Im getting nuttin' for Christmas

Here we are... fixing the kinks.  Judging by the picture Miss Savy's plumbing was struggling.  I finally took her back up to her pediatrician and got put on a new soy formula... boy did it change things.  Savy overall is a very happy little girl.  She has learned her smiles and is fascinated by her hands.  She puts her hands in fists and pulls them close to her face.  It is hysterical to watch until BAM she smacks herself in the head and precedes to cry.  Poor little chick!  She watched her Mama put Christmas lights up today and watched in amazement.  She won't sleep in a crib or bassinet so lives in a bouncer chair.  I guess you got to do what you got to do.  Dallin is working a lot and we are looking for an old house to purchase to renovate here in D-town.  I have done my Christmas shopping online since the little girl is attached to me... I feel like an abuser dragging her all over the city (I have done it before...she is amazingly patient but I feel bad doing it to her).  It is a complete blizzard outside so we have been squatting at my Aunts house for hours not wanting to take the baby out in the 10000000 hr winds.
That's about it for now!  Hope all is well with you!

6 weeks and growing fast

This blog is for Jory who said I need to update my blog.  Dear Jory...I am a new Mom and haven't shaved my legs in 6 weeks none the less blog!  :)  This is a picture of Savy last week.  She is such a sweet girl!  I finally went to a pediatrician in Orem after a month of complete fussy baby craziness.  I was SHOCKED when we figured out why she is so fussy.  My baby girl broke her clavicle bone in the birth canal and no one found it until this Dr.  Plain and simple she has a broken bone that I have been cramming in outfits, putting in awkward poses for pictures and pushing on when I pick her up.  Needless to say now that we are all aware she is MUCH happier!  Thank you to Dr. Clayton...prevacid...and soy formula!

Wishing I could do this...

This little girl has turned our world upside down and back and fourth.  She is the greatest blessing.  The only thing that is difficult is the sore boobies (sorry for my honesty) and the lack of sleep.  At first I loved bonding with her for endless hours in the early morning but two weeks later I am beat!  Anyways love this pic and wanted to share it!  Dallin's mom caught her at a great moment.

Savanna Grace Jeffery

We finally got our little love bug.  Savanna Grace came to us on September 26 at 6:45 p.m. after 16 hrs of labor I am so excited to say she is worth it!  We are so in love!  Overall we are doing well!  She is a great eater and Dallin is so into the roll of a Daddy.  I am doing good just will take some time to heal physically.  I will post more pics at a later time.

Officially over this

I don't think I have ever in my life wanted something more.  At 3:00 a.m. last night as I was eating an early morning breakfast, soaking my burning hot/itchy feet in water, and contemplating my life I begged and pleaded not only with Savy but also with the big man up stairs.  I think its time...for my sanity its time.  However, I am thinking this is a test of patience and this will be held out for the very last minute.  We will see... Dear Savy you are officially evicted from your current residence.

39 weeks...loosing it :)

Just an updated pic...enough said :)

To my little Savy girl...

Dear Savy,


I would like you to know that we got the official go ahead from the Doctor today.  You are welcome to grace us with your presence at anytime.  The term "checking" sounds so exciting to see when you are coming but when you are "checked" by large man hands and your told so sorry you are not dilated, or thinned then you want to grab the razor blades. 
Here is my proposition,  let's share birthday's!!  You have 8 days to prepare for your arrival and I promise you your new house is much bigger and nicer then the one you have been crammed in for 9 long months.  I have a room for you and lots of cute clothes and goodies to play with. 
So...say goodbye to your buddies placenta, umbilical cord, and fluid.  Come say hello to all of us anxiously waiting to meet you... especially your semi-sane mother.


love,


 your Mommy

34ish weeks and counting.

I decided I'm a funny yet pathetic person...

I change weeks on Thursdays and when I hit Sunday or Monday I then decide I am no longer what I was the week before.  I like to pretend I am 35 weeks although I am only 34ish.  Anyways here are some updated pictures. 

Really bad lighting but you get the picture...I have been sewing things and painting a few things here and there.  I have two of the best Aunts in the whole world who are patient to help me with projects and a Mom who has a special eye for decorating.  She can walk into a room and say move this here or there and it looks 100 times better.  I will post projects and recent nursery pics...someday.

and my life has come to this...

Is it normal...

To wake up in the mornings and the first thing you think about are the frozen waffles you have to eat RIGHT NOW then when you realize OH you ate the last one at 11:30 the night before you are almost devastated to tears...

The fact that you have to pee constantly and you are totally alright squatting in a neighbors bush when your out on a walk to get that job done (you are all lucky Dallin was with me and told me I was NOT allowed). 

To be in a chipper mood and feel so wonderful and blessed before a nap and when you wake up you are mad, stressed, and are pretty sure something terrible is going to happen before this baby girl makes her arrival. 

To SCRUB your kitchen multiple times a day?  I swear I can not get this place cleaned!  If I am not cleaning or organizing I am stressed so its one or the other. 

To loose full control of your self and not only skip the shower because you know you have got to wash that hair but to go out in public in your husbands clothes (who is 6'5 when you are 5'2).  *To those who work at quality market and see this sight 2-3 times a week I really do have a home and a shower.*

To eat ice cream 2x a day and not care...oh and to make it worse I am allergic to ice cream but it is the only thing to cool me down in this gosh forsaken heat.

Warning...

The pictures posted below look really awful on this blog.  The colors are actually cute in person. 

Welcome to baby land...well my version of it.

I may have jumped the gun (yet again) on this decorating stuff but I can't help myself.  I have collected so many cute things over the past few months and when I brought the glider home on Friday it was officially time to decorate.  There are still a few minor details I need to add but for the most part baby Savanna or Savannah's room is done! (notice the two different spellings...Dad likes one...Mom likes the other!  Middle name is pending as well.  I have a feeling I am going to win that battle :) )  I am now just over 30 weeks and am starting to get excited.  Excited mixed with uncomfortable.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I feel her more and LOVE that I have Dr's apts every 2 weeks now.  Just nice to be checked up on and also it makes it go by faster.  I am planning on posting another pic. when the camera is found.  The pictures of her room are not the best because they are taken with my phone.

This is a close up picture of the flower chandelier above the glider.

This shelf decorating is still in the process...Don't look to close :)

Changing table/Dresser...The baby girl will live in a match box...not a whole lot of room. 

26 weeks!

I was told that I will regret it if I don't take pictures throughout my pregnancy so in honor of fathers day I had Dallin take a few pics.  I am getting anxious for the next 3 months to pass and in all honestly I am not sure it is really happening.  I can't picture a baby at the end of this.  I can't picture myself as a Mom.  When I walk into the room which will be the nursery it doesn't feel like it will happen.  Is that normal??  I think it may be because it feels like FOREVER away and I am a nervous nelly.  I know she will be here soon enough but it certainly doesn't feel real.  I am feeling pretty good.  I LOVE that I am feeling her movements more.  She is active in the middle of the night and I actually enjoy laying in bed and feelings the kicks and punches.  Any advice to make the time pass quickly?  I am doing all I can to force myself to wait till end of July/early August to do the nursery decorating.  I go and stare at everything I have put away in the closet and I have to force myself out of the room so I don't go decorating crazy :)

22 weeks

We took this picture with my camera phone before church Sunday.  Not the best picture but it gives you an idea.  Let me ask you this...does the 2nd half of pregnancy go by fast?  I am so excited to meet our baby girl!

This might be jumping the gun

We ordered our crib off the Internet so we were nervous what we may end up with.  So the question is... is 3 1/2- 4 months pushing it on setting it up?  We really wanted to make sure we like what we received so we set it up.  Now I just want to go nuts and finish the whole nursery for the little babe!

Pics of the little miss

These are some of the ultra sound pics from Tuesday.  Dallin asked afterward with a concerned look to his face, do you think she is... you know...ok?  She kind of looked like an alien.  Yes I know this is not the most flattering because she would not move her hands from her mouth and if you look close her eye brows are squinted down like she is ticked off and has had enough show and tell for one day.  Since this is my first experience at this I have to say I fell in love and as alien as she may appear she is the love of my life already.

I am sure she would have no dignity left if she knew I posted her privates but it is just so exciting!

This pic below is the damage I caused within an hour after of knowing we were having a baby girl...

xoxoxo

Here she comes...

I know not many people check our blog out due to the fact that it is still new but we got the news today that our baby is a GIRL!! YEAH!!! Everything looked wonderful! I have to go back for another ultra sound because my placenta was close to my cervix (might be Too Much Info). Hopefully as I grow out it will move away to a more comforting spot. The little babe was amazing and I pray we will continue to be blessed with the sweet thing and no problems will occur. Right now she is laying more in my back which explains why I don't look so large. Well there is the update! So far so good!
xoxo

and so it begins...

This blogging thing is a very brave thing I am doing. Mostly because I am superstitious and do not want to jinx myself in anyway with this baby thing. It has been an interesting 4 months to say the least. I think that my friends and family will be thankful for Tuesday when we receive our 20 week ultrasound. To say I am a "nervous nelly" would be an understatement. To say I am psychotic might be the more appropriate wording. In a nut shell Dallin is happy the hormones are evening out...one minute laughing, one minute bawling (not just a tear or two). He is also happy my appetite is back since I think he feels like he lives in a 3rd world country where food runs sparse. Poor man had to come to his mom's for food and loves since the last thing I wanted to get around smelly foods and give anyone extra TLC. Harley too has been neglected. We went on our first walk last week. Half a block and I thought I was going to have to carry my obese dog home.
Things have turned around the last few weeks! I LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat, I spend most my days apologising to Dallin for the roller coaster I put him through and I am starting to get spring fever (although today it feels like December). I think I may be feeling little flutters off and on. I wait patiently to see if it ends in gas which most the time it does. Ohhh the joy's of womenhood! Well, that is the update on us...hopefully we will be a little more exciting this 2nd time around!
Good luck to you and your families!
