NOW INTRODUCING......

Savannah Elizabeth Goodwin

So the day finally came May 21st 2008 Sonny and I offically became parents!! We proud to introduce Savannah Elizabeth Goodwin!! She weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounces, and 19 inches long. She has dark black hair and dark eyes (not sure who she is taking after there, neither Sonny or I have those....). Being a mom is better than I imagined, but most things God provides are.....I love her and cannot wait for the times ahead!!

Due Date

So the inevitable has happened. We made it to our "due date" and still no baby. What really is a due date anyways?? For me just a big tease....So we will start the induction process Tuesday night and she will be here sometime Wednesday afternoon. I really think this will be the best possible situation for Sonny as he doesn't handle these types of situations with out panicking. So we will be able to gather all our stuff and head to the hospital in a cool, calm, collected manner. We cannot wait to introduce our little one to all of you!!

Rocket Science.....

So first comes the "Seat Protector" I should have known how long this would take after we had complications getting this into place!!
I knew we were in trouble when I saw him go for the manual!! Women you know what Im talking about!!
I began to feel his pain by this point!!
Finally we did it!! We are ready to bring Savannah home with us!! Hope she was paying attention!!

Apparently they don't make car seats "Parent Friendly". I mean anything that comes with a 100 page instruction manual, just doesn't say, "you can sling me in the car on your way to the hospital no problem." So the instillation begins.....We decided that since I will be 40 weeks on Thursday that last night was the perfect time to put our car seat in the car, just in case! Wishful thinking mostly, I put my bags in there on Friday. I guess I'm really just hoping that Savannah will get the hint and bless us with her presence. So here are some pictures of Sonny (my engineer) installing what we thought would be a simple car seat. BTW he was frustrated that I kept laughing and snapping pictures instead of holding the flash light and reading the manual out loud to him, so if he looks a little upset, its because he is...... :)

Here's the Pictures

Forgot to add these before I hit done!! I guess Im still new at this!

And So Our Family Begins.....

Sonny and I are expecting our first child. We are due May 16th, next Friday, and we are sooo excited. The nursery is all ready, my mom and I made all of Savannah's bedding and curtains. I had a mural painted for her wall and have put all the finishing touches in her room. The only thing missing now is her!! Here are a few pictures of her nursery just to show off our hard work!
