The Great Elk Hunt!

Well, there is no Baby Andrew yet, but we have a huge 380" bull Elk that will be coming to the Davis residence and going up on the wall soon. Tom traveled to Idaho last week and fulfilled his goal of taking an elk with a bow. He donated 250lbs. of meat to Hunters for the Hungry in Idaho, which provides meals for the homeless. We have 150lbs. of Elk meat at our house, so please, call us if you want to come over for dinner, PLEASE!!! I've never eaten Elk before, but it is supposed to be wonderful!

As for updates on the baby, I've gone to the doctor twice in the last two weeks and there have been no changes, no dilation, but Andrew is still growing and has a great heartbeat! I'm starting to experience some slight swelling in my hands and my fingers are numb on my right side. If you haven't received a thank you note from me, that's why, it's hard to write when your fingers are numb. I know I'm getting close to the end, only 2 weeks, hopefully!

Baby Showers!

We have been blessed to have wonderful people host 2 recent baby showers for us, one in Tyler and one in Dallas! Andrew's nursery is basically finished and I'm having fun putting all of his things away. Below are pictures from both showers.

Ultrasound Video

Here is the video of Andrew from the 3D ultrasound we went to last Friday. I'm so thankful that they finally burned it on to the DVD correctly! Can't believe he is going to be here in a month and a half!

3D Ultrasound update

The ultrasound was wonderful to see! He has grown so much! We were a little disappointed because they did most of it in 2D and were expecting 3D/4D. She did switch it over to 3D for a couple of parts. We got to see his precious face in 3D and he is so cute! We are 100% sure that he is a boy, for some reason she did that part in 3D too! They burned me a CD of what they looked at, but when I got the CD home, they didn't put things on there correctly and the CD was empty. I called them and they are going to burn a new DVD next week. I'm really praying that they get it right the second time! I'll post a photo next week. Some of you know that I was a little worried that they might find something wrong, I've become such a worrier. Thanks for your words of encouragement!

3D Ultrasound!

I went to the doctor on Monday for my latest OB appointment. My mom came with me to hear the heartbeat. I tried talking my doctor into an ultrasound since my mom was there and we haven't seen anything since week 20 when we found out we were having a boy. She told me that she couldn't do an ultrasound then, but that she needed a "guinea pig" for a 3D ultrasound machine that their practice is thinking about buying and their rep is coming Friday to demo it for them. Of course, I said I would do this! I'm very excited to see a more in depth picture of our little boy because this is something that Tom and I were not going to do otherwise. I just ask that you would pray for a healthy little Andrew that we see in there tomorrow. They are supposed to give us a picture or something, so I will post it tomorrow.

Lots of updates!

I know it has been forever since I have updated this! Over the last month we have picked a name out for our sweet baby boy, Andrew Thomas. I have "retired" from teaching Kindergarten for Plano ISD for the past 6 years, and we have started decorating Andrew's room. We have also had 2 baby showers, one from my coworkers and another from my wonderful class this year. Here are some pictures of everything!

Tom's New Baby Toy

Tom thought it would be nice to get our son his first "big boy" toy! I'm not so sure about the idea. It's upstairs in the gameroom, but is still very loud. For those of you that know Tom, he's a great drummer. Not sure what the baby is going to think!
