singing, singing all the way

Dear Giver,

Give said the little stream
Give, oh give
Give, oh give
Give said the little stream
As it hurried down the hill
I'm small I know but wherever I go
The grass grows greener still
 
Singing, singing all the day
Give away, oh give away
Singing, singing all the day
Give, oh give away
 
This is my sons favorite song, I sing it every night to my sweet little guy. I love the lyrics, and how simple they are. I love to give! Giving gifts, giving time, giving talents, giving of myself.
For Halloween I like to have my kids make treats for their classmates. Miss June is in preschool, and Miss Cheryl is in first grade, so it is still really fun to get them involved in gift giving. But I hope that the older get they will want give still.
 
 
 
I love this time of year, that we get to remind ourselves that giving to others is so important. Our Family quote this year is:
 
 
 
 
Giving a gift is a tricky kind of thing. And this is why I say tricky, we can give something to someone and want to know what they are going to do with it and even go as far as telling them what they should do with it. That way is tricky, people will get feelings hurt and may cause problems in a relationship. The way to give a gift that I recommend is to give the gift and be happy that you gave. Give that gift with the feeling that it is for them to decide what they do with it, since it is essentially there's now anyway. Giving is the only way that we can feel happy. And isn't that what we really want here on earth is to be happy?
 
Sincerely, Erin

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. ...
