Happy Birthday Savannah Rae Binns! Born 7/24/13 @ 8:48am. A tiny 10lbs 4oz and 22″ long- lol
Happy Birthday to our sweetest little Sabi Rae! You were a ginormo baby and everyone in the maternity ward couldn’t believe the little “Gordita” I gave birth to. I started having contractions at about 4am and waited to wake daddy at around 5:00am to tell him I thought we should head to the hospital in the morning. We got our bags together, took Charles out, texted the Dr. and headed to the hospital. You were so easy on me that Daddy and I walked into the hospital at 6:30am to find out that I was actually 9cm dilated already and you were on your way! The nurse called Dr. Paer straight away and he arrived 20 minutes later ready to deliver you. We made it to 10 cm sweating, shivering and squeezing Daddy’s hand so tight he said it hurt. Right before it was time to push they gave mommy and epidural so she wouldn’t feel the crazy forceps they used to pull your big ole head out. The dr. got you out in only 3 pushes and you were just so beautiful and perfect in every way. We feel so blessed and just stare at you in amazement. Your big sissy is absolutely in love with you and wants to be with you and take care of you all the time. Watching you two bond is the most amazing thing in the world. I am so excited for the journey ahead and watching you both grow…although i truly wouldn’t mind if you both stayed like this forever!!!! Happy Birthday sweet angel. We all love you more than you can ever imagine!!!

The time has come
Sabi we have both resisted for nearly 10 months now. The time has come. I am walking around feeling like an elephant as each day beyond your due date passes. I only had a 1/2 glass…and then another half glass…then another- kidding!! Seriously half was enough after not having any for 10 months and it tasted goooooooooooood. Dada had a big ole beer and his reaction was the same. Now come on out before i start sending hard liquor down there (kidding)!!
This doesn’t give Pookie nightmares but the small little crab at the beach does. Normal.
Sabi Rae
Today is your due date that the Dr. predicted. The 14th was your date that the ultrasound predicted. The time has come little punk butt. With all the moving you do in there, can’t you just wiggle your way out so we can meet you!?! It is only 11:27am here so you can still make it on time. Love you (even as you kick me in the ribs right now).
Why does big bird have his own post…b/c Nana paid $30.00 for that bird…that’s why! Sucka nana.

3 cm – Come on Sabi!
Today we had our check up for sweet Sabi! Momma is 3 cm dilated and Sabi is looking great! Dr. Paer did a membrane sweep and hopefully that moves things along a bit quicker. Her head is looking like a normal size and she didn’t get any bigger which is good b/c she is now measuring at 9lbs. He actually pushed his head with his finger b/c she is so low down. This girl is ready to come out! Her umbilical cord is around her neck so we will monitor during labor to make sure it doesn’t cause any issue but overall it was a fantastic report and we are all so excited to meet our new addition!! Nana got to meet Dr. Paer and really liked him as well. Let’s get this show on the road. Mommy is cramping and def. nesting so hopefully these are all good signs.
In other news, Charles got a good report from the vet that he is blessed with parasites which is far better than the alternative colon problem or stomach cancer. He is on his first dose of antibiotic and hopefully by the time Sabi comes he will stop leaking anal nasties all over the house. Pooks and I just gave him a bath so he’ll smell all sweet for his new lil sis which I am sure he will be thrilled to meet- lol. We also got report that the rest of our gang are doing great back in ST. Betsy has been hanging with a doggy pal and Lulu is just being her sweet little kitty self. Today we ran into our neighbor from ST parking across from us at the mall in Escazu…randomness!! Ok that is all to report for now. Had a great italian lunch which would more than hold me over if lil Sabi decided to make an arrival tonight – just sayin.
