Maya with her family and friends

Here are some pictures of Maya with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and friends. We are waiting for photos of Maya with some very special people and we will be adding them as soon as we get some. For now I am just too excited and have to post what I have.

Maya is 4 days old!!!

Maya and Mom are doing great. They are amazing together and have been working so hard on the breast feeding process. Maya was a sleepy eater for a while and she was having trouble getting a good latch. Maya ws loosing a little too much weight so we started to add the fun procedure of pumping milk as a supplement. The girls have been working away at it and we just got home from the Petiatricians office and her weight is back up and she is doing great! Grandma Sandy took some amazing pictures that we want to share with you. Thank you for all your love and support.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Maya Rose Davis was born on January 6, 2009 at 3:33 am. She weighed in at a whopping 8lbs-10oz. She is healthy and so beautiful. We were so surprised to have a baby girl as Liz and I always thought it would be a boy. She could not be more perfect and we are all so in love. We came home from the hospital yesterday and are adjusting well to being home together. We want to thank everyone for all there love and support.

the waddle at 38 wks

It's been great to be at home this week! I imagined, to some degree, watching movies, taking naps, hanging some photos in the baby's room etc. I should know better....my to-do list started strong and I am pretty tied to it. Lots has gotten done and I powered through some long days. So, in the week to come, my goal is to rest more. I've been making sure I walk each day (two laps & a walk up the stairs at the park next door takes me a full 30 minutes!) My to-do list is getting shorter and I'm more and more ready to fall asleep in the middle of the day to my book or some Netflix movies.

I can't believe we are at 38 weeks....and are about to be parents! It's hard to wrap my mind around, really.

I don't have a fab-o photo of this last week but can you imagine a penguin walking? Yeah, my waddle feels just about like that! :) That's what happens when you have a small little babes inside that is about 7 lbs and 19 inches long (approx). Can't wait to see your little face, Peanut!

clif bar style

I was fooled! Katherine set up a meeting for us weeks ago. She titled the meeting "Clif Kid Shipping Strategies" and then today told me she was ready with an agenda and everything. Its not surprising that she is so organized but the seriousness of her "agenda" this late in the year and right before my leave should have clued me in. I walked into conference room #4 and was greeted by friends, streamers, gifts and frozen yogurt! Surprise!

I am really touched. While I don’t think I will really miss Excel worksheets and staring at a computer most of the day, the people at Clif really make this place what it is. It will be odd not to greet everyone in the pod each morning or cruise over to Creative & Ops to visit my pals there. Its been a total treat to have Sophia here and I will miss our walks to get fresh air and lunch & of course, I will miss my K9 pals Buckley and Janie Sparkles.

Thank you all so much. Looking forward to seeing who will be right in the guessing game of whether Baby Davis is little boy or girl and of course when he/she decides to make it into this world. Looking forward to seeing one another over the next months out of the office!

(pictures- balloons and 1 baby belly ...fun in the Clif yoga room!)

36 weeks!

Whew! I feel like I can finally take a breath. I am wrapping things up at work and the past "crunch time" weeks feel good to have behind me. Josh and I are making good progress at the house and the little Peanut's room is lookin good (pictures soon, promise). Above are a few pics- one is of me, Sophia and Sarah at the Clif holiday party (wow- you can really see the full effect of the belly in that printed dress!). There is another shot of the belly from last week (with Sophia and Karen's hand on it) and then I had to throw in a picture of my 1st load of baby laundry- wow- tiny little clothes that will soon go on a little baby- wild!

shout out to the ladies....

What a great afternoon! Big ol' high-fives to my girls for the baby shower this past weekend. Jess, Soph, Karen, Sarah (amazing to have her in town from Seattle) and Jen (thanks for letting us all gather at your house!) had a really nice shower for me on Sat. It was perfectly casual, there was yummy food and the warmth, support & love was really nice. All three Grandma's-to-be were there plus some other fam, pals from work, college, camp days etc- it was nice to have everyone all gathered. Gracias for creating such a nice day (& of course to everyone for all the amazing gifts!) see pics above:)

We are in week 35 and evidently, little Peanut is about 5.5 lbs and around 18 inches long (evidently that is about the size of a honeydew...?) Holy moly! I am definitely starting to slow down and look forward to when work things calm down by next week- all I really want to do is be at home nesting and organizing (oh- I did my 1st load of baby laundry this last week- SO crazy to be folding all those tiny little outfits and socks!). Josh has been a master at all the house projects- there are still some items to get but the baby room is really shaping up and looks great- when the crib etc is all set up- ill post a pic. Nice work Sweets!

I also have to give a shout-out to my Pops since its his birthday today! Happy Happy Dad- Love you and am so grateful for you. XO
