One Week

Today Savannah is one week old! Also, Sawyer has now been a big brother for one week, and we have been parents of not just one, but two children for a week now!

Savannah is doing very well. She sleeps most of the day, and is eating about every 2 hours. Nighttime is a bit harder, she has a hard time sleeping for long periods of time, but has gotten slightly better each night. She has about a 4 hour stretch each night where she is wide awake, fussy, and does not want to sleep. Then, the other times that she is able to fall asleep, she wakes up easily fussing and wanting to eat more frequently during the night. So, the nights have been hard, but we know it will get better. Mommy is very tired, but hanging in there! I am very thankful to have 2 wonderful children!

5 Days Old!

Savannah is 5 Days Old! She has her first pediatrician appointment later today with Dr Day. Things are going normally......she loves to sleep most of the day and stay up most of the night! LOL! Hopefully that will change soon!

Savannah Rose Switzer is here!

Savannah Rose Switzer arrived Wednesday morning, June 22nd, 2011 at 9:58am!

She weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces, and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is healthy, beautiful and perfect!

I have lots of pictures from the special day. These are just a few of my favorites.

Sawyer is being a great big-brother. He says "I wuv her" several times a day and wants to "help" Mommy take care of Savannah.

Change

Tomorrow we will head to the hospital early in the morning to be induced. So, Savannah Rose should be arriving tomorrow. I am so excited! I am also sad in a way, if that makes sense. I am so attached to Sawyer and it is hard for me to imagine loving another child except him. I hope that does not sound bad, its just for the past 3 years I have poured all of my love into him and its difficult to imagine that I will have the same love for her, even though I know I will! I already love her! The last few days I have been a little weepy thinking about my time with Sawyer and how he will no longer be my "only". He is such the perfect little boy. He fills my heart with joy that I never knew I could have. I know Savannah will be the perfect little girl. I cannot wait to meet her. There are just alot of emotions and anticipation. God has blessed me with the most loving little boy in the world and I am so thankful. I know the blessings will just double when my little girl gets here. We will keep everyone posted and will post pictures when we get them. Pray I can get some sleep tonight before the big day tomorrow!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy! Love, Sawyer

Still Waiting.......

Well, we are still waiting on baby Savannah to arrive. We actually went to the hospital on Monday night because I was having pretty bad contractions about 3-5 minutes apart. However, when I got there, they checked me and I was still only dilated about 3cm. They monitored me for a couple of hours, and then sent me home. So.....we have been at home waiting some more! I am scheduled to be induced on Wednesday at 6am, so that is the longest we will have to wait to meet our sweet little princess. However, since I have been having contractions for so long now, I cannot imagine that she would wait that long to make her entrance! I feel like she should have already been here by now! Here are some pictures of her finished nursery. It turned out perfectly and I am so happy with it. Now the only thing missing is our sweet girl!

As you can see, her closet is full and her bow drawer is exploding! :)

Anxiously Waiting

We are anxiously waiting for baby Savannah to arrive. We officially have 10 days until her actual due date, but at last Monday's check up (6 days ago) I was already dilated 3cm and 50% effaced, so the doctor said I probably would not make it to my actual due date. On Wednesday night, we were sure we would end up in the hospital that night, and have felt that way each night, but my contractions have not been close enough together to justify going to the hospital quite yet. She is head-down and has definately dropped very low and is getting ready to make her appearance. We are very ready for her to be here!
