Reece saying "hi"

Reece jabbering

Some of my family and friends have not been able to open the pictures I have emailed to them of Reece. So I am going to post as many as I can for them.

coming to an end for now

well I must say to those that read my blog that are not on facebook that I am sorry. Facebook is just so much easier and faster for me to keep others informed. So as of now that is where I will keep people up to date about baby Reece and post pictures. If you do not have a facebook I highly recommend signing up. It isn't hard or time consuming unless you choice for it to be. If you would like for me to keep you informed by email I would be happy to just send me an email ( jtdavis@dekalbk12.org) so that I am certain to have the correct email address for you. Thanks to all for the loving comments!

update and pictures

Hard to believe that my sweet baby girl Reece is a week old today! My family is so blessed! Praise be to the Lord God Almighty for his blessings....... I am starting to feel some better, but still have a high fever with chills and sweats. I was given a Whooping Cough vaccine before I left the hospital and I looked up the side effects of it and I have almost every single one! Please pray that is a simply fix so I can enjoy this precious time with baby I will never have again. Below are some pictures. Enjoy and thanks for everything!

It's a girl

Reece Annalee Davis was born on November 13, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. She weighed 6 pounds and 7 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long. She and I got home at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, November 16th. We are both doing great! Thank you all for your prayers. I will do my best to post more pictures later. If you have a facebook account look me up at "Jennifer Tullis Davis" I have more pictures there.

still waiting

The count down has begun...... 16 days and counting until sweet baby Reece will be here... or at least that is when she is "scheduled" to arrive. My doctor said she has dropped and is sitting right there face down ready to go! I have thinned, but cervix is still just at 1. He doesn't want to move up the date for my c-section just so baby Reece can gain some more weight. I just think that she HAS to weigh more than what they think. I just can't see how she only weighs 4 pounds and 10 ounces!!!! Feels more like 9 pounds!!!!! LOL

Mom takes me back to the doctor Monday the 9th....I am interested to see what changes have taken place!

Thank you all for the calls and emails....

update and prayer request

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately... I have just been updating on facebook and then remembered that some that follow my blog are not on facebook... sorry!!!

I am on bed rest or as I like to call it "house arrest" until baby Reece gets here. My doctor is going to do a c section (due to my previous back surgery) on Monday, November 23rd at noon... Please say a prayer for us if you can! That will put me at 38 weeks, so we pray she stays in until then.

I have to admit that bed rest is helping. I haven't had anymore contractions. I give out quickly and if I lift or stay on my feet too much my blood pressure goes up and my back feels like it is going to break into......

I am broken hearted that I didn't get to say goodbye to my sweet Fourth graders.... I just love and adore them so much. I was not expecting to leave them this early! I know they are in wonderful hands... God sent the perfect person to do my leave.... I am so thankful for her!

All my church family and co workers have been so precious emailing, calling, and sending food! Thank you all so much!!!!!!!

I also have to say that I am so blessed with the most giving mother in the world. Oh how I love her~~ Glory and praise the Lord God Almighty for allowing me to still have her here with me and for all her love, help, and support!!!!!!!! She is having to take off work once a week now to take me to the doctor, but I have to admit I love it.... It is so nice to spend that one on one time with her.... even if most of it is her gripping about how much she HATES driving in Huntsville....LOL

And of course my precious husband... wow I don't even know where to begin. He is the most amazing man and I am so blessed and honored to be his wife. (To my mother and father in law- you are wonderful parents that raised an exceptional man and I thank you so much for it.) He sacrifices so much for me and the kids. I know just driving to Huntsville once a week is so exhausting... but my sweetheart does it every day! Then he comes home and is always right there to help with fixing something to eat, helping with homework, or just loving me! Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed when I think about him..... I am so thankful that God chose on September 29, 2008 to keep my husband alive and to heal his broken body and now a year later we are about to welcome a child into our lives..... wow God is so wonderful and worthy of all the praise!!!! Scott I love you completely!!!!!!!!

I have a special favor to ask also. Please pray for my brother Duane. I am so worried about him. He is extremely depressed and feels as though he has nothing to live for..... we as Christians know this isn't true.... deep down I know he knows it also. The devil has gotten such a hold of him! Please pray for him...... he is living a life of such regret, but God can and will heal that pain. Pray that he asks for and accepts God's forgiveness and mercy and that he will forgive himself!

Also remember: Randell Black, my sweet friends Deedra and Karri, my cousins Danny and Rita during his healing process, my precious cousin Farrah, and my grandmother health.

Thank you all for your love and prayers

fun events!

With the scare of contractions and having to be put on bed rest for a while, along with TG having swine flu I have gotten pretty down. BUT God is so good and good things are happening among all the other. Our black lab (Lucy) gave birth to eleven precious puppies on Oct. 14th. Anyone wanting a puppy please let me know.... they will be going for free in about 6 to 8 weeks! They are only part lab.... but soooo cute! There are 5 black, 2 brown, and 4 black and white.

Another wonderful event was the baby shower that my friends/ coworkers gave me! They are all so precious to me and I am so thankful to work with wonderful people! Here are a few of the pictures.

I am just 33 weeks and need to make it to at least 36 weeks before I deliver so much prayer is needed. I hope that I can work a couple more weeks and not have to stay on bed rest... I have to say, shockingly enough, it isn't FUN! I would much rather be able to do something!

4D pictures

I cannot believe how amazing technology is today! The 4D video ultrasound I had today was beyond amazing! I so can't wait to kiss and love on my sweet baby girl. I am measuring 33 1/2 weeks, but by my conception date says I am right at 31 weeks. LOL Go figure that my baby would be so confusing! Doctor is going to do another ultrasound either Oct 15th or 29th to check her weight and length. She is a big girl that is for sure! He said she can come anytime after Nov. 15th~ now to play the waiting game....... keep us in your prayer!



Reece just sleeping away!

one year!

It is hard to believe that the following was my first post about how my families life had been "changed forever". I am including my original post to explain why September 29th changed everything! I never would have thought that one year later I would be about 7 weeks away from delievering our baby girl..... God is so good! My hubby still has a good bit of pain in he ankle and wrist. He still limps a little, but he is alive and well. Thank you for your prayers, please keep them coming!

My blog last year:


REASON FOR TITLE: Our family was forever changed on Monday, September 29, 2008 at 7:20 p.m. Taylor Grace and I had just finished our shower and were getting ready to read a book. I had just told Tommy to get ready to take a practice spelling test. We all climbed up on my bed when the phone rang. I looked at the clock realizing the Scott should have been home, but he told me he would be late. He purchased a motorcycle to drive back and forth to work due to the gas prices. So I knew I couldn't reach him on his phone. He always calls and lets me know he is on his way. I figured it was him called to tell me what time exactly he would be home. As I looked at the caller ID I didn't recongize the number and almost didn't answer it. As I said hello a wonman said my name and told me hers. She said she was with my husband Scott. At first I thought "what is this woman doing with my husband?" lol then she said words that I will never forget. She told me to " stay calm but Scott had been in an accident." I didn't even know what to say.... I began asking her if he was ok and she said he was alive, but needed to go to the hospital. She put the phone close to him and he was telling me he loved me and that he thought he better go to the hospital to get checked out and for me to be careful on my way there. Then the woman came back on the line and told me to come to Jackson County hospital. The kids and I quickly got ready and hurried out of the house. As I was driving I called my mom and had her to meet me at the river bridge in Scottsboro. As I was on my way to meet her the policeman called me to get some information about my husband. He then informed me that they were air lifiting my husband to Huntsville Hospital. I completely lost it!!!!!! I knew things were a lot worse that I thought. I dropped the kids off told them I love them kissed them and headed over the bridge. I called my mother and father-in-law. As I was talking to my mother-in-law I topped the bridge and I saw police lights... my heart sank and I began crying uncontrobably.. I had to let her go. I knew that was where the wreck happened. As I drove through I was looking for the motorcycle and imagining where my husband had been.... it was heart wrenching.... I continued on praying that he would be ok. I prayed that his injuries would be no more than broken bones. As I got to the hosptial my husbands best friend L was there. I am so thankful for him! He is the best! I went to the nurses desk and they told me they knew nothing except he was alive. That was great news but still not enough...... It was 8:30 p.m. My husbands parents, his best friend L and myself sat there waiting. Finally at 10:45 p.m. the nurse cam eto get me to take me to him. I had no idea what to expect. As I entered the room I saw his right leg laying very strange and his foot just dangling. His right arm was wrapped up and he had a neck brace on. He had many scraps and cuts. Then I walked up to the bed and looked over at his face... there I saw the most beautiful thing I had ever seen... my husband smile at me and tell me he loved me. I just kept kissing him and telling him how much Ilove him! We talked and then took turns letting L and mom and dad-in-law come back. At 1:00 a.m. the doctors came in to set his arm and ankle. That wasn't fun!!! Then we got moved to a room upstairs at 3:00 a.m. As we sat there together he began to tell me about what happened. He had just turned onto Hwy 35 off of HWY 72 in Scottsboro headed towards Henagar he stopped at the red light at the car wash. As he went on he saw a car coming up to the stop sign at K and K trailor park. The car was moving quickly and he didn't think she was going to stop. He slowed down to about 40 mph. He saw her brake lights come on so he moved over to the left lane thinking she was going to stop. Oh but she didn't! The next thing he knew she was plowing into his right side and sent him skidding down the highway 80 feet into on coming traffic. The motocycle went on off the other side of the highway into the ditch. They put him in an ambulance and took him over to Home Depot. He then was put into Med Flight and taken to Huntsville.He had surgery at 2:30p.m. on Tuesday, September 30, 2008. As my mother-in-law sat together I thought about how much I loved him and how I was so thankful he was alive and praying he made it through surgery. By God's grace he did and the doctor said he did a number on his wrist. On his right arm he broke both bones in his arm at the wrist, three bones in the hand, busted all his knuckles. On his right leg he broke his tibia, his ankle, and his toes. He has 2 medal rods in his arm, a pin, and an external fixator-which is four screws put into his arm that is hooked to a medal bar outside his arm. He also has screw in his ankle that attached it back to his leg. The good news is: NO INTERNAL INJURIES!!! This is only by the grace of God! He should have by every right been dead. I am so thankful for God's blessing and grace on our family. We spent 5 nights in the hospital. Which if you have ever done was a total nightmare. We finally got home and settled in as best as possible. My mom and mom-in-law have been simply amazing. I am so blessed to have them. Thank you sweet Jesus for them and their love for you! Hubby can feed himself but that is about it..... I have to do everything for him, but I don't care. I have him with me. That is all that matters to me! The kids have really changed. It really scared them. They are both really sensitive and emotional, but for the most part really amazing! They are helping me greatly. I love them both so much. They are wonderful, respectful, loving, helpful, beautiful people. God thank you so much for the blessing of these children and I pray for your protection on them. So I ask all that read this to please pray for the healing of my hubby S and strength for myself and the kids T and TG. Our lives have forever been changed, but I know that God has an amazing plan for our lives.

getting closer!

well the swollen feet and ankles has just now set in...... such fun I must say!!!!! I have a praise report- I had to take the horrible 4 hour sugar test but praise the Lord my levels came back normal! It is so hard to believe I only have about 8 more weeks before my little "Reece Annalee" will be here! I still haven't gained much weight which I am totally excited about. She is such an active little girl...... my belly jumps and rolls just about all day long. When I am down for the night she really likes to show out! :) It is such a precious feeling (except for those kicks to the bladder and ribs) !

I am excited about my baby shower at my church (Breakthrough Church of God) on Sunday, October 4th! After it I hope to get everything put up in some sort of order before little Reece gets here.

I go back to the dr. on Oct 1st so I will keep you all posted!

my love to all!

Baby shower #1

Today was my first baby shower. In a way that sounds so weird to say since I have two children...... but this is the first baby "I" have given birth to! I must admit getting the other two was much easier....:) But I wouldn't take anything for this amazing experience. I want to say thank you to Amy, Maria, and Teresa for putting this shower together. It was so wonderful to spend the day with friends that I grew up with throughout my life. We just don't get to see each other enough. They are such a blessing in my life.

As I began to go through everything when I got home it hit my of how blessed I am. I still cannot believe that I will have a precious baby to put in all these cute clothes on in just a few months!

I also want to say thank you to a few that could not make it to the shower but sent me gifts. Thank you Nancy Gann Graham, Suzanne Anderson, and Amy Anderson Robertson! Your thoughtfulness means so much!

party and baby update

Sorry it has been a while.... Back to work has hit like a ton of bricks on this pregnant lady! I kept wondering why all of the sudden my belly just began to stick out greatly and feel like it gets where I am going 5 minutes before the rest of me does.... then when I got to the dr this past week I found out. This baby girl already weighs 3 pounds! I am measuring 2 1/2 weeks early. We finally decided on a name: Reece Annalee Davis. Glad to finally have that done! So glad that she is healthy. The dr said my last day will be November 13th. He said she can come anywhere between Nov 15-27th!!!! I am more and more about having a C-section due to my back. For those that didn't know I had back surgery in 2004. I have done wonderful since, but I must say that those days have past. I am really hurting and I know as baby Reece gains weight it will get worse. The thoughts of back labor just make me want to cry! My prayer is that she is healthy.....

My Grandma Jo turn 82 this past weekend. I am so thankful God blessed us with another year of life with her. Her health has not been well the past month. She is going back to the heart dr in Gadsden to check to see if she has another blockage. Please pray that God continues to bless her health and is around to love my baby as she loved me! I just love these pictures. She looks so happy!

been a while

well I seem to be playing catch up with everything!!!!

Baby Reece is doing well. She weighs almost 2 pounds :) I go back to the dr on Sept 4th! She is very active which I am happy about because it lets me know she is there. I am feeling much better and my energy level is getting higher! PTL

Big T and TG are both at Ider now.... it is strange going to Moon Lake to work each day and not have my children with me, but it is also a relief. I like to be able to come home and find out all about their day instead of someone else telling me at school before I can talk to them! TG just loves getting on the bus.... she is sooooo funny! Both have wonderful teachers and have really enjoyed school thus far! Them being at Ider will help so much while I am out with the baby. I never thought I would be a "bus" fan, but I am hooked now!!!!! lol

I have really enjoyed my past few days at work. I have 17 students (only 6 boys!!!) and they have been a pure joy! I am sad that I will have to be away from them for a few months, but I am thankful that I can take a little time off and spend with baby Reece!

Please pray from my grandmother. He health is going down hill and she just really doesn't want to put forth much effort into life! It just breaks my heart. She will be 81 this September. I am so thankful to have had her in my life this long, but selfishly I want her around my sweet new baby!

finally!!!!

IT'S A GIRL...... I have to say I am still in some shock... I have been feeling her move (a lot ) but it just didn't hit me until today!!!!! I am so blessed!!!!!! She is 1 pound and 2 ounces and VERY active. Doctor said everything looked wonderful and I had a very healthly little girl. Praise be to the Lord God Almighty!!!!!!

Well the baby is moving..... A LOT!!!!! BUT I love it.... today "it" got in a knot on my left side and I couldn't get "it" to move! LOL already a stinker... like "its" dad! :) I go back to the baby dr on August 4th and my ob promised me he would try as hard as he could to tell me what
"it" is.... so just as soon as I know I will pass along the news. The baby shower that Bridgett, Carissa, Farrah, and my church are giving will be on Sunday, October 4th from 2:00-4:00 so keep your calendar free on that day! I just want everyone to come share in my excitement!

I also want to say that I am so blessed with wonderful in-laws! I don't get to see them much but I love them so much and I am so thankful for them!

scared me!

It all started really late SAturday night I began cramping...I thought I had just over done it and continued to rest but as the early morning came I was feeling worse... I got up Sunday morning to go the the bathroom and got very sick.... this all continued throughout Monday.... I called my doctor and the nurse said I had probably done too much and keep resting since I was not bleeding... Tuesday morning I had it... I couldn't take the pain anymore... I headed straight to Huntsville to the doctor... he checked out my cervix and it had shortened so he was afraid I was contracting so he sent me straight over to the hospital..... I was hurting so bad I really didn't ever feel scared until the nurse came in to listen to the baby with the doppler and we kept searching and searching but no heartbeat.... finally we heard it..... then the baby kicked at the doppler and started on the move again... the little stinker would not be still for anything..... :) they gave me some medicine for the cramping and hooked me up to the monitor..... the cramps had already eased up greatly by that time. Thankful no contractions! But my white cell count was up so the doctor wants to keep me overnight to hydrate me and make sure things go ok and I can keep food down.... well I ate supper..... but no luck not even 30 minutes after I ate it was gone. The doctor said I have an intestinal viral infection. NO FUN!!!!! It just had to run its course...... WEdnesday morning I kept down my breakfast and my lunch and three and 1/2 IV 's later he decided to let me go home. I do feel some better. Eating is still very difficult for me. I go back in 2 weeks for another check up...

help!

ok I need help... I have two house cats- pete (boy- fixed and declawed) and oreo (girl- fixed and I am willing to pay to get her declawed). They are great with our kids and very used to them. But due to certain circumstances I am must find them a new home. I really don't want to seperate them, they are so used to each other. They have never been "outside" so their new home needs to be someone that will allow them to stay "inside"cats. If you know of ANYONE that would be kind enough to give my precious cats a new home please let me know. I will be happy to supply a litter box, full bag of litter, and bag of cat food....... I have pictures if you would like to see them!

thanks for your help!

Fathers day trip

Hubby decided he wanted to go to the Tennessee Aquarium and to Outback for Father's Day. So off we went! It was hot but fun!!!! I love you and I am so thankful for you. You are an amazing father!

I know I know

Yes I know it has been a while since I have posted anything.... I am telling you what all those that have been pregnant and were not sick you are very blessed!!! I am so looking forward to having a baby but man this being sick it getting to me!!!!! I am starting to get a good bit of energy back, but eating is terrible! I went to the doctor on June 11th.... this little stinker didn't want its heartbeat to be heard. Everytime the nurse tried to find it we would hear it for just a second and then ---woosh--- it was gone! Finally it decided to settle down and it was about 150 beats. Due date has been changed to December 4th. I go back on July 9th. I really want to find out what this little one is that day, but not sure if we will get to. I might have to wait until the first week of August. For those that know me understand that is FOREVER from now! My precious friend Bridgett called wanting me to know she and my precious cousin Carissa wanted to throw me a baby shower! How sweet are they!!!! I just love them to pieces. I know your thinking "baby shower planning this early?" well were are all teachers and when school begins things get so busy that we have to plan anything we can during the summer so we can stay somewhat sane during the school year! LOL ( if it is possible to stay sane and teach! ) Some of you may be wondering why I am having a shower since this is my third child and why I haven't mentioned being sick with my other two kids.... well my son (was my nephew) I adopted when he was five. TG is my step -daughter. So I guess you could say I got the first two the easy way. So this may be our third child, but the first child I have actually carried.... btw this will be it for the Davis family! LOL Three is plenty- since I usually have anywhere between 16-21 kids all day 5 days a week from August to May!

Both kids are have been saving money to go to Camp Utopia close to Birmingham. This is the Church of God camp that our church association uses. It is amazing and I can't wait for our children to experience God's power! Please pray for their safety and that God would speak and lead them to His will for their lives.

Well I have talked about nothing long enough... my love to all!
