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!

I know she is coming to a family that already loves her so much. We can't wait till you're here baby girl!!!!!

We don't have the internet at our home so I don't have pictures but I will have my fabulous husband help me get some pictures updated and I promise we will try to be better at keeping this thing up!!!

Right now I am sitting in the Icu at Primary childrens hospital. What a crazy month it has been!!! My cousin Andrew got in a hunting accident and was shot. To make a long story short he has been doing great. We have witnessed miracle after miracle. This morning i woke up to a phone call saying that he had taken a turn for the worst. So here we are waiting. I just want to thank all of you for your support and prayers. I know the Lord has blessed us. And will continue to bless us. I am so greatful for the Gospel in our lives.

Phase 1 of the new house

Well here it is! This video is a compilation of pictures I have taken of our new house from the time the hole was dug, up until right now. I tried to take a picture each day, but there are maybe 4 days missing, so that gives you an idea of the speed at which they are working.

The house is in Farmington and we are very excited to continue to watch our first home being built!

Sisters

I have to take a minute and brag about my sister Corinne. (Sorry Corinne this is such an old Picture but I thought it was cute) She is such an amazing person!! She has been working so hard the last couple of years to get her degree in nursing and she finally did it!!! Yahoo!!! She graduated the last week of March and she is now a RN. We are so excited for her to be done with school and move on with life, And moving on is what her and her husband will be doing!! They are having a baby!!! Another Yahoo!!! Another nephew, that Dustin and I get to enjoy. She is due in November and like I said we are so excited!!!

Since I am bragging about my sister I thought I would include a little more....

Corinne and I have had an interesting relationship. We were best friends all growing up. Well maybe I should say I was her shadow. Here are some things I remember about our childhood days

1. I remember at very young age she went with our neighbor to see The Rockateer ( I think that is the name of it) I wanted to go so bad!!! Not because I wanted to see the movie I just wanted to be all grown up and go with them. Well of coarse my parents wouldn't let me. I was probably 6 at the time and they were getting dropped off. I remember being so mad that I sat on the couch and cried and screamed and cried. I remember thinking that if I screamed loud enough I would annoy my parents enough that they would let me go... didn't happen!!!

2. At even a younger age we went up to our ranch with my dad and spent the day helping him and my grandpa do some stuff. My Dad had to go back down to the city to get the rest of the family. Corinne and I decided that we wanted to stay up at the ranch instead of driving down and coming back up. So we did. Well that afternoon it rained and stormed like nothing else and the lighting was crazy!!! We were so scared!!!! We were convinced that we were going to get struck by lighting and dye.

3. This last week we got together with the C-ville crew which consisted of Corinne, Dez, Krista, Hayley, Megan, Crystal and on occasion Brit. We sat and talked about the good old days from making videos to toilet papering to sleeping on the tramp with the rats to water ballooning to Watching hours of t.v. when princess Diane died. No we can not forget the time getting chased by three cars at one time and ditching a cop. I have so many memeroies with those girls I could go on for hours.

4. After Corinne graduated she went down to Cedar city to go to college. But our friendship continued. We had to get creative while down there cause there isn't a whole lot to do. So we entertained ourselves with a box of go-gurts. And entertainment that was. Those of you who were there with us will probably just laugh and shake your head at this memory. Haha!!

There are so many things I could write in this post. I am so excited that Corinne has finished school and now we get to spend more time with her and we are so Excited for her new addition to her family!!! Love ya sis!
