June Elise one month old, really?





















The first month has come and gone. WOW, it was all a blur. Having a newborn, a 21 month old, a husband that works 6 days a week(leaving me 2 to 3 days at a time), now having only one car to drive(which Nathan takes to work, because I am not driving my kids to drop Daddy off at 2 in the morning), basically on only 4 hours a sleep in a 24 hour period, and trying this whole breastfeeding thing are only a few things I have had to endure this past month. So, if you are wondering where I have been this past month, I am in crazy town, going bonkers. I am in love with my new precious addition, June. Other then her baby acne and cradle cap, she is beautiful. She is such a good baby. Not a big crier like my first born. She grunts a lot though and it's funny. Cheryl is so wonderful with her. She has her moments that she acts like a true two year old but she is pretty great. I am going to start a new venture with her now. I want to start potty training her...I think. She also took a nose drive off her crib and freaked me out, so we are in the process of converting her crib into a toddler bed then soon she will get into a twin bed. Lots of changing for that little girl lately. She has been so patient(as much as a toddler can be) with me as I devote so much of my time with June, lately. I can't wait until they can play together. That will be fun.
I am not like most women, I don't like being pregnant, I don't like newborns, and I really don't like breastfeeding. Now don't get me wrong, I Love my little girls and love to be a mom, but I don't like to feel out of control and those things make me feel that way. I am so blessed to have two beautiful daughters and a wonderful hubby too. I am getting sleep now so that makes mommy very happy.

gorgeous daughters! congrats:)
So Cute!! can't wait to come see you. Love you and your cute family.
She is so cute!

That is a whole lot to handle! I think it took me about 5 months to get used to having a 3 year old and a baby, so I can't imagine a 21 month old!

And good job with the breastfeeding. It does take a lot of dedication and hassle, but it's such a good gift to your baby girl!

I'm sooo with you...I too hated being pregnant (this time around) and did not like the newborn phase. Though I love breastfeeding, it's wonderful, and if you keep it up it WILL get better!
Now with Potty Training I have the MOST wonderful and easy going potty training method called 3 Days Potty Training...YEAH! 3 days! AND IT WORKS!
For me it took 7 days but it was b/c I was VERY sick with a terrible cold and feeling miserable and so was Gus.
If you'd like I can send you the book, it's a e-book. Email me at thabataeri@gmail.com
t's hard working but sooo worth it. I did it las month with Wyatt and he's diaper free for a month, tells me when he needs to go, holds if he has to, wakes up dry from naps I'm just not rave enough to bite the bullet for night time so I put him in pull ups, but we're ready to take them away too. Also he's starting to go potty on his own...And I give 100% credit to the 3 Day Potty Training method

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
