2 week appointment

Jayda had her two week appointment today. She weighs 9 lbs 2 oz which is the 90th percentile, she is 21/5 inches long which is the 95th percentile (can they really grow 2 1/2 inches in two weeks?!) and her head is 36.5 cm which is the 50-75 percentile. Whew! She is a big baby! Not a surprise though. That is how I was. She is doing well and we will go back again when she is 2 months.

On a side note, here are pictures of her room that I never posted. We tried to find a different place for the computer but it wouldn't fit anywhere else. It doesn't go with the decor but we are grateful to have one. :)

These picture frames are waiting for her newborn pictures.

I just wanted to post a few things about Jayda and what she is like so far.

-She is a really great sleeper. She has her schedule of waking up at 9pm, 1am, 5am, and 8am. When she wakes up she just sits there and grunts and tries to suck on her hand or her blanket.

-She doesn't cry a ton. She cries at bath-time and if her tummy hurts from gas. Or when we hire a professional photographer to take her pictures. :)

- One of my favorite things is that she gives us little grins all the time.

We are loving having her here with us and are excited to watch her grow. We feel so blessed to have her here with us and are very grateful that she is part of our family!

Our Little Love Bug

Our baby is finally here! Jayda Michelle Schow was born on July 28th at 10:24 pm. She weighed 8 pounds 13 oz and is 19 inches long. We are so grateful that she is safe and in our arms. Here are a few pics.

This is me after the epidural. Just waiting for things to progress.

Our beautiful little girl

They are officially grandparents :)

See the resemblance? Me neither :)

At home

9 Month pic

I have pictures from camping, my family shower, the 4th ,etc., but I am not in the mood to go to that much work right now so here is a picture of my baby bump at 9 months exactly.

Mom

I found this picture in my photo album and it made me so excited. I have about had it with being pregnant and I am ready to be a mom.

Friends

My friends Heather and Makelle threw a shower for me on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and they put way more work into it than I deserved! I have to say that I have the best friends. They have been the ones that have stayed in touch with me and been supportive of me through everything. I don't stay in touch with too many people but I absolutely love the ones I am still in contact with. These girls are the best!

Here is how the room was decorated, and you can't see it very well but there was tons of really amazing food! YUM!


I have known Heather since I was born pretty much and I have known Brittney since either kindergarten or first grade. I have so many fun memories with both of them and I am lucky to be able to see them fairly often.


This is Makelle and I have known her since we moved back to Utah half way through my eighth grade year. We kept in contact through high school (She went to WX) and also had lots of good memories down at UVSC together.


Carrie and I met when I was down at UVSC and she moved into the apartment I was living in. I was lucky enough to live with her for two years. I owe this girl a lot.


This is us showing off our spoils from the game of memory. Heather was in charge of the games and they were adorable. She even coordinated the candy bars to go with the matches we turned over. Breastfeeding=Milky Way, Babysitting=airheads, Dirty Diapers=Mounds etc, Cute huh?

This is us in the kitchen trying to get Jayda to move with an ice cube. She didn't feel like moving for them. :(

I love my mom, that's all I have to say. She is gorgeous and was fun to have at the shower. She fit in well.

Once again, I am so grateful for my friends. They have each had a positive role in my life and I plan on them being a part of it forever. Thank you so much for treating me so well and for such a fun shower.

I give

We have resigned to the fact that we will probably still be in our house when Jayda comes and decided to give in and decorate her room. (It will be our computer room also because we don't have a phone jack in a decent place anywhere else in the house) We also needed some distracting projects to keep us busy and distract from the emptiness of our house lately. So here is a sneak peak at our work in progress. The finished product will come at a later date :)

This is our excited faces. This room is the only room in the house we haven't painted yet. Some of them have been painted twice!

Here is the 8 month belly in a Mickey Mouse shirt. I know you are all jealous of my designer sense of style! It's important to look your best even when painting. ;)
