It finally happened!

Kylee is potty trained!!! Wahooooooo.. I am positive there will be accidents along the way but my baby girl is finally in big girl panties! I have to say that of course Patrick and I are way more excited about this than she is.. But she loves how excited we get everytime she potties!!!

On another note we have moved Makenna from the baby carseat into the big girl carseat. Still facing backwards, but I was over carrying the other and we feel this one will stay cooler (temp wise) for our trip up north! I feel like my girls are growing up so fast!!

The Last 6 months

Well I have to start off by apologizing for not updating the blog for the last 6 months. I just had no desire to get it done. I will try and make this as short as possible to get you all updated on the goings on of the Davidson family. Makenna Grace made her arrival just as scheduled on January 11,2010. It was a great delivery. She was a little peanut at just barely 6lbs 1oz. Kylee was amazing with her, she just gave her lots of love and has continued to be an amazing big sister. We could not have hoped for it to go any smoother! My parents and sister where there for the delivery this time which made it even more special. Im glad she came when she was supposed to so no one missed it.
I enjoyed my time off with Makenna. We got to have alot of bonding time while kylee remained in school. Once my maternity leave was over it was much harder for me to return to work this time. I felt the need and the want much more this time to stay home, however its just not in the cards at this point.
Just last month we were able to make it back to California for a 2 week visit. We hadn't been back as a family in almost 2 years. It was great to see our friends and family but it definitely made us miss everyone that much more. We were able to spend a week in Sonora and visit my family and see our niece Alex graduate high school. It was also the first time most had got to meet Makenna. We are so happy we were able to spend the time with everyone.
The following week we headed down to Visalia to spend some time with Patricks parents and his friends. We stayed with our dear fiends the Lorenzi's. Kylee had a blast playing all week with Emma (6) and Lily (3). The Lorenzi's hosted a bbq with all Patricks friends.. It was a great time and made it much easier on us to see everyone. We made it safely back to Atlanta with only a few issues. Makenna got the flu just before we left california. I was the only other one that caught it.
We have been spending time with our friends swimming and going to the lake and we are looking forward to our up coming trip to Illinois for Mike and Jenny's wedding. We can't wait to see everyone up there. So hopefully that sums it up for the last 6 months.. I will post some pictures soon.

38 weeks

So just a quick update. We are 38 weeks today and only 6 days left until Makenna arrives. We are hoping she holds on long enough for my parents and sister to be here this time for the delivery. So far so good. I am having alot of cramping but it comes and goes. Patrick is at work and kylee is at school and I am trying to take advantage of the peace and quiet. Its hard for me to imagine that in less than a week I will be a mother of 2 beautiful little girls! I think Kylee is starting to figure out things are changing. She has been an extreme momma's girl lately.. I am cherishing every second she cuddles with me. She is a joy to have as a daughter and I hope Makenna is half as lovely as Kylee and I will be the happiest mom ever!

T Minus 3 weeks

But Im definitely not counting! :) Im more than ready for miss Makenna to arrive.. Patrick has made a prediction of Jan 4 @ 3am. My C-section is Jan 11 @ 10am. My doctor thinks we will make it to the 11th and since patrick does not they have a friendly bet. If we do not make it til the 11th my doc will be providing us with a nice cold 12 pack. If we do make it til the 11th he told patrick to have a bottle of tequila in hand when we arrive at the hospital.. Obviously he won't receive it prior to my surgery! :) I only have 1 more day in the office and thursday I will be working from home! Its so nice to see the end in sight. These days I am very uncomfortable, and getting little sleep. We have prepared Kylee the best we can the rest is up to her.. We are hoping there will not be too many jealous moments but we can't predict! We didn't send out Christmas cards this year, but we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to sharing the news of Makenna's arrival!
