The story before Kaymann Brighton Grace Davis arrives!!!








Well things got crazy in the month of February for Cliff and I... Here is a quick rundown of the month and what led to our early surprise. My baby shower was originally scheduled for February 5 and my maternity photo shoot a few days before; however, the snow won the race and both were post-poned a week later.


So I was running around crazy!!! The photo shoot with Tara Swain was incredible! She is simply amazing and so talented! I was showered to no end at my baby shower. I can't believe the generosity the ladies showed to Kaymann and me. I am honored to know that I have so many dear family and friends close to heart and truly care for me. The wonderful hosts did an outstanding job planning me shower and making it perfect with the zebra, pink and lime green idea!!!


So Cliff and I came home for the evening after the shower, then got up the next morning to head on our BabyMoon in Granbury, Texas. We had the time of our lives!!! I know exactly why I married this man!!! We went to Fossil Rim Wildlife Park in Glen Rose. I got to feed zebras and giraffes; yall know my passion for those 2 animals!! :) We came home a few days later to have Kaymann's nursery furniture delivered. The fun then began to finally decorate and put together the nursery. In 2 days, Cliff and I worked from sun up to sun down and had the nursery ready for Kaymann's appearance.


So that week on Thursday I went to the doctor, and was put on bedrest. My blood pressure was trying to creep up and be high. So the next days I spent at home for the most part laid up. Let me tell you, the busy body that I am, it was HARD!!!!


Back to the doctor on Monday, and that day I was sent to Labor and Delivery for blood pressure monitoring. This was February 21. I knew I had to rest at this point or was going to make this baby come earlier than I wanted. So I finally got released 3 1/2 hours later and went straight home and hit the couch. Went back to see Dr. Pierce on Thursday of that week and I was still on the verge of being high, so he gave me an order to come back Saturday to get monitored again. Luckily Cliff was off that weekend and could go with me. But reality finally set in, we better get our bags packed and in the car, and also get the car seat installed!


Saturday came and went and I was still in the clear and thank goodness, I wanted my Miss March!!! February 28 (Monday) again back to see Dr. Pierce and BP was 89-90. Back to L&D and by 11:30, Dr. Pierce came in and informed me that I would be staying put in the hospital. I became very emotional, only expected from me, that the TRUE process of Kaymann making her appearance was about to begin. Things got better after talking to Cliff and Dr. Pierce and I knew I was in wonderful care there and either way things were going to be alright!!! j


Here are a few random pics!!!


Up next... My birth story of Kaymann!!!

Glucose Test Results

So as we all know, almost every pregnant woman these days is now given a Glucose Test in her 7th month of pregnancy. I had mine the week before Christmas and kind of fretted having this done too. I for sure didn't want to test positive, but of course knew the chance could be there.

Cliff and I arrived early and I drank the oh so horrible orange drink. It's like orange Crush with an entire 5 pound bag of sugar in it. UGH!!! And you can't have anything to drink after so the sugar just sits in your mouth for an entire hour.

An hour passed and it was time to check. Joy, the nurse, tested my blood and I PASSED!!! Whew!!!

Happy 2011

The holiday season came and went in a flash! Cliff and I were super busy running here and there and also getting things done on our agenda.

We started out December by hitting up Canton the first weekend. I wanted to get a piece of art for Kaymann's room I had seen at another show, and knew I must track it down. Success!!!

The 2nd weekend I went with my mom to see the Christmas pageant that Prestonwood Baptist Church puts on and it was absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend to anyone!

The 3rd weekend I had Spirit of Christmas for my Junior League group and also Christmas with my dad. Good times and lots of Mexican food eaten.

Christmas week Cliff and I went to East TX Christmas Eve then on to Denison to his grandparents that evening. Christmas morning was spent with his parents and then on to his Grandma's for lunch. We headed home that afternoon to have Christmas with my mom that evening after she got off work. Can we say BUSY! This is this first time my back truly hurt from being in the car in one position too much.

Cliff was on vacation for 15 days so we got lots of time to spend together and spend lots of it working on Kaymann's room.

We tore off the old trim and then painted new trim and Cliff installed it. His first trim job, but a huge success! Her room is literally a lime that exploded with hot pink trim! I can't wait to post pictures once her room is complete!

New Year's Eve we spent working on her room and at midnight enjoyed some Sparkling White Grape Juice!

I got to see my best friend Amy that now lives in Oregon while she was in town too. She just got married in November in Fiji! Congrats to Adam and her on their new chapter in life!!! So happy for the 2 of them!
