Weekly Report

Well, today Mia is one week old. She had her first doctor's appt and is doing great.

New tricks:
First projectile vomit was today as soon as we got her bathed and dressed.

Sleeping:
She alternates sleeping 2hrs and 4hrs. If we're able to keep her awake for a little bit after eating she sleeps longer.

Eating:
She eats about 2.5oz every 2-4hrs, basically whenever she wakes up.

Other Things:
She weighed 7lbs today at the doctor and was 20.25in long. The doctor said we have a very healthy little girl. She hates getting her diaper changed and loves staring at lights. We're pretty sure she's going to be a daddy's girl.

Zed and me:
Zed is keeping busy with scouts. This weekend he'll be participating in wood badge. He has about a month until pilot training starts. I am able to fit into my pre-pregnant jeans! I haven't stepped on a scale yet so I'm not sure how much I've lost, I'm just ready to be cleared to exercise.

Weekly Report

She's three days old! She's a really good baby and we're gradually learning the difference in her cries. I tried on my pre-pregnant jeans today and they fit!! I still have some belly, but it was nice to be able to do up those pants.

I'm keeping track of different things she does (firsts) and each week I'll give a run down. I'll post pictures and important updates in between the weekly reports. Enjoy and let me know if there's any info you would like included.

New tricks:
Hiccups
Smiling
Finger holding

Sleeping:
She sleeps about 3hrs at a time and then wakes up to eat. She sleeps pretty easy during the night and during the day she likes to just look around.

Eating:
I'm breastfeeding and it's going really well. I'm lucky that she and I were able to get on each others schedule pretty quick.

Other things:
She is O+ so she took after Zed on that count. No matter how tight we wrap her up her feet find a way out, another thing Zed passed along to her.

Pictures!

Going home today

Mia and I are still doing great. We should be out of the hospital by lunch today. I have FaceTime and Skype if you want to see her in person, just let me know and we'll set up a time. I'll be posting pictures and info on here from now on so be sure to check back regularly.

Mia Moira Davies

She was born at 3:41pm after 18min of pushing. She was born with 10 fingers and 10 toes and a head full of inch long dark hair. She weighed in at 6lbs 13oz and is 20in long. Both her and I are doing great. Zed did an amazing job giving motivation along the way. We're all pretty tired but keep an eye out for pictures.

Baby Davies

So I've been admitted into the hospital. Since there has been no progression for 5wks they inserted a balloon to get things moving. They'll induce me tomorrow. Keep an eye out for updates.

40wks

Well, she's fully cooked, but still doesn't want to come out. I'm still at 2cm. The induce date has been set for the 19th if she doesn't come before then. They're currently estimating that she weighs 8lbs 2oz, so she'll be a chunker. Enjoy the pictures.

Happy Valentines Day!

News!

No baby news, just news on Zed.

He will be starting pilot training on April 2nd with a current track select date of Sep 23rd. He will be in academics for a month and then 4 months flying the T-6. On 23 Sep he will find out if he'll be flying helos, fighters, or heavies (cargo and tanker planes). Depending on which he gets he will either go to Alabama for helos for 6 months or stay here in Columbus for 6 months learning to fly the T-1 if he pulls heavies or the T-38 if he pulls fighters. He wants a helo spot first, then a heavy spot and finally a fighter spot. The decision will be made based on his class rank and what spots are currently available in the Air Force.

If he does not get a helo spot he will find out in March 2014 what his aircraft will be and what his first flying base will be. I will also be able to change bases at this time and follow him.

We're excited to finally have news and look forward to this stage of Zed's career.

Still no updates on Baby Davies. Stay tuned!

39 weeks

Well, our little angel is not ready to grace us with her presence yet. She is stubborn just like her parents. We had a check up today and nothing has changed except she's gained some weight. I'm still at 2cm even with walking 4-6 miles every day this past week. We will continue trying but she will come when she's ready.

Enjoy the pictures and hopefully news will come sooner rather than later.

Almost done...

Well, we've hit 38wks and our little girl hasn't graced us with her presence yet. No change in dilation, so still 2cm, but a ton more false labor pains.

I've been walking 4 miles a day, except yesterday I did 6, trying to coax her out. Next appointment is on the 7th so maybe we'll see more progression then. Stay posted and we'll let you know as soon as there's an update.
