Noggin, Snoze, Nose.
















In December I had surgery on my nose. I had a deviated septum. And the Doctor said it was so bad that he didn't know how I could breath out of it. And that I would benefit from not only getting the inside fixed, but the outside too. If I just fixed the inside then I might have to get that surgery re-done in a few years, so I decided to get both done. Now that I was getting the outside done, I wanted to get the bump removed. So, on December 22st(The day after Nathans birthday) I had surgery on my nose. The night before my parents, and brother and his family came to help take care of the girls and spend Christmas together. Nathan took me in and while I was in surgery he went to get my prescription and hit a poll in the parking lot with the car. So, funny,  I had to share. So, I went home to recover and was completely out of it. I went later to watch Christmas video's and didn't remember just about everything, let alone even filming it all. About a week after, my nose was swelling pretty good and then came the wonderful day of taking the bandage off. Wow, new nose. It still was pretty swollen though. Everyone asks me if it was horrible with the gauze stuffed up my nose, and I say nope. I really couldn't breath before, and with the gauze up there, like 8 inches of it, it felt sort of normal. And when the Dr. took it out, that was the first time I could breath in over ten years. I still can't believe that I can close my mouth and not hear a whistling sound from my nose. I thing the I wasn't expecting was such a change internally with me. I thought that my nose was the only thing that changed but I truly went through a healing in my soul too. This was a very weired, emotional, and great experience and I am glad I did it.

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

Ultrasound and Pregnancy Woes

I went to another Ultrasound and Doctor's appointment this week. They said that our baby is now 2 pounds 13 ounces. She had her foot and hands up by her face when we started looking at her and by the end she kicked her leg back down. I think we startled her. She looks perfect right now...she just needs to get bigger. Can you please explain to my why I have stretch Marks on my butt only? Yep, that's right, I have been rubbing that stretch mark cream on myself like I am showering in it and the only place I got them is on my used to be small butt. I have the biggest butt now with stretch marks. I am so glad they are behind me so I really don't see them all the time. They just hurt like hell. Give me a butt pad or something. Ahhh. My back has been killing me lately too...so I went to a chiropractor. It was amazing! Who knew that adjusting my back would make a huge difference. It cleared up my sinus problems and I can actually breath now. And that was just my first appointment. ...
