FINLEY BANKS DAVIS

Fin was born at 1:22pm today. He weighed 7.8 lbs and 19.5 inches long. Both he and mom are doing great!

35 Weeks and Counting

I went to the doctor on Monday. Still no change. 1 cm dilated and baby is head down. Finley's heartbeat was in the 180s and 190s which concerned me, but Dr. Wolfe said he was just a hyper baby. I don't know if we can handle another child more hyper than Grayson. Dr. Wolfe said I just had to keep the baby in unitl 36 weeks so I have decided that we will have the baby next Monday (just kidding). He will stay in until at least 38 weeks unless something happens before then. Dr. Wolfe said he had no clue when the baby would be here because I am the most unpredictable patient he has. Here is to another week on bedrest.

Grayson's New Room Part 2

Well, his room is coming together quite nicely.

34 Week Appt.

Went to the doctor today, and no changes at all. He was glad. Said to just give him two more weeks please. I know he needs to stay in longer, but I am so tired of bed rest. I have been doing this for 4 weeks now. Here's to another week in the bed.

Update

I had a migraine last night, and I threw up all night long. This led to me having contractions once again. I went to the doctor this morning, and the contractions were just irritability from the throwing up. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced so they sent me home until Monday. We will see what happens then.

Grayson on the Farm

Grayson is staying at my parent's house some this week. Here are a few pics from his adventures there.

Going Crazy!!!!!!

Bedrest is driving me crazy. It has been 2 1/2 weeks so far. I have been reading a lot of books, and I joined Netflix. I went to the doctor Monday. He didn't check me for changes in dilation. Finley has been head down since the first time he checked me around 28 weeks. He is just hanging out. Doctor said he weighs at least 4 pounds if not more. He is a good size baby. I will be 33 weeks on Saturday, and they hope to keep him in there until 35 or 36 weeks. I still get my weekly shots of progesterone, and I am now on terbutaline for the contractions. The terbutaline is crazy medicine. It makes you not sleep, have hot flashes, superfast heartbeat, shaky, and out of breath. At least it only has to be taken every 6 hours. Hope everyone has a happy new years. We will be sitting at home since I have not been allowed to travel during the holidays.
