20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR? I remember the exact moment when I felt my first real contraction, but I wont be going into that. Labor started Wed 11pm and we drove to the hospital at 4am only to be told to go home until the contractions were 5min apart for 1/2 hour. By 1pm the next day, the pain in my back was so intense and would not go away so the Dr told me to come on in. Greg got stuck behind every slow driver on the road and as greg was pushing me in a wheel chair through the doors of the Emergency Room I had to tell a 90 year old couple to move to the side so Greg can get me through the door. I wasn't in a very good mood to say the least. After all that I didn't get my epideral for another 4 hours, right before my parents showed up at 5pm. Greg and my parents went to dinner at Chilies (thanks a lot guys : ) ) and I rested. I stopped dialating at 8cm and Bradens heart rate was droping to the 50s when I had a contraction but luckly would always come back up. I had to wear an oxygen mask which made my mouth sooo dry. I was finally ready to start pushing at 1am Friday morning and Braden was born at 3am...yeah

A Day in the Sun
Georgia has so many beautiful parks and hiking trails. We found this place a few months ago and love to come here when Greg has the day off.Friday, February 6, 2009
Rice Cereal
Braden at 5 months has his first taste of Rice Cereal. I think he liked it, although most of it ended up on his bib.
Beatles Mania Around Here
If Greg got his way, our sons' name would be JohnPaul George Davis, but I wasn't going to let that happen.... sorry fans of the name. Hannah seems to have taken on her dads' love for the Beatles. For her 16th Birthday she got a Beatles Monopoly game. Greg also got one for Christmas from mom Davis.

7. A funny moment on my mission was when my companion and I were eating dinner with a family in our church and the man of the house said that he had a hiatal hernia.

My companion looked at me, trying to hold a straight face and not laugh, but when I saw her I began to laugh, realizing what I said. What made it worse, the man was hard of hearing and said “what” and his wife yelled back to him “SPINCTER” and this continued a few more times. At this point my companion and me were laughing hysterically and had to apologize for being rude.
