Happy Father's Day

This is for two really great Fathers in my life.... Ferrell and my Dad!! We met Sug and Pops in Tifton for Father's Day, and it was wonderful!! Before that, Ferrell and Grant enjoyed some Daddy and son time resting! I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful dad, and such a fabulous husband and father for our son. This love I feel is only minute compared to the love our Heavenly Father feels for us.... I know I take it for granted daily- but I'm learning more and more each day with Grant!! So, to all of the wonderful, Godly dads out there (that means you too Matt!!), have a Happy Father's Day!!!

He's Growing!!

Hey Everyone! Grant had his two week check up last week, and weighed 9 lbs! He's changing so much everyday... It's hard to believe sometimes he's really here! He's truly God's little miracle for us, and we are having so much fun.... sleep or not! He sleeps about 4 hours a time at night, and does well staying awake during the day. Here are a few pics I took in the last few days- I'll try to do better keeping up with the blog!!

Grant Davidson Soles

Hey Everyone!! We don't have long, but we wanted to let everyone know Grant arrived safe and sound on Thursday, May 15th at 7:05p.m. He was 8 lbs 9 ozs and 21 inches long. I've attached one picture I borrowed from Jamie- I'll post more as soon as we get them. We are all doing well- a little tired, and very thankful!!! Thank you all for your prayers to get him here safely- You never know how appreciated they are!!! We love you all!!!!

Hallelujah!!!

Well, we have some news!! No, Grant isn't here yet, but it won't be long! We went to the doctor today, and we talked about Grant's size and weight. I asked if there was any way to move us up a week, given his size as of last week. He said he was going to talk to us about it, and see what we decided! Being a mutual decision between me and the Doc, we decided not to wait an extra week. So, if we don't have him before, they are going to induce me on Sunday night- Yes, that's FIVE days from now!!! They start the process on Sunday night, and we go from there!!! Thank you all for your prayers- I'm convinced that's the only thing that kept him in there thus far, and please pray for a safe delivery!! We'll update as things progress... I have a sonogram Friday to make sure he is still in position and check his weight again, and then there's no holding back!!!

Ok.... Here goes.....

Hey! Well, we are of course still pregnant. Grant was about 7lbs12oz in the sonogram, give or take a pound. He is practice breathing now (which helps his lungs when he is born), and everything looked great!! The doctor said if I had not had him by May 25 (Sunday), he will induce me that night. Isn't it amazing we were worried about him showing up early, and now he doesn't want to come at all!! I'm still progressing, and he took me off bed rest. I can do what I feel like doing (as long as I don't push myself too much). Maybe that will get him a little motivated!! So, the good news is, we have an end date. If he doesn't make it before, we'll have him Memorial Day. If he comes early, that will be fine too!! Just wanted to give an update- Now is the fun time, and trying to get as much rest as possible before he arrives. We can't wait to meet him- maybe he'll come a little early!!!:):)

Please!!!!

Hi Everyone!! We are going to measure and weigh Grant on Tuesday, and Dr. Mordel said we would talk then (about the plans for him). He's already a bit bigger than he should be, so I'm anxious to see how much weight he has gained. After my appt this past Tuesday, mom took a few pics of me in the front yard, and I'll post some. And yes, that is my real belly- no stuffing required!! I hope we get some great news Tuesday- I would love to hold and love Grant for Mother's Day- wouldn't that be the greatest gift ever!!! As soon as we hear something definitive, I'll send it on!!! Also, thank you so much to my sweet cousin and sis in love- they posted such sweet things about me and Baby Grant- it made my day!! Thank you so much- it brightened my mood immensely!!

How Much Longer?????

Hmmmmm.... That seems to be the going question these days!! We are 35 weeks now, and go to the doctor tomorrow. It's funny, when you are on bedrest, you look forward to getting "dressed up" for a doctor's visit. Sad, huh!! We are doing great though- Grant is growing daily, and he is healthy. That's all we can ask for! It might be three more days, or three more weeks, only God knows. But, we do know God knows exactly what Baby Grant needs, and we are learning patience as we've never known right now! Mom has been wonderful, as she has been down here 99% of the time, doing everything I can't do right now. Grant will be her reward- she can't wait either! :) Thank you all for your prayers and encouagement during this time- it means so much to us. If we have any "news" tomorrow, we'll post it for you. And, Grant's name will be Grant Davidson Soles- Davidson is a family name. We love you!!!
