He is finally here! I was due on October 29th but always said he wouldn't be here until November 4th and that's when he arrived! I was scheduled to be induced at 4am on the 4th and my doctor said if I was any bit late they would take me off the list. So you can bet we were there on time and ready to go!
They set me up on the pitocin around 5:30am and I started feeling the uncomfortableness of "mild" contractions (seeing I was still only dilated 1.5cm) and 30 minutes later I had the epidural. Yep wasn't feeling much after that :-). My Dr came in around 8:30am and broke my water and I was pretty much in and out of sleep the rest of the day until it was time to start pushing around 6pm. I'm very grateful for the epidural because I wouldn't want to feel all that pain for those 12 hours!
I'll spare you the details but when time came to push my epidural bag was empty and I felt every bit of the birth...that was honestly my least favorite part and for those who were in the room with me saw the "crazy" side of me. It wasn't pretty. But at 8:12pm a beautiful little boy came into our world weighing 8lbs 14.8oz and 22.5 in long. We couldn't feel more blessed! He is such a wonderful little boy...

| Such a proud moment for Gary |
I was lucky enough to have (Gary obviously) my parents in town for the birth as well as my sister Anna and my 2 nieces Alli and Eloise. My very best friend Dana and Jeff and Grant were also able to make it to meet Davis. I wish Gary's parents could have been there as well but they will be here this weekend to finally meet him!

My Mom was such a help while she was in town. She took Davis every night she was here so I could get some sleep. Now that she is gone I'm really missing her! :-) I'm so grateful for her and all she did for us while she was here. Thanks Mom!

Eloise was so sweet with Davis. She is only 11 months old but she loved being around him!

Uncle Matt and Aunt Aubrey sent him this Glow Seahorse which also plays music.

This past weekend Chris and Chantelle came out with the girls so they could meet Davis. I was horrible and didn't take one pic of the girls with Davis but we did get some of them at the park :-). We loved having them out here and wish they could have stayed longer. Good thing they only live in Nashville and we can see them often.

We are so grateful for the little life we have been blessed with! He couldn't be more perfect and I'm so lucky to be his mommy. We love you Davis!
Makes me want to cry. He's so very perfect. I miss being with him everyday and with you and Gary. I'm glad I could be of some help to you. Christmas isn't toooo far off. Can't wait.
