My Husband Scott & I three weeks before she was born
Hi Everyone,
Well a lot has changed since my last posting. My family and I are happy to announce the arrival of our sweet little girl Savannah. I delivered her naturally on October 19th. Everything went great with my pregnancy and her delivery. I was even able to push her out like I did with my other two kids before I was hurt. It was a glorious experience! My doctor told me since my ab. muscles were strong now that it shouldn’t be a problem and it wasn’t. We are so happy that she is here and we are both very happy and healthy.
Here is Savannah her first day of life
I worked out in physical therapy up until two weeks before she was born. I had to stop my walking as I got big because I got dizzy some because of all of the extra blood I had in my body because of the pregnancy. I also never wanted to risk falling while pregnant. I did continue to stand and do hip hikes the whole time though. I also continued to do the total gym to keep my arms and core strong. I also worked out with the weighted balls lifting them in many different positions preparing me for when I will carry the baby all around.
Savannah is now 3 weeks old and I look forward to being able to go back to working out in a couple of weeks. I want to get my abs back to being as strong as they were. I am also very excited to be able to start walking and standing with my half braces again. I don’t have much patience in waiting for my body to recuperate but I will have to be patient as it rebuilds it self up again. I know I will get there. Then I can try and push myself even further and see what happens.
My husband Scott and I adapted her crib so it opens up like french doors and I can place her in and get her out easily that way. I also had a friend of mine that had kids after she was injured give me her roll under changing table and it works great. Scott also built me a roll under table that I can attach her bouncy chair or baby swing to and so I can easily get her in and out. I know I will have to do some things different this time around, but I have no doubt that I will be able to do it all fine. :)
I feel so blessed to be able to be a new Mom again. We love her so much!!!

Hard to believe it's been so long since we met. Long enough for you to have a baby and me to buy a van. I'm pretty sure that you got the better deal! I;m excited for you and your family.
Trish and Scott ~ so happy to see the update on your blog! Savannah is truly an angel, a miracle, a gift from God. We are proud grandparents!
