Introducing...

Savvy Defa Nielsen




Well here she is! All 6 lbs. 11 ounces of her. She measured 19.5 inches long. Look how cute!



After pushing and pushing she finally came to us. We feel so lucky to be able to bring this little girl into this crazy world. She is just 22 hours old and already she has captured our hearts and continues to make us smile. We are so gratfeful that our familes could be here to share with us in this special time.



Kristin is doing well. She is tired but hanging in there. Kristin did so good the whole time. She is a trooper and I dont know how she was so tough the whole time.



Savvy is good as well. She gets cuter and cuter every time we look at her. Crazy how that happens, huh...?



We will post more pictures a little later, but for now this is all we have.













No, this last picture is not a mirage. I DID change this diaper. Later though, I found out that I didnt do it good enough. Our nurse was so kind to point that out to me.


YAY!

A little video update

Its gonna be another while I'm afraid...

The wait continues.

Off To The Hospital

Well well well...the time has come. We are finally having our little girl after a long 9 month wait. Between going to the doctor a bajillion times and all the aches and pains, the little one is finally ready to come out.

We had been doing a lot of things to make the process go a little faster. We tried lunges, walking and walking and walking...we even tried some weird pizza at a downtown cafe. But this morning, Kristin had been feeling a little different, and thought something was up. By about 10:30 am she felt something running down her leg. It was then that she figured that....


Yes. Her water broke.


Kristin was nervous so I told her to call her doctor to make sure thats what it was. She was asked to go into the doctors office at 1pm. We went up to see the doctor and after a test or two we were asked to go on up to the hospital to have this baby girl.


Kristin just got finished getting her epidural and we are told its "smooth sailin'" from here. We are crossing our fingers.

Here is my cute wife getting ready for the rest of the whole ordeal...


Look how happy she is!

So at this point we wait....

Kristins feet are becomming more and more numb.

Umm....I'll keep you posted.

Ciao!
