California and Family



































For the past two weeks Cheryl and I have been in California. My Uncle Rick passed away suddenly and so I went out to CA to be with my family. Nathan couldn't go because of work and so Cheryl and I took a girl's road trip. She was so good in the car. She slept most of the time. I just have to say, that is a really boring drive!
I love my Uncle Rick and his family. The funeral was beautiful and very special. Just knowing that we will see him again someday makes everything seem so much better. I am so proud of my Aunt and all the kids. I am so grateful to be a part of such a loving, caring, wise and beautiful family. Although, I wish I were going to visit under better circumstances...we have already become closer as a family. I was able to spend time with my Dad, Mom, Sister's and Brother. It was so good to see all of you! I need a good dose of the Campbell family a lot more. Being so far from family is hard for me...so going out to visit was wonderful.
Cheryl had her first Halloween with Grandma and Grandpa Campbell and her cousins. That was a lot of fun to go trick or treating after a 14 year gap. It was really good to see my Prego Joi and her growing belly. You are beautiful sweetie. Also, seeing Heather Feather and her kids. It just reminded me how fast kids grow up. My Cam, his wife, Vivi and their cute place was great to see too. I think I shopped with all of them and that was great...because I love to shop. I left Cheryl to hang out with her Uncle Rob...they are too cute together. He is going to be a good Daddy, Joi. Cheryl just loved her crazy little cousins. She really could care less about kids her age. She wants to play with kids older, just like her cousins. I miss you all!
We also visited her cousins, Gilli and Aidean and Aunt Kristy and Uncle Robert, Nathan's brother's family. I am not sure if Cheryl thought that Robert was her Daddy or what. They look alike, and she seemed to really like here uncle a lot. Gilli was so cute with her and even wanted to give her little chair to Cheryl. That was so adorable. It was good to see you guys, we are going to have to come out again and visit much longer. Cheryl and I also visited our friends, Steve and Emily. They have a big white rabbit and she just loved it. Thanks, Bunny for taking a couple of jabs and the eye. Steve got out his Halloween Ape mask and didn't scare Cheryl at all, in fact she really liked it. We got a funny little girl, that is scared of the vacuum cleaner, but not scared of a very creepy Ape mask. Ummmm.
All in all it was a very rewarding and memorable trip. Nathan is very happy he has us back home. While we were gone, Nathan was in Nebraska and stuck in a blizzard. Being near family, didn't make me worry as much as I usually do. I am so glad he is safe and nothing bad happened. My knees are so sore for praying so much lately. I am so thankful for all I have and all my wonderful friends and family. Love you all!

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...

When will she arrive?

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

Our Baby Girl's Room

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
