Ledger is HERE!

Ledger Grant Davenport

September 24th 2009

6lbs...10oz...19 inches

The day started out great as I headed to my scheduled 36 week appointment I was nervous as to what the day would bring but had a feeling that it would be okay.

The appointment went great not dialated good to go and baby would be fine from here on out so I was so happy for that but still scared because of the previous births hadn't been!

My mom and I had a very good lunch with desert and the works at Chilis then headed home! I sat down and was working on my towels when the contractions I had been having off and on got really painful I took my contraction med and sat down and tried to relax but the pain just got worse and they got closer and closer together so I woke up Len and we rushed down to Mckay Dee to see what was going on the moon was neat a halloween moon if he wasn't born in October I will never forget the drive down and the moon shining above!

They said if I wasn't in real labor there meds would stop it so they gave me some and watched an waited which seemed like an eternity when you are in pain, the meds didn't work so she checked and I was at a 3. They then decided Ledger was coming and admitted me to a room where I had no pain med until I was at 5 plus. I layed anxious scared and excited to meet my little boy.

He arrived that morning at 12:30 and I was blessed with getting to see and hold my baby on my belly for the first time not wisked away. His hand wrapped around my finger.

They monitored him for around 4 hours and after that he was all fine and mine I was in heaven no nicu! He was perfect and so cute he was in my room and I was in shock my wish had come true. Thanks to the Doctor I seen we were able to keep my baby in until he was near full term.

Looking back as I hold you:

I sat holding you for about 2 hours in the middle of the night and thinking of the months I was so sick I couldn't hold my head up or keep anything down.

I thought about how there was negative things said about me being pregnant again and if I should have another one.

I thought about how I cried when I found out you were a boy and felt guilty cause how cute and perfect you are!

I thought of the shots I took that at first made me dizzy, naueseous, cranky and the weeks that past.

Then the bed rest when all I wanted to do was get ready for you to come by fixing your room and getting small projects done around the house before you came.

Looking back I would do it all again the months were long the days were exciting.. my appointments excitning seeing you everytime! I have been blessed with you my sweet little boy Ledger!

Baby Land Heaven!

Ledgers baby room is up and I love it! This is my first time being in my own house and getting to do a baby room that it was like having the first baby for me! I really challenged myself with painting the Palm tree and monkey on the wall! I never have painted on the wall before and love the way it turned out and happy! I am 35 wks and 5 days doing so well thanks to my doc and the medicines they have now to keep you from going into labor and preterm! So here in a few weeks we will get to meet our little Ledger~



I picked out the chair cover and had my mom sew it for me she did a great job it is so cute! The chair was Oak and she spray painted it Expresso to match so perfect!!

My Palm tree I painted and the Giraffe I seen in Jcpennys and had to have him so cute and realistic looking~

From the door BABY HEAVEN!!!

LeDgErs Baby Shower!

The Baby shower invite I made on my scrapbook program!

So the shower day finally came after months of preparation and excitement! I rented the senior center in Mt. View. One of my Best Friends Michelle decorated all the tables and planned the games and prizes, she did such a great Job we played the diaper game guess what chocolate is melted in there. Baby food guess, ice cube water breaks with little Binky's frozen in Ice cubes and guess how big my belly is with string. It was fun. My sister made the cake and I helped decorate it. My sis n law Jennifer, mom and girls made chocolate animal cookies, chicken salad sandwiches and apple/snicker desert so good to die for!!! I had a great day and even though I missed seeing some of my best friends that couldn't make it thought it turned out well and Ledger got really spoiled.

Maternity Pic's!

So this was my first time having pictures done while I was pregnant by a professional. I must say it is one of the neatest things to do while you are pregnant. My kids had fun and even my husband wasn't grouchy about doing it, that is a miracle getting a man to take pics and be happy doing it!!!A great friend Mandy Reger came to my house and set up her equipment and took the pics here at my house and in my yard. I had such a great time and felt so special! I love the pictures she is so talented and creative! I can't Thank her enough for these. They have brought me lots of joy with this pregnancy since it is my last one. She helped make it very memorable and special I will treasure always!~ Thank you!!!

BridGeR Lake Camp OuT

We finally have a camper we can go camping in! After 3 long years of owning a 39ft fifth wheel we finally got a deal that would could handle and said goodbye to the house on wheels! We had purchased it mainly for Leonard who at the time was running are Welding Buisness Davenport Welding and needed it to live in and room for us if were to go with...but since then it has just sat in are yard we have only used it twice. Since then it has been 2 years at this new job as a Mechanic at General Chemical Soda Ash mine on surface and runs are welding buisness on the side! The beautiful large camper was really nice large but just literally to big to take anywhere! So we headed out after just a week with our new camper to the mtns and had lots of fun around the campfire at Bridger Lake up in the Unitas's by State Line Dam. We had so much fun roasting so mores and fishing! Brendan is my little fisherman and caught and released 16 fish! He just loves to catch them and eat when mom fries them in butter and lemon. My sisters girls came along and we all laughed and had a good time till we fell asleep in our new little guy camper! It was a great day!
