding myself lately. It'll all be worth it in the end...I just know it.

Summer Update
So I have been kinda slackerish about this blog. I'm getting a little bit better, but at the same time...not really. Anyways, so we had stuff happen this summer that i haven't bothered to post. So here we go...
Alright, so this was actually before summer, but i got bored one day and decided to make a cake. It was just a little cake and i was trying out making my own fondant. It didn't go too badly. It was kinda annoying but really fun at the same time. Eric even helped me out...he was such a trooper!
I did some other cakes but just with frosting...I did one for my mother-in-law. I decorated it with cream cheese frosting...which is not a good hold frosting...btw...it melts really fast, which is why its not a good hold frosting. It was white with paisley designs on it. it was pretty cute...i wish i had a picture of it. i also did a tye-dye cake for my sisters 18th birthday. it was cute also...man i wish i was better at taking pictures. Both pictures are on our parents cameras. But if i ever get ahold of those pictures i will put them up.
Also during the time i wasnt really working because we we're going to move i finally had time to redo a dresser and nightstand that we bought a while ago. Like i said, Im horrible at taking pictures so i kinda forgot about taking a before picture....but trust me it looked nasty. It had stains and paper on it that was suppose to look like wood...there's a word for it but i cant think of it right now. So we had to peel off all the nasty stained paper...which was the hardest part, but once that was done it was so much easier to make it look pretty.
Its more of an off whiteish color not white and that the original hardware...its super cute now!
This is the matching nightstand!
