Christopherson Lane

The Baby room is getting more attention now. I have decorated the walls and put new bedding in the crib. I thought about painting the walls but I think it looks better with the original cream color. I really didn't want to much going on in there. She is one lucky girl to have all this attention to her room. If you didn't notice from the pictures we have decided to name her Cheryl Love Christopherson. She is named after her Grandma Christopherson that has passed away from breast cancer. She was a amazing woman and so little Cheryl has some big shoes to fill. My next project is to make some cute little dresses for her. We can't wait for her arrival. XOXO-Erin

On Friday I had another doctor's appointment. It went really good. I am still gaining weight...although the doctor says it is mostly water. I am happy it is not all fat. I have still been doing yoga and that has helped with my back pain. I recommend yoga to anyone pregnant or not. My doctor says that if I keep up having such a great pregnancy than I will have a short delivery...and I really hope so. I am trying to keep positive about everything and maybe it will actually happen. I will update another picture tomorrow, so watch for my ever growing belly. I would like to do a shout out to my father in law. Happy Birthday Grandpa Joe. We went to Rusty's Steakhouse for dinner on Friday night for the big birthday celebration and it was so much fun. Thank you. Great food and great company. XOXO-Erin

On Sunday morning I woke up and made pancakes for breakfast. I usually open the blinds to let the light in and found a bright yellow smiley face in the sky. Cedar City was having their annual hot air balloon show throughout the weekend. It was a really nice way of waking up to start my day. We then went to Stake Conference and it was a nice change of pace for the usual Sunday. Overall we had such a great day. XOXO-Erin

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...

My Doctor has been bugging me to start doing Yoga. Now, I really resisted him because I thought that walking and lifting 2 pound weights were plenty of exercise for me. Well, that is until I had to get weighed at the last Doctor's appointment. I cannot reveal what I weigh, but it is a lot...and I got a little teary eyed when I found out the amount. Needless to say, I am starting to look at doing the whole yoga thing. I tried it out today and I gotta say, I can't really bend like those women can. This picture pretty much sums up what I can do right now. I hope I can get better...but I am also getting bigger...so I don't know how much I will do. XOXO-Erin
