This pregnancy is going great!

I really can not complain. This has been such an easy pregnancy -- just like I had with Everett. Well, that could mean that I am in for a 2nd child who is hard-headed, stubborn and to smart for his own good! HA! Who knows. I will say that my allergies and sinuses are crazy. They seem to get worse in the mornings and at night. I do believe what they say, that during pregnancy your sinuses swell...which just adds to the annoyance of regular sinus and allergies problems. I have started again with the whole when I eat, I get full sooo fast. I guess my stomach is being smooshed by the baby. I am hungry a lot, but can only eat small amounts. I am counting down until Wed., Sept. 5th....the day we find out if this baby is a boy or a girl. I can't wait. It's very exciting. Oh, and another great thing is that my face is less broken out right now than it has been in years! Yeah! So, all in all, things couldn't be better.

On another note, Everett started swimming lessons this week and is doing quite well. He loves it, so I have no doubt he will become a good swimmer. This is his last week of summer camp. We will have him at home all of next week and then K-5 starts! I can hardly believe he will be in kindergarten. Wow, how time flies.

Finally, the pictures of Baby Davis!!

During this ultrasound the baby kept bouncing its little legs up and down. It has really cute legs! I was about 12 weeks pregnant when these pictures were taken, I think. Lauren has the originals with the date on them -- I left them by accident when I was up there a few weeks ago. I guess in 3 to 5 weeks I will have the "BIG" ultrasound appointment --and we will find out if baby Davis is a boy or girl. Oh, and all bets are on.....let us know if you think it's a boy or girl!
Everett claims the baby is his future baby sister.....what do you think???

I heard the baby's heart beat yesterday!

I finally saw the OB nurse yesterday. Everything checked out just fine. There is a device they use on your stomach to hear the baby's heart beat. I laid down on the bed and the nurse said, "Well, you might be too early on in your pregnancy to hear the heart beat, but we will try." Well, what do you know? She literally placed the microphone (or whatever the device is called - maybe a type of transducer?) right on my stomach and the heart beat of the baby was immediately detected -- and a very strong heart beat I might add. It's always such a relief for me to see and or hear the heart beat. I guess it reassures me that everything is OK. I guess I feel like the baby is in good hands as it is prayed for by my sweet Everett almost every night. He asks God to keep his mommy's baby in her stomach AND his Aunt Lauren's baby in her stomach safe and healthy. It is sooo sweet. ;o)
