Naming a child is Stressful!

So we have posted the poll above because Matt and I can't quite come to an agreement on Ella's middle name. Hopefully all two of you who look at our blog can help us out.
The name Ella comes from my grandmother who we lost last summer. Her name was Eloise and she was one of the most amazing women I know. She knew I was going to name my little girl after her one day so when she began her battle with cancer she decided to make each grandchild a baby afghan for her future great grandchildren. Everyone's was neutral colors except she made mine pink for Ella.

GRAYSON RHODES DAVIS

Go to my sister and brother-in-law's blog to see our adorable litte nephew. I can't wait for his arrival in October! Those 3D sonograms are amazing!

BABY VITART IS A...

The doctor's appointment went great! Baby Girl Vitart weighed in at a whopping 8 ounces. The doctor said she is a petite little girl. There are no abnormalities and everything looks perfect. She is a very calm baby! Hopefully it will stay that way. We are very excited!!

Shout-out to Microtek

I just want to send a shout-out to all our faithful female readers at Microtek Medical Inc., my place of employment until last Thursday. Yall are great friends and thank you for treating me like a King during my time there (probably b/c I was the only male in the entire building) ; I will miss it. Hope yall are doing well and are enjoying having 2 bathrooms again. Holler at me if your ever in Jackson.

We are officially Jacksonians and Mo is coming home!

We have officially moved to Jackson now. Tonight will be our first night in our new home. Matt is on his way home with the most important of our belongings, Gizmo, as we speak. He was released this afternoon since we decided to forgo the surgery to remove the cancer. It would have been a really tough recovery on him and a very high risk surgery. He is still blown up like a baloon but we will love him even more now! We don't know how much longer we have him so if you thought he was spoiled before you just wait until I get him back!! I started work yesterday and it is going great. Everyone is really sweet, however I do really miss my coworkers from Tupelo desperately! Please continue to keep Gizmo in your prayers and us as we try to settle in Jackson.

Thanks to my wonderful sister for letting me stay the past couple of days so I wouldn't be so sad without my husband and Gizmo. I have the greatest family!

I will post pictures of our little fat man later tonight after he returns home.

Gizmo Update

Little Gizmo is still in ICU at MSU vet school. We are still here staying so we can be close. The Dallas family has been kind enough to let us stay in their apartment. So we have been reminiscing about the old college days. The vet school calls me twice a day to give us updates. His vitals, temp, and circulation is still good. He is still three times his size. The air has not gone down at all. He will be transferred from ICU to the surgeons tomorrow. They will decide if he needs surgery tomorrow. They said he is eating good and sleeping. I am so ready to get him back! Please continue to pray for him!

Pray for Gizmo!

Please keep little Gizmo in your prayers. I boarded him in Tupelo yesterday while Matt and I were going to close on our home in Jackson. I decided to have his teeth cleaned while he was there. They called around five p.m. and said we needed to get him to MSU vet school immediately his trachea was leaking air. We paid one of the tech's to drive him there and meet us to cut two hours out of his wait time. When we saw him he has so much air leaking that he is about three times his normal size. He is pitiful. However he is stable right now and his vitals are good. I should be getting a phone call any minute now from the vet. We will know if he needs surgery or if there is a chance it could repair on its own. They also found two masses on his lungs.
I am still in town. Matt and some of our precious friends are moving us right now to Jackson. Keep us in your prayers please!!
