My doctor has said that my due date is between January 5th to the 10th! I would like to know what everyone thinks when I will have this baby. Take a guess and whoever is the closest then we will name Cheryl's teddy bear after you! We are definitely ready now! We have a cradle, made by my Dad and also a great car seat and stroller finally. I think we were supposed to get that first, but oh well. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Campbell. Cheryl can now come home from the hospital and sleep in the cradle. XOXO-Erin

We had a great Christmas! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's for Christmas eve and stayed over until Christmas day. My parents came out from California and also Aunt Jenny, Uncle John and Alex. It was fun to just sit there and eat tons of sweets. We came home to lots of snow and it is still snowing today. I can't wait to play in it. We decided not to give each other gifts this year....since we are having a baby within two weeks, and we kinda wanted to give to others too. Anyway, we are so happy that we are about to be parents. It couldn't come at a better time of year, when we are reflecting on Jesus Christ's birth. I have been teary eyed these past few days...we are so blessed and lucky to have what we have. Thank you all for everything you do for us and others. One of the Christmas cards we received said, "God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God." -Matthew 5:9 XOXO-Erin

Happy Birthday Nathan! He is getting really old...not really, he is just 29. I got Nathan his first snow shovel, yes, the California man has been clearing the driveway of all the snow. Thank you, honey. He also got a cool BMX bike. I don't have enough words to express what I feel about him. All I can say is that I am truly flattered that God thought so much of me to put me with Nathan. Also, I took another picture of our finished tree. And again, I need Nathan's help to water that darn tree. Squats are kinda out of the question. It is totally worth it though, to have the smell of pine in our house. Love you so much, Babe! Next birthday will be way funner. XOXO-Erin

My sister, Joi, came out from California to visit me before I pop. It was so much fun. We saw Twilight finally and loved it. We went shopping a lot. Hung out and ate yummy food. There was a snow storm and Joi did a great job driving in the snow. She also gave our little girl some really cute clothes and much needed shampoos and clippers n' things like that. She is so thoughtful. She started Cheryl a cute little collection of fairies. Wow...this girl is so spoiled! Thanks Aunt Joi. Here are some more pictures after Joi left of the 5-7 inches of snow we just got. I love the snow...I just wish I could play in it. Once I squeeze this child out...I can't wait. I am so anxious to have her in my arms. Then I can make snow angels! XOXO-Erin

We had a fun weekend. On December 6th, we have been married for 5 years! Wow...seems like a long time. We went to Chili's for lunch, Dairy Queen for dinner and rented a couple movies. We also went and got a real Christmas tree. This will be the first year that we haven't had an artificial one. We were only able to put lights on it so far...but we will finish decorating it soon. I think we need more lights first. Not only did we start setting up for Christmas...it snowed on Monday and really made us feel like Christmas was coming. This year is really different, I don't really want anything under the tree. We are just so excited about having our baby girl that everything else seems less important. I wonder how Mary felt when she knew she was giving birth to the Savior? This year seems very special and I cannot wait to meet our little girl. I am so anxious and happy! XOXO-Erin

We had a Baby Shower Thanksgiving weekend at Grandma Campbell's house. Thank you everyone who helped out and came. It was so good to everyone and for everyone to see my big belly! I was a little overwhelmed that it was my shower and that I am actually having a baby, so I was a little under talkative and that doesn't happen very often for me. Cheryl got so many cute things and I was teary eyed on a few things. Thanks, everyone! XOXO-Erin

We had my Family over for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun. We had Robbe and Christine, my parents...Cameron and Vivian, my brother and his wife...Heather and Danny and there kids, Daniel, Natalie, and Matthew, my sister and her husband and there kids. The kids were so cute and fun. Thank you to all of you guys for coming all the way from sunny California and spend time with me and Nathan in cold Utah. My sister Joi and her husband Rob weren't able to come, but I get to see her in a couple of weeks...I can't wait...we get to see Twilight! I think everyone was in the kitchen one time to help out. Thanks for letting me sit and put my pregnant feet up! We also went to Zion's the day after and it was so beautiful! The scenery was worth the drive. I can't wait to spend the Holidays with family next year. XOXO-Erin
