6 month appointment

Savannah had her 6month appointment on August 18th. Here are her stats: 27 1/2 inches long, 13lb 15oz. She was 15% for weight and 97% for height. She is constantly changing and I have been bad about documenting it. Here are some things that she does. She is very vocal and loves to either scream(especially in church) or coo. She loves being tickled and held,ALOT. Seems like I can't get much done cause she has anxiety when I leave the room. She can sit up on her own, likes to "sky dive" when she is on her belly, and has been rolling back and forth since right around 4 months. I think her most favorite thing is yogurt. She absolutely LOVES it. I have found the best baby yogurt that has fruits and veggies in it. She isn't real fond of grean beans but this yogurt has it disguised in it so it works out great!

4 month check up

I cannot believe Savannah is 4 months!! She is growing so fast and is just so cute! She has the sweetest smile and a contagious laugh. This appointment was unusual, this time Jordan went with us and I made him stand up there while they gave her those awful shots. She cried soo hard! So her stats are this: 12 pounds 3 ounces, 25 inches long. From birth until now she has grown half a foot! She is a petite little girl ranking 25th percentile in weight and 80th percentile in height. The past few days she has been so grumpy, chewing on her hands and drooling. Well we looked tonight and she has two little buds on her bottom jaw that I'm pretty sure look like teeth!! Wow! Already??? She is such a blessing and probably the cutest little girl I have even seen(totally not biased, Im dead serious :0) ).

13 weeks and belly laughing!

There is so much that has happened that I have missed putting on here like her first smile, discovering her hands etc. Motherhood has been such a journey and has really flown by, even with a cranky newborn. I love this little girl so much, I just can't even describe the feeling. I would do anything for her and try and protect her from what I can. She really is such a blessing in our lives! Here are a few clips I was able to capture of her laughing. They aren't as big as the first ones but I couldn't get to the camera in time. So what happened is we were getting ready for bathtime and I had decided I would try clipping her nails(what a joke), she must have thought my look of utter concentration was hilarious because she just started cracking up!! I couldn't believe it! Jordan came over and started tickling her and she did the same thing. So awesome.

The sweetest girl

I know I have been HORRIBLE about blogging and I know I need to get better at it so I can keep track of things that are happening I'm just so busy!! Savannah takes up all of my time but I will post a couple of recent pictures here and I will post some of whats been going on real soon!

Family photos

We had our family photo's done a couple of weeks ago and here are some of my favorites.

follow-up appointment

Savannah had her follow-up today on her weight. I was advised last wen. to stop with the breastmilk and start soy formula for about four days. I did that for one day and decided it was too hard on her system so I would breastfeed and then I would bottle feed her milk that I had pumped. Turns out she wasn't getting enough from breastfeeding cause she would gulp down 2 oz after a feeding. So today her weight was 6 lbs. 15 oz! That's 11oz in 6 days! Man I am so glad we figured it out! So now I soley pump and feed her with a bottle. She is a great little eater and is just as cute as a button!

Labor Day! revised AGAIN

I finally have a moment when I can post, although I should be sleeping! On February 16th we had our final appointment with our Dr. to see how I have progressed. I go in and start the usual, pee in a cup, weigh myself and blood pressure. Shockingly my blood pressure was 166/100. I couldnt believe it! So she took it manually and it was 160/88. At this point we needed to make a decision to either go to the hospital or wait a few days. The decision was made, go home pack a bag, get something to eat and then head over to the hospital! I couldn't believe this was happening! I was so scared. We checked in to the hospital that night around 9. Around 10 my pitocin was started. At 2ish my water was broken and epidural started. By 400am I was 9 1/2cm dilated, and by 435am Savannah Marie Beutler came into this world. Her first couple days were pretty rough. She had jaundice pretty bad and had to be put on phototherapy while we were in the hospital and at home. By that following Monday her Dr. gave her a clean bill of health! Now we are just working on getting full feedings and sleeping whenever we can. I never knew I could love someone so much, even though there have been trying times I wouldn't have it any other way. She is having her pictures taken on Friday so as soon as I get them I will post! P.S. Savannah was born Feb 17th at 3:45am 6lb 80z 19 inches long. lost 8oz by day 3 then regained 3 by the following Monday and continues to grow. I weighed her on Friday and she was about 6lb 12oz..
OK so Savannah had her two week appointment today and it turns out she has only gained 1 oz since her last visit which is not good. She only weighs 6lb 4 oz. I had a really hard day because her Dr told me I need to give her formula only for the next five days or so to see how she does. I am still pumping but am sad that her and I aren't sharing that one thing anymore that no other person shared. Hopefully we can figure this out and I can get back to breastfeeding.
