SAWYER ROGERS SNOW

On February 3, 2011 our sweet baby Sawyer was born. After a fever and pushing for 2 1/2 hours, and four epidurals later Sawyer came by C-section at 8:31 p.m. He was 8 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long....he is adorably chunky! Aside from our wedding day it was the most amazing day of our lives! Jeff Leonidas and I have really enjoyed every minute with our little Sawyer!

The time has come.........

We are so ready to meet our little Sawyer! At this time in our lives we are feeling very overwhelmed, but it's a good overwhelmed feeling! We are extremely blessed to have so many amazing people surrounding us! We can't wait for Sawyer to meet these people and to learn how they have influenced his Daddy and Mommy's lives. Pregnancy has been quite the journey for both Jeff and I. It's brought many firsts, lots of laughs, tons of meltdowns, and weird disagreements. Let's just say our marriage has grown so much in the last 9 months, and it truly has been a special experience for our little family! This post is to all of you who make our lives so wonderful, we love you!!

Baby Letter

Baby Sawyer,

We did it little man, we are Officially 6 months. Only three more months till Mommy and Daddy get to meet you! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. You have become very active in Mommy's belly, I call it Baby Olympics. It usually begins each morning around 4:30 a.m. and lasts until about 7:30 a.m. and it is constant moving!! I don't want Daddy to miss a thing, so you better believe I grab his hand each morning while he is fast asleep just to feel you! He laughs every time. We still can't get over how crazy it is to feel you move and it's even crazier when we see my belly move! I have a CD in my car that you thoroughly enjoy! I don’t even know who the singer is, but the style of the song is reggae and it’s called “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” You start moving every time I play it. I can’t wait to see your reaction the first time I play it for you in person. Maybe we will listen to it on our way home from the hospital with you. Each week I get emails with pictures of what you look like, how you are growing and developing, and what symptoms your Mommy is probably experiencing. I always forward the emails to your Dad so he can read about your progression too! You are amazing baby Sawyer and we love learning about you! About a month ago your Dad and I were sitting in sacrament and he looked over at me and said “diapers” I said “what” then he repeated “diapers” I said “yes, what about diapers” he then proceeded by saying “we are going to need lots of diapers!!” I just about rolled off my chair I was laughing so hard! He is totally worried about diapers and I am totally worried about getting your nursery put together. Hopefully we will have a nursery stocked with thousands of diapers by the time you arrive. We registered your puppy brother Leonidas in puppy school for the next six weeks. We are hoping this will help discipline him so that he will be on his best behavior when you come home. Every day your presence becomes more known. I am so grateful that I get to literally be with you all day everyday. I am cherishing these moments for they won’t last very much longer. We want you to know how loved you are! All of your family, Mommy and Daddy’s friends, co-workers, and even strangers constantly touch my belly and share their love with you! We are all so excited for your arrival. Please keep being active and growing strong for Mommy and Daddy!

Love

Daddy, Mommy, and Leonidas

It's His Birthday

And I couldn't wait! I love all holidays and birthdays. Jeff seems to think I could make up my own holidays and celebrate which I probably could and I would thoroughly enjoy them. I was so excited for my man to turn 26. I set my alarm for 12:15 a.m. because I wanted to be the first to wish him a Happy Birthday!! My alarm went off and Jeff was a little upset. I acted like I had to get a drink from the kitchen but ran out to the garage where all of his birthday presents were and lots of balloons. I ran in to our bedroom, flipped on the lamp light cause I figured the over head light would startle him too bad and screamed Happy Birthday!!!! He was very surprised....got to love that! We went to dinner at his most favorite place that evening. Very low key but I am so glad I got to spend some time with him. I love you Husband! Hope 26 treats you just right!!!

Megan & Annie's Annual Halloween Party

Jeff had the fabulous idea of going as the Situation and Snookie for Halloween! It was the day before our friends annual Halloween party and we had no costume so I totally gave in to Jeff's idea, seeing how he bashed all mine. Thank you GenX for providing us with such great outfits! I will definitely wear mine again and thank you for providing Jeff with a pair of skinny jeans......I must say he looks pretty good in them! We had a fun night with everyone at the party! It's so fun seeing old faces and catching up! Thanks Meg and Annie!

St. George with the Simkins

Over my birthday Jeff and Blake played in a softball tournament in St. George. What a fun time we had!! We stayed at the very lovely Motel 8, watched softball, ate lots of naughty food, and learned how to play some good games!! Thanks guys for such a great time, can't wait till our next little getaway!!
