Newborn Pictures

We went to a studio in Oceanside to have Owen's newborn pictures taken. I originally wanted to do them myself but they are only a newborn once and I got nervous the quality wouldn't be what I wanted if I did them. The pictures turned out cute enough although the subject was already cute, and after I did a little editing were very happy with the end result.

1st bath

Owen's umbilical cord fell off when he was about 5 days old and shortly after he got his first bath on his sea turtle sponge. He didn't cry at all so I'm assuming he didn't' mind too much....maybe another water baby!?!?

G-ma & G-pa Sapp Visits

Grandma & Grandpa Sapp made the drive from MO to CA just in time to make Owen's arrival with less then a day to spare. While visiting they got lots of grandparent time in and kept Bailey super busy & spoiled her rotten as always. Bailey made a list of places she wanted to go to while they were here which included SD Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Chuckie Cheese, Toys-R-Us, and the dollar store; they made it to every place on the list and more. Unfortunately all the pictures they took of their time with Bailey got deleted on their camera so there are very few of their adventures but all that matters is they all had a great time.

Owen's 1st Week

Owen did a lot of sleeping and being held his first week, but also experienced a lot while doing his snoozing away. His first earthquake happened and he slept right through it, a shopping trip to the Spectrum, and he even made it to his first movie to see Shrek 3. He had his one week check up and weighed 7lbs 4oz which is a loss of 6 oz but it is very normal to lose weight at first, and was 19 1/2 in long. When born they only measured him at 19in but because babies don't have time to stretch out enough it's normal for them to be longer at the first check up then when born. His first week of life was very busy but he's a great baby and didn't mind at all.

Padres Game

We had tickets to attend a Padres game on July 1st but wasn't sure if we would even make it depending on when Owen wanted to make his grand appearance luckily he wanted to wait two days so Bailey & I were able to attend our first Padres game with Jeremy.

busy, busy, busy

We've been so busy since Owen with all of our company and still balancing everything we had going on this summer I have seriously been slacking on updated posts. It is my hope before school starts again in about a week to get completely caught up. We have more company coming Wednesday and friends of ours that moved are camping at the beach for a week so hopefully I can squeeze in the posts somewhere:)

Happy 4th of July

Because of good reasons Jeremy & I spent our 4th in the hospital. Owen's circumcision wasn't scheduled until Monday morning & either way he had to stay at the hospital for at least 24 hours before going home. Were so blessed to have Baby Owen but it was the first holiday I've ever spent away from Bailey in four years so it was pretty bitter sweet. We still stayed busy with visits from Bailey, Grandma & Grandpa Sapp, Jenna, Guito, Hunter, Kelly, & Luke. Bailey really enjoyed the hospital food especially the cake and we took what pictures we could of Bailey & Owen sporting some red, white, and blue.

Welcome Baby Owen

After a quick entrance into the world Owen Matthew Sapp made his first appearance only one day early on July 3rd @ 7:58 pm. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 19in long. We finally decided on his name the morning of the 4th and I couldn't picture him as anything else other than an Owen. Bailey really had her hopes set on Baby Ariel HoHo(from Ni Hao Kai Lan) Baby Ryder Moon Sapp but I just don't think he would appreciate that name in a few years:) Owen seems to be adjusting well to the outside world and so far Bailey loves having her little brother around and wants to hold and love him all the time.

38 1/2 weeks

On a last minute whim we decided to have a friend of ours just snap some pics at the beach. They were free and took about a total of 15 minutes to do, but to our surprise turned out better than we would've thought.

My Fav!

Were now at exactly 39 weeks, before Bailey's recital this last Saturday having the baby wasn't an option, but now that we made it to the recital we are ready whenever he decides he's wants to come out. My due date is still July 4th which is now less than a week away so we shall see if he decides to come out this week. Bailey was only two days early so my guess is Thursday or Friday. We still haven't decided on a name so I guess the longer he waits the better:)
