Sayer's Birth Story

What can I say? My whole life has been captured on camera. Growing up, my dad was always within arms reach of a videocamera and my mom always had a spare role of film for the still camera, just in case. Heaven forbid any moment of my life not be documented.

Well, as they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Being the perfect combination of both my parents, I'm always taking video and still pictures of any moment in my life that I may want to relive. Including giving birth to my son...

So, here it is. Video of the most amazing day of my life.

Warning: It's a tearjerker.

For all the details, check out my birth story on PregTASTIC! My mom and I also shot a video where we discuss the birth story. You can watch it here.

Sayer is Born!

Sayer Ryan Gault

Born: Tuesday, July 27th at 7:56am
Weight: 9 lbs, 2 ounces
Length: 22 1/2 inches

We're just so excited! He's absolutely perfect. Labor and delivery went amazingly well (thank God for epidurals) and both mom, dad and baby are doing well! I'll be blogging about everything shortly on my website and on Sayer's website, but for now... I need some sleep :)

Look for his birth announcement in the North County Times, Sunday, August 8th! Additional announcements in The San Diego Union Tribune, The Akron Beacon Journal and Tallmadge Express coming soon!

A Day at Dog Beach

Well, we had the best of intensions...

We planned to spend the day at Dog Beach in Del Mar, a great location where dogs are able to frolic in the sun, the surf and the sand. We thought this was the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with Fizzy, our four pound teacup poodle, since he was about to become a big brother.

And we did. Of course, our plan also kick started my contractions...

Our "Son in the Sun" Baby Shower!

When we first learned we were having a boy... I immediately started thinking about possible themes for our baby showers. We knew we wanted something sports-oriented, so we chose an All-Star theme for our Ohio baby shower. We also wanted to celebrate the sun, surf and the sand with our California family and friends.

The phrase "Fun in the Sun" is a bit overused, so I adjusted it and came up with "Son in the Sun". You can do fun things like that when your parents name you after weather patterns :)

Our California baby shower was held two weeks before my due date... yeah, no pressure there. Fortunately, everything turned out perfectly and Sayer decided to hold off on his grand entrance into the world.

Thanks to everyone who made the day so special! We're so excited that our son will be growing up around such wonderful people. To view more photos, click here.
