Lot's of P Words...Part 2


I promised I would write a part two, and for those of you who are friends of mine on facebook you already know the gender news :) But for those of you who are only my friends in the blogging world...here are some more P's.

Penis! No, but really! Baby Davis has one :) and now we know it! Overshare? We have been solid on names since week 4 or 5. J and I know what we like and for the past few years I have been keeping a spreadsheet of baby first names and middle names {don't judge me} that I have heard that I absolutely love and didn't want to forget. So when we found out we were expecting we sat down and went through my spreadsheet. Hudson Fischer Davis is coming soon!

Now that we know the sex, we have started purchasing baby boy outfits and let me say...the selection is not as big for a boy like it is for a girl BUT there are some really stinkin cute baby boy clothes. And the hubbs likes clothes! He will be a mini J for sure....loafers, plaid wovens and slim fit jeans for sure.

We revealed the gender to J's family on Thursday with cupcakes filled with baby blue icing-and only his younger brother and his girlfriend guessed correctly. Everyone else thought girl! When I went home to Virginia to tell my family the plan was to get up Saturday morning and share the news over a Reichgott Style Family Breakfast {I capitalize this like a title because it is legend 'round these parts}. However, Friday morning I got up and was so anxious and excited to share the news with my family I just knew I couldn't wait until the NEXT morning! Plus I had almost slipped while talking to my mom on the phone like 5 times!

far away friends & family

So when I got home, we skyped my sister and her hubbs in from Indiana, had a Reichgott Style Family Brinner and had cake pops filled with blue cake {compliments of a gal I work with who makes the most DEvine cake pops!}The funniest part? There was one fluke pink cake pop in the bunch so my mom got the pink one and of course she was the one who bit into hers first so everyone is shouting it's a girl it's a girl and I'm like wait what??? No....no...it's a boy! it's a boy!! Haha a very funny story to share with Baby Hudson some day :)

Now that all the happy stuff is out of the way I have one more P I didn't share the other day and this one might suck the most. Pelvic Rest. Not bed rest...but PELVIC rest. Not sure what that means? Well for one thing it means absolutely no sex with my hubby. It also means that I can't do any heavy exercise except for walking and swimming and I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15/20 lbs. This last part is the most difficult for me because I have always been the type to just say I'll get it! And I feel completely helpless...which I do not do very well at all. But, I just have to keep reminding myself that everything I do {especially now} directly affects Hudson.

One more P and then I swear I'm done...POSITIVITY!!! Throughout this whole experience J and I have talked a lot and prayed even more. Knowing that God has a bigger plan and this is the way He meant it to be. It's bringing us closer together and making us rely on each other more which is more than I could ask for. I have realized I need to not be sad because at the end of the day, no matter HOW he gets here...baby Hudson will be healthy and in my arms and that is ultimately all that matters. Positive thoughts, Prayers and some other P's aside Hudson is a blessing and we wouldn't have it any other way!

    Yay! Congratulations! It's so exciting. I know what you mean, girls have way more choices, but there are lots of cute boy things, too. I told TJ about the no sex and he got this horrid look on his face and said, "Ever?!?" I couldn't help but laugh. I'm sure that it'll be worth it in the long run, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just remember you have to take care of yourself because you're a human incubator! I know it's hard sometimes, but it's all for Hudson. =] Congrats again! Only 20 more weeks until I find out if I'm having a girl or a boy, LOL!

    Thanks Christie! And Lindsey...you can tell him not...EVER just until further notice :( The Midwife told us very specifically we could still be intimate though {with examples}...haha which is one of the most awkward conversations I think I have ever had.

    Have y'all started picking out names?? Only 20 more weeks!!!!
