Introducing.....

Beau Luke Savage :) Born December 29, 2009 2:11 a.m. 9.6lbs 22 inches long! After 28 hours of long labor, our little bundle of joy finally joined our family. The birth story is a little lengthy, but I will try to sum it up for you all. It all started Sunday night.. I went to bed at 10 and about a half hour later I started getting some intense contractions that woke me up and they made it so I could not fall back to sleep. I felt a little bit of excitement, but did not want to get my hopes up. Kameron and I decided to start timing them for fun just to see how regular they were. They began about 10 minutes apart and shortly turned into intense contractions every five minutes! I checked into the hospital about 2:30 am Monday morning where they checked my progression. I was still only at a 2 so, after wating an hour at the hospital, they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home:( Well, the morphine did not help AT ALL! I could't get any sleep and I just waited a few more hours until a felt like I could go back to the hospital. Our second trip at the hospital was not any better than the first. I seriously walked the halls of the hospital for an hour straight and stopped at every corner in agony with a contraction.. ugh it was awful! Yet again, I was sent home with pain medication.

Finally at about 5:00 p.m, there was absolutley no way I could handle it anymore. So off to the hospital for the third and final time we went. This time I was dialated to a 5+ and the admitted me! YAHOO! After getting settled into my delivery room I was able to get an epidural right away. I never knew that I could love something so much the included needles and my spine!... but oh boy! I couldn't have asked for anything more. It was such a relief to not be in pain anymore. I was able to relax for the first time in hours and enjoyed spending time with my family.

I progressed quickly and before I knew it, it was time to push! After pushing for a while, something not so great happened. My epidural decided to wear off in my right hip. Can I say INTENSE? Oh my goodness, I have never felt something so painful. It made me so nauseaus and I had to throw up. They had to come back in a give me a second epidural. When the second one kicked in, I was ready to push once again. I could not wait to meet our little guy! I was so worn out, I needed a little help in the end. Beau had to be vacuumed out. It was emotionally hard for both Kameron and I but we knew that it was best for Beau.

It was finallly over! Our baby boy was here! And he was HUGE! None of us had any idea that he would be that big. It was by far the best moment of my life. I felt so accomplished and proud of myself. Kameron was the best coach and comforter ever. I could not have made it through without him by my side. I loved seeing him look at Beau for the first time. I will never forget the instant overwhelming feeling of love for Beau and the increasing love, that I didn't know I could possibly have for Kameron. I would go through what I did a 100 times for Beau.

We are all doing well and we are excited to start our new life together as a family of 3! What a great number :) We are grateful for all of the support and love that we have felt from all of our amazing Family and Friends. Thank you all so much for coming to visit us and for all of the great gifts. It is so appreciated! Happy New Year to everyone!! 2009 was a great year for the Savage Fam and 2010 will be even better!

P.S We are still in the hospital right now with Beau. He is having a few little problems. We are expecting him to get better very soon and then we will be able to take him home :) I promise I will let you all know when we are finally home and getting all settled. Love you!

Lots to catch up on... Happy Turkey Day and Go Cougars!!

FIRST THINGS FIRST! What an AMAZING game! We love the Cougars and we knew that they could do it. It was such a blast to be there together! It was definately worth sitting out in the freezing cold to watch BYU win :) So exciting! GO COUGARS!

As you know, Thanksgiving just isn't official unless there is a Turkey Bowl played the morning of! This year I was able to go and watch and even take some pictures! This was so much fun and I so enjoyed watching all of these great guys! They have such a great time playing together and it is really cool to see how many guys show up to play! There were quite a few of them this year, enough for 4 teams and Kameron's team won! They were the Turkey Bowl Champs 2 years in a row! This was such a great start to such a fabulous day :) I am grateful for so many things. I have the greatest Husband ever and I am so lucky to be his wife and to have him to take care of me and our baby Beau. I am grateful for the best Family and Friends who are always there for Kameron and I no matter what. We are truly so blessed and happy:)

I know you thought we fell off the face of the earth, but we didn't :)

Hello friends! I am so sorry we haven't updated in so long. We have been super busy with work and Football! Kameron has been coaching and his little league season is almost coming to a close. He has had such a blast! This picture is of his little bro Kolton throwing a touchdown pass in his last game! I love to go and support my two boys! They have had so much fun being together this season. I love the bond that they have. It makes me excited for the sweet bond that our Baby Beau and His Daddy will have :)

Okay everyone who has been begging me for one of these.. here it is.. my FIRST belly picture! I am officially 29 weeks and a little over 7 months. I have just begun my Third and Final trimester, wahoo! I am feeling great. The anticipation and excitement is the only thing that is killing Kam and I. We have been doing lots of baby preperations and this time is so enjoyable for us :) What a blessing this baby has been already in our lives and in our marriage. All is well and we are very happy! Also, we are loving this beautiful Fall weather! Happy Halloween to everyone this week! Love you all!

20 weeks!

I had my 20 week ultra sound on Monday and I have to say that I am a little disappointed. We didn't get very good pictures of Beau. None of them were very clear and it was hard to tell what we were looking at! Super big bummer! But, I think that this picture is cute of him, he is pulling a litte acrobatic move. I will explain :) You can see that he is laying on his back with his chin to his belly. His nose is poking up and his upper lip. Then he has his legs clear up above his head. LOL you can see his bum in the air and it looks like his legs are pretty muscular :) What a stud eh?!

The Wiggles!

Holy Cow! So just recently I have started to feel Beau move. It has been such an exciting experience! It makes me feel so happy to know that he is alive in there ha I was starting to get worried that it was taking me so long to be able to feel him. It started out as just little flutters and now I can full on feel him kick his legs and roll! I was determinded last night to get the baby to move for Kameron. I told Kam we would not be going to be until he felt him move.... I thought we were going to be up all night long! Kameron finally got down reallly close to my belly and started talking to Beau. He was talking and poking my belly and all of a sudden Beau started to go nuts! He kicked Kam's hand more than once and it was so cute that he wouldn't budge until Kam started to talk to him. I know that he recognizes his voice. It is moments like these that make the icky part of pregnancy so worth it. I love being pregnant and I love my baby boy!

The Magic Moment!

What a great day today has been! Kameron and I set off to run some errands and we drove to South Towne Mall. I asked what we were doing and he said it was a surprise. So I was excited but didn't think anything of it. We walked around that corner and there it was! The Fetal Studio. I was in shock and he said..WELL DONT YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS?! I was so excited all I could do was laugh and say "You are such a stinker!" Finding out the gender was not as easy as I thought it would be. Especially when the baby is choosing to be stubborn. When we first took a peek at the baby it looked like this....
It was in the fetal position so tight. It's head was all the way down to its knees and it was not budging. It would tease us and lift it's head up and then go right back into that position. The doctor said go walk around and get some sugar. Lets give the baby a sugar rush so it will start to move! So off we went on mission get the baby to move! :) Kameron went and bought me a Lemonade from hot dog on a stick and a started to chug that thing. After talking to the baby and begging it to move we headed back to the doctor. When we returned.. this is what we saw!

It is a baby boy!!! He decided to oped his little legs for us so we could see. Kameron and I were so excited. I had happy tears in my eyes and Kameron looked like a little kid on Christmas morning! The baby has such the cutest personality already. After he showed us his little pee pee, he kept covering his face with his hands like he was embarrassed after he revealed himself to us :) It was such a special moment and I will never forget the feeling that I felt. This little boy is so loved and we are trying so hard to be patient as we await his arrival.

This is his first modeling picture. You can see that he is facing us and his little hand us under his chin. You can see his belly, legs and his boy part :) Today was the first time Kameron was able to see him move and that made me so happy he could see it. The baby was waving it's arms and being so stinkin cute! I wish all of you could have shared this moment with us. I tried to describe it the best I could! Love you so much! Beau Luke Savage will be here soon!

Yo everyone! Here's an update!

Howdy partners!
I know I haven't written forever so here are a few updates about my pregnancy! I am just over 3 months now and time is flying by... well sorta! I am still struggling with a little bit of sickness but always keeping a smile on my face. Except at about 9 o' clock at night Kameron has decided to give me the name Cruela Devil because I really do turn into her. I am so irritable and I just want to sleep. He is so cute with me though. Every time I get up during the night he wakes up and asks me if he can do anything for me and he'll rub my back even though he is half asleep. What a great Husband. :) I had my second doctor's appointment this week and the baby is growing and developing great. The size of the baby is still on track with my due date which is Kam's birhtday so that is great!The Doctor even let me have anohter sneak peak of the baby even though it wasn't apart of the regular check up. I was able to see it move and I would poke my belly and I could see where my finger was pushing on the ultra sound. I am so excited for this baby to come and I can't wait until I can feel it move. That will be some sweet stuff! All in all I am doing well I am finally getting used to all of the icky feelings and I don't think they will be letting up any time soon but lets keep our fingers crossed shall we?! :)

SURPRISE!!!!

Surprise everyone! We are going to have a baby! We are totally stoked and couldn't be any happier! We went to the doctor today to check everything out and everything is going perfectly! The baby is just the right size and our due date is January 9th... KAM'S B-DAY! The pictures are a little blurry but still so excited! The top picture shows its heartbeat and it is going so fast! The bottom picture is a close up shot. If you start on the right there is it's head and little arm buds and its bottom :) Sorry it isn't too clear! We are so excited to share this big news with all of you and we will keep you updated as things progress. Love you all!

An Amazing Testimony Builder!

I LOVE NAUVOO!! I want to go back and never leave! This weekend all of the awesome people we live out here in Illinois with decided to pack up for a short little get away! We are only about 2 hours from Nauvoo and it was so perfect. We found this house that we could all rent together named the Bywater House. It was so cute and old. The inside was redone so it was so nice and homey! I wish we were living tere for the rest of the summer. The beds were so comfy! We had so much fun there. We played fun games and watched the NBA games! So intense! We also made a yummmy dinner that we ate outside. Isn't the temple so beautiful? We sat on the grass outside of the temple at night and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Kameron and I were able to go do sealings in the temple and it was my first time doing them since we have been married and it was such a sweet reminder of our wedding day. Nauvoo has such a sweet spirit about it and I felt so calm and at peace there. We were able to make it to Carthage and this was so cool but also saddening. We couldn't believe that we were actually standing and walking where our sweet Prophet Joseph Smith walked. Our testimony of him grew so much. He was an amazing person and did everything he could to help everyone who was in his life. He was so brave and loyal. We are forever grateful for what he did for the Church and we love him for restoring the Gospel to the earth. What and OUTSTANDING person. We loved being with our friends and making sweet memories that we will never forget! Nauvoo is such a unique place and we want to tell everyone to get there!!!!!!! You wont regret it!

We Have Been Married One Whole Year!

One year! Can anyone believe it? This year went by so fast and we have grown so much as a couple. We are still so in love and are so lucky to have on another. Being in a new State and city, we had to search for a place to go have dinner. We found this restaurant called Johnny's Italian Steakhouse.. can you say GOOD! It was super duper yummy, and the area that the restaurant was located in made us feel like we were back at home because it sort of looked like Salt Lake! We had such a great time talking at dinner. We are best friends and we can't wait for more years to come! I love you Kam! Here are some pics of our new place in Illinois. It is a pretty sketchy place, but we are starting to get used to it :) We weren't able to bring any decorations except for our sweet posters. The furniture in the place was already put there for us. We are just enjoying the great time we are having out here and for the memories that we are making. We are missing our families and friends but we know that we will be with you all soon!
