Updates


Okay I know I haven't posted anything in a while and I am usually on top of these things. Well, I have been super busy trying to get everything semi-ready for this new little girl to arrive. Dr. appointments haven't been that great either. Up until last week the baby was in Breach position, which means she was sideways. She finally turned and now she is not stretching me sideways, but putting pressure on my back. Every time I overdue it...which now, overdoing it means a few things a day...I am in pain majorly. So, I am really trying to take it easy and rest...hard to do when I've got a toddler to chase around. So, just a couple more weeks hopefully. But, the good news is that that baby is in position and I don't have to freak out if I am having a C-section...which still might happen but it's not as likely. Anyway, along with the pregnancy brain that I have...I have been trying to sew and get things done for our baby girl. I have made 20 bibs, personalized big sister and little sister t-shirts, made 2 nursing covers, made car seat canopy cover, made 5 pacifier clips, made a cover for a recycled swing, made a crib rail cover, made a diaper bag and I think that is all. I have so many clothes and blankets that I really didn't have to make any or even buy much for this baby and that was really nice. I love to sew and would love to be sewing all day every day, but I am a mom first so I am putting my sewing machine away for now and can't wait to sew again. I still haven't finished the list of projects that I want to do but I am having a hard time sitting for a long time, so the list will just have to wait. Anyway, this pregnancy is different, I do have more energy, but I am still downing half a bottle of tums every other day. I will keep you posted and take pictures of the things that I sewed. But for now pray for me that the delivery goes well. Thanks.

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...

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...

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...
