The Davis Family: Baby Davis #2!!!

That's the most exciting news I've posted to the blog since sharing that we were expecting William! We are thrilled and very thankful to be expecting another child in late March. We've prayed about this baby for a long time and it honestly still seems surreal that we'll be adding another person to our family.

I'm currently 14w4d. We found out I was pregnant on Thursday July 17 and I started feeling nauseated that Saturday the 19th and it continued until I was 13 weeks pregnant. I never had any real nausea with William so that was definitely new. The nausea was usually worse in the morning so I took Zofran mid-morning, when necessary, and that helped a ton. I'm glad that's a thing of the past!

I had my first appointment on Friday August 8th and the baby was measuring 7w1d which was exactly what I expected. I was extremely nervous prior to the first appointment so seeing the baby's heartbeat was the biggest relief.

I had another appointment when I was 11w1d. Grant went with me because I was still nervous something may go wrong. The nurse practitioner came in to find/listen to the baby's heartbeat on doppler and couldn't find it at first. Dr. G then came in and also had trouble finding the heartbeat. He was about to send me for an ultrasound when he finally found it! HUGE sigh of relief. After a drama-free pregnancy with William, this little one is teaching me not all pregnancies are alike. Nonetheless, the heartbeat was perfect for a baby at 11 weeks.

12w5d baby

On Tuesday September 16, I had the routine first trimester screening ultrasound at UAB. Everything came back normal for that which led to these exciting pictures of the soon-to-be BIG Brother...
