Christmas 2011!




































Christmas this year was very interesting. On the 22nd I had surgery on my nose, and that is why I am not in any picture. All I could do was sit on the couch and take pictures...and I could hardly see so the pictures aren't that great. I thought that just my Mom was coming out to help watch the girls while I was out of it, but she didn't come alone. Surprise, surprise, my Dad, Cameron my brother, his wife Vivian and my nephew Derek (that I had never met), showed up at the door and said they were staying for Christmas. That was the best Christmas gift I could ever have. Now that surgery wasn't that bad....because I had family out. Although, I was out of it and still can't remember half of what happened, it was so good to have them out. Thank you, Thank you for coming and that you were able to. To the rest of my family who couldn't come, I miss you and can't wait to see you too. Christmas Eve we read the birth of Christ in Luke 2 and sang lots of Christmas songs, while Cheryl did a great job of leading the music. Then Santa came. Christmas day was so fun, we woke up and I started taking a video first while the girls were walking down the stairs. So, I will put that video on here soon. I sat on the couch as the girls and Nathan opened all the presents. They were so cute, and they loved everything they got. Thanks for all the gifts.  I am not really sure what we did that day, other than play with the presents. A couple days later we got more gifts from Aunt Angela and cousin Jacob, the girls love the fun blankets. All in all Christmas was pretty great. Thanks all who made it special.

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...

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...

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...
