First Appt. with the Doctor!




Who knew Doctor appointments would be so great! Doctor Heath is wonderful. Probably the best one I have ever met...and I have seen my fair share of Doctor's. He retired from the Navy and just recently moved to Cedar City. Which I am so happy about. I was able to hear the heart beat, and see a picture of our baby. We did an ultrasound and found out that we now have just one baby. I know, some people were hoping for more than one...except for me...I really just want one at a time. I couldn't stop crying when I saw our baby. It was kind of surreal. The Doctor confirmed that we are about 10 weeks, and he said that everthing looks great. The placenta is in the wrong place right now, but he said it should move the more time goes by. So, yes I am definitely Pregnant. And now that I have seen our baby, I am even more excited about this, whole being pregnant thing. In just four weeks I will be back in the Doctor's office. And just ten more weeks and we will be able to tell if we are having a boy or girl. How exciting. I used to dread doctor's appointments, and now I am really excited about them.



I am now in awe of how life is created and what a miracle life really is.



XOXOXO- Erin

I love that you are going to be a mother ( I mean, technically, you already are right? ) My little sisters are so grown up...now if only I could get through my stinkin' issues and stop crying every day. hehe I should have a crazy day tomorrow...I'll let you know how it goes!

Erin,
We are so happy for you! How exciting to get to experience the fun milestones in pregnancy. The miracle of life is incredible! What a special time in your life. You and Nathan will make wonderful parents! That is a great picture the doctor was able to get. It looks like you may have a very photogenic baby on your hands.:-)

January 5th, 2009!

Cheryl Love Christopherson was born on 01-05-09, weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces, and 18 inches long. Happy Birthday, we love you! We went to the hospital at 2a.m. Monday morning to be induced for labor, they gave me Patocin to get it going...I was already dilated to 3 centimeters at that time. At around 11 or so I received the wonderful Epidural, Yeah! I still was not progressing, and next thing we knew Cheryl was not handling the contractions very well. They had to turn the Patocin off and turned the Epidural off...because I couldn't feel my legs at all. The doctor said if we don't progress and the contractions keep bugging the baby then we would have to do a C-section. Great! I thought...get this over with already....I don't care how! Well, I didn't have to have a C-section after all and by 5 p.m. I was finally in full dilation. Witch meant...Time to push, I pushed for 2 hours and there she was, a beautiful little girl at 7:18 p.m. What a long day, to say the least! Ther...

Boy or Girl?

Does anyone want to know if we are having a boy or girl? Well, I went to the Doctor on Tuesday, while Nathan was in Salt Lake working. They have the ultrasound technician there only on Tuesdays and there was no way that Nathan could be there because he goes to SLC every week for work. So, we didn't want to share the pictures from the ultrasound until Nathan saw them first. Then we had another appointment at the doctor's for a check up on Friday. I am gaining so much weight it is disgusting. Before I went to the first appointment, I gave our baby a pep talk...you know, to be photogenic and all that. Our baby did so good. Oh, I haven't said what we are having, have I!? Okay, no more stalling, boy oh boy, we are having a baby girl! We couldn't be happier, and now we can buy tons of pink. She is so active...keeping me up at night already. She really doesn't stop moving. So far, I think she takes after me...Nathan is so mellow and she is anything but that right now. I gu...

Does anyone have a trank gun!

Sometimes I feel like a toddler, discovering my belly button for the first time. My belly button is so unrecognizable now. The only problem I am finding about being pregnant is all the body changes. I mean, weight! Being thin for 28 years then ballooning up in a matter of months has really scared me. I know, I know, everyone says that I will loose it all very quickly, but I still don't like it. At church I looked down at my feet and ankles and realized that I no longer have any ankles...they have morphed into cankles...Yuk! I was so discussed that I almost threw up. I wish I was one of those women who don't gain hardly anything and don't really look like they are pregnant until they give birth. Okay, enough of poor me! It's not hard to remind myself that I am pregnant though...I can't go an hour without her kicking me. There is life in there...I am so happy whenever I can feel her. I am happy really easily...just give me chips or ice cream and I am fine. Which isn...
