Nursery Construction Update and Beau is 2 Months!

Hello..How is everyone?! The Savage's are doing fabulous and we hope that all of you are as well!

Beau is 2 months! Can you believe it? We sure can't. They have been the best 2 months of our lives. We decided to take Beau to his first sunday at church last week and he did great. He loved it. We were so excited to take him, I talked to him while I was getting him ready and I was telling him all about our Savior and Heavenly Father. He kept smiling and giggling. I know that he knew who I was talking about. He was just with them a short time ago :) Wow! How amazing is that? Here are some cute pics of our now 13lb big boy!!!!

Construction is going GREAT! We are almost complete! All that is left to do is paint the base boards and carpeting, then we are movin' Beau on in! Woot woot! We can't wait to have our room back to oursleves! Sorry, such a short post! But, there is always more to come :) Adios Amigos!

Under Construction

We are UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Kameron's parents were kind enough to let us clean out the storage room off our our bedroom in their basement and finish it into a nursery for Beau! How awesome is that?! There is a lot of work to do...... but it will be worth it :) This is how the storage room looked all cleaned out. But as you can see there are shelves around the whole room. So, what needs to be done? Yup, we need to rip down all of the shelves. UGH!

But Beau and I are so stinkin' excited to get it all done! Beau is tryin to do thumbs up as well, but he just hasn't learned how to control his fingers yet :)

Here are the boys hard at work! Kolton, Kameron's little brother was so nice to help! With the team work, those shelves were down in no time!

The boys are very proud of their work :) now the room just needs to be framed, insulated, some sheet rock, carpeted and painted! Then we can move in!! Woot Woot!

This Happy family is so excited! :) And I can't wait to post pictures of the finished product!! Coming soon!!!

Oh Beau!

Here are more recent pictures of Beau :) This first on is of the day we went to the doctor for his two week check up.. as you can see, he is not happy about it at all. He knows that they are going to do some not so fun things! He loves to pull this scowl face all the time. It reminds me of Gary Coleman when he would say " What you talkin' bout Willis?!" I love this outfit on him. This hoodie has little ears on it and I think that he looks like a bunny rabbit or something like that. Could be any kind of animal ears....dog....bear...but I choose bunny :)

Beau is so sweet when he takes his naps. I love to just sit and stare at him. Good thing he is so cute when he sleeps..because he does it ALL THE TIME! He sure loves his sleep.

This is Beau getting all tucked in for the night. He loves to sleep in his Daddy's spot :)

Kameron is so nice to let him over take our bed. What a great Daddy :)

Finally here we are.. Beau's first night sleeping in his crib. He did pretty well. He slept for like 5 hours straight. Which was heaven for me!

He was far away in dream land :) Dreaming of where he came from. I bet he misses is there :)

Even though he starts out in his crib... this is most likely where he ends up :) He just loves to be close to his Mommy and Daddy.

This is our new tubbing tradition.He loves to be covered in warm wash cloths :) nomally his lips would chatter everytime.. but since I have started doing this he enjoys it so much more.

There ya go :) hope you enjoy the pics!

Check out this HANDSOME DEVIL!

Here is our sweet boy :) We just had his photo shoot done by Little Angels and they turned out AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for them to turn out any better. Kameron and I had so much fun taking pictures with our little guy. He cooperated so well... except for the fact that he pooped and peed on everything that his chubby bottom touched!!! I was so embarrassed! The photographer said that it happens all the time, but I think that she was just trying to make me feel better. Sure love you guys, and we can't wait for all of you to get to know Beau better. Keep Smilin' :)

Getting settled and turning the big 25!

We are home and getting all settled in! It has been great finally trying to get into a routine and back into a "normal" life :) with a few changes.. like feeding every three hours...tons of dirty diapers... and a tremendous loss of sleep!! But life could not be any better! Oh how we love this little boy and the happiness he has brought to our lives. We are extremely blessed. Beau is such a great baby. He hardly ever fusses. We have heard him cry maybe for 10 seconds at the most. He just likes to grunt a lot. He makes the funniest faces and we could just sit there and watch him for hours! We are trying to get him to sleep at night and not during the day as much. We have been slightly successful... but he still needs some work! All in all everything is dandy! We have had so many visitors :) it has been so great to feel the love of support! Here is Beau with his new friend Boston and soon to be friends "The Twinners" Carly is preg with! Can't wait to have them here!

This is the cutest picture of Beau sunbathing with his stunna shades on! The Doc told us to keep him in the sunlight when possible to help with his Jaundice. Isn't he just the cutest little chubby guy?!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby! Kameron Beau Savage is officially the big 25! Kameron is the best husband and Dad. I love him with all my heart. For his birthday treat we had brownies and ice cream! With homemade chocolate sauce that Kam's mom made. It was DELICIOUS!
It was a pretty layed back birthday since we have the new babe and all. But, it was still special to be together as a new family.

Here is Kameron with his favorite birthday present :) Beau was such a gift and having a healthy baby is all that we could have asked for!

Blowing out his candles and making a wish! :) THE END!

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:)
