Weekend Projects




This weekend we have been very busy. I bought a rocking chair from Deseret Industries, a thrift store, for only $15 dollars. The only thing it needed was a new paint job. And that's where Nathan comes in...he spray painted it black and now it looks brand new. As if we paid $150 for it. It took a long time and he is still not completely done, but I think it was worth it. He also sprayed this cedar chest that my Dad made me for my graduation present. So, now we are going to make the cedar chest into a coffee table. Thanks Dad for letting us do so many modifications to it. And thank you Nathan for doing all these projects that I can't do while I am Prego! I am addicted to buying things cheap and revamping them into expensive pieces. Everyone keeps asking me when what we are having. I know I really look like I should know by now...I am really getting big. But, in just two weeks we will know. So, be patient for a little longer, Okay?! I can't wait either!

Holy Cow...I can't believe you have a baby in your belly! It's going to be so weird when I see you next! I can't wait. I might cry, so watch out! hehe Those pieces look awesome! I wish I could see you on Thanksgiving. I think I might just have to do something that mom would to take my mind away from it...like go to a buffet somewhere or picnic or something. Sheesh this is hard! I miss you too much! I can't wait to know whether you have my niece or nephew in your stummy!

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...

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...
