Meet Sawyer Zade Anderson

Born February 18th at 5:05 PM.

7lbs 1 oz and 18 3/4 inches.

Me and Ty are both so happy that she in finally here! She is such a good baby! She has practically slept through the night from day one, we have to wake her to eat and get changed. She was a pro at breast feeding from the beginning and we could not feel more blessed. Overall I never knew I could be so happy. I am sure many more post's of pic's to come and maybe a birth story...

37 Weeks and Maternity Shots (Picture Overload)

Here we are we have made it full term as of Thursday. I had my first real weekly Doctor's Appt on Friday and I am dilated to a 1 and 70% effaced. So at least Sawyer is showing some effort that she wants to meet us too. I am amazed that she will be here so soon and that I still feel as good as I do. Sure my back aches and my feet are huge by the end of the day but overall pregnancy has been better than I thought it would be. Now lets hope the same for labor.... So hopefully my next post is announcing her arrival! Fingers crossed*

Yesterday my sister in law Aubree was nice enough to go take some maternity shots. I know...... you are all SHOCKED I actually asked someone to take pictures of ME :) But I just knew that in three months from now I would sooo regret not having any evidence that I was actually pregant. So here are a few of the Tiffany approved pictures.

Thanks Aubree, you are a great director and did an awesome job!! I am so glad to have these to show Sawyer one day!

My Favorite! Evidence for Sawyer that Daddy had "cool" hair!

Almost there!

Well here we are about 35 1/2 weeks, one more month until her official due date. However, I am more than happy to meet her anytime after she hits 37 weeks. I am still so grateful to say that my pregnancy stil hasn't been too bad. Every appointment I feel like my Doctors most boring patient! I give my pee sample - "fine", they check my blood pressure - "just fine", get weighed - "Doc says I am text book (even though I feel huge)", measure the belly - "right on track", listen to her heartbeat - "always strong".

So overall not anything really "new" to report as far as me or baby. Swollen feet and just being uncomfortable are probably my biggest complaints. Tyson might disagree with that statement because I am sure I complain more than he wants to hear, but I have the right don't I? Everyone says the last 2 months are the hardest and I would have to agree for the fact that you feel like the 9 month journey is never going to be over. Some say that they feel their pregnancy moved too fast, for me it could SO go faster. Even though I am sure I might not being saying that in 30 or so days when she is here. :) I can definetely say that Sawyer is getting stronger everyday and my bruised ribs and pelvic bone are evidence. There just isn't anything like the feeling of your babies movement so I am sure I will miss this part very much as distracting as it might be at times.

Tyson is getting inpatient as well, now that our new little nephew Corver is here, he wants nothing more than his cuddle bug to arrive. I would have to say that I am more excited to see Tyson with our little girl than anything, he is going to be the best Daddy ever! I start my weekly appt's tomorrow so hopefully I will have some progress to report in the next coming weeks.

So I guess I will just leave with a couple of belly pics from the last few weeks.

What I miss about not being pregnant...

Laying on my stomach.

Sleeping in any position I want.

Wearing all my "normal" clothes.

Crunches and many other excercises!!!

Tanning.

Drinking as much caffeine as I want.

Not having three chins.

Not getting up to pee 5 times during the night.

What I miss about not being pregnant...and might not go away now....

Not getting heartburn from Chocolate and anything Tomato based.

Sneezing, walking, or laughing without having to worry about peeing my pants.

What I will probably miss about being pregnant......

Little Kicks to my ribs or pelvic bone that stop me in my tracks.

Being woke up at 4 am to a wiggling baby in my belly instead of a screaming one.

Hearing her heartbeat.

Tyson never telling me "No" :)

Tyson talking to her and lighting up everytime he see's me because he knows I am carrying his little girl........

Sneek Peek of the Nursery....Still just waiting on a throw pillow and curtains. Pictures of the finished product very soon!

28 week Belly Pic

Entering the Dreadid Third Trimester

Pregnancy Report: It is so crazy to think that I am already 2/3 of the way done being pregnant. It has gone so fast yet February still can feel so far away. She is growing at a rapid speed now and makes my belly ache just like Jr High growing pains. Overall I am still feeling really good, able to workout and still sleeping like a rock most of the time. It is true that your energy makes an appearance in the 2nd trimester but quickly starts to go away again entering the third. 9 o'clock just does not come soon enough the last few days and I have had a rough week emotionally kind of like a crazy person but that is normal right? Luckily crazy pregnant lady only lasted a couple of days for mine and Tyson's sake. :) She moves around all of the time now and me and Tyson can not get enough of it. She is quite a distraction when I am at work or trying to watch TV because I just get so caught up in watching and feeling her move all around. It is so amazing to think about what is actually in there. Each day I start to wonder more & more what she will look like, will she have my eyes or Tyson's dark thick hair? We really just can not wait to meet her and find out!

Exciting news to report: We got her crib, dresser and bedding! Everything is just perfect and I can not wait to get it all set up! I will post a pic soon as it is done.

I am also so ecstatic to have my first baby shower on Saturday thrown by Aunt Charie, Aubree and Grandma. I am sure baby Kevin (Shantai's baby boy) and baby Suzy are going to get very spoiled.

I also feel quite comfortable sharing what is most likely to be her real name (since we have not discussed any others in months)..... Sawyer Zade Anderson. Cute huh!

And of course I must leave with some pictures to show how much she has grown in the last month!

21-22 weeks

25-26 weeks

Priceless!
