This is Bella....

This is the bottle of bitter spray that was supposed to detract our little chewer from chewing...


Hmmmm.....

I have to admit that last picture was a staged re-creation, but this bottle was half full when she chewed it up. I think I should send these pictures to their company. Maybe they will give me my money back. I guess that's why she chewed up a whole rug after I sprayed it.

This is Jaydas chunky self hanging out right before her bath. Just a cute picture I wanted to post.
And this is her first real bottle at my Grandma and Grandpa West's house.

K now down to business. We moved last Thursday but still have not closed on our town home. Hopefully that will be happening tomorrow. Don't ask me why title companies are never on time. I am also back at work as of Monday. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. On Sunday the talks in sacrament were about peace, they were really nice and they inspired me to pray for peace in leaving my new daughter all day so I did. I know that Heavenly Father answered my prayer and blessed me with peace. I can't have things perfectly the way I want them but I feel ok with that right now.

Life Changes

Our house has finally sold! It happened really fast and they only gave us until September 10th to be out. We found a house in Clinton that will hopefully work out, but if not, we will probably find a place to rent until we can get something else worked out.

Below are some of Jayda's newborn pictures. I was really happy with how they turned out especially since she was fussy and crying most of the time. She will be one month old on Friday and I can't believe it. I don't like how quickly time is passing, it means I will have to go back to work soon. :(

This is her blessing dress. My mom and I were both blessed in it.

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.
