Our Baby Girl Has Arrived!!!


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.



Right After She Was Born


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.


Our Family. The boys are so excited too!


I Love Her Sooooo Much!


She was three days old in this picture.

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.
