Birthdays

Tyler and I both had good B-days!! Tyler had to work on my birthday so he bought me some flowers and Krystal came to stay the weekend with us and took me out to eat! It was nice to have the chance to sit down and talk to krystal now that she does live on this side of town we don't spend as much time with her.

Tyler had school all day and work all night on his birthday so I made him Dr. Pepper Cake for his short break and while he was a work I got the chance I finished his Birthday gift

. Our spare bedroom is all Jimi Hendrix so I thought it needed a little more and of course Tyler loved it! Happy Birthday to us!! Tyler is 30 years old!!! Our best gift came a month before though!! Our little sweetheart Ashley!!

We love to take Pictures!

Well if you can not tell yet we love to take pictures! Ashley is growing so much and is so much more aware of us and what is going on around her! She now weighes 7lbs 13oz! She finnally is fitting into her newborn clothes! We have enjoyed every min w her!

Things I am learning!

 Things I have learned now that I am a mom!

....My mom is Amazing!! (well I knew that before but she was a wonderful help after ashley was born and we  miss her and I am sure glad she was here)

....I worry so much more! I wake at the smallest noise wondering if she is ok!!
....Sleeping is done whenever I get a chance! Not always at night!!
....My husband is a great help but can't do a whole lot during the night when all she wants to do is eat!!

....Girls are way too much fun to dress and put bows on!!!! (even though she doesn't fit into any of her cute newborn cloths yet)

.....Being a MOM is awesome!!! I don't know what I would do with out Ashley!!

and soo soo many more things and I know I will continue to learn even more everyday! Here are some more cute pictures of my sweet little girl!!

Pictures

She is finally here!! Ashley Lynn Christiansen

Well she finnally decided to come out and meet the world. Ashley Lynn Christiansen was born on Saturday 9/5/09 @ 5:54am 6 pds 2oz and 19 1/2 in long. She is so pretty and healthy. We went to the hospital after my water broke at 7 pm on friday. My mother had decided to come to az on Friday cause I was most likey going to be induced Today, but we didn't have to wait that long.

It was a very long night but I was so glad when it was all done and over with. I keep crying cause I was so happy she was finnally here!

Here is our first family picture taken! She was so awake and aware of what was going on around her.

I love this picture of daddy and his little girl! She is just looking up at him! She got really yellow and her count was high so we had to stay in the hospital a extra day so that she could be put under a blue light to get her color good. We got to come home today and we were so glad to be home. She such a good baby so far! She sleeps really good and all the nurses said she was one of the best babies! More pictures are sure to come of our sweet little miss.

( she is wearing the same outfit that I wore home from the hospital.)

Waiting Game!

Well only 10 more days left until I am due! If I do not have her before the Sept 6th than I will be induced that same week! So at the most I only have two more weeks to go! We are still hoping that she will come soon!! Little by little she is coming closer to having her in our arms!

Tyler started school on Monday and it has already been a long week for him. It will be a long semester for him with a new baby at home also! Tyler is going to Mesa Community College to be a engineer. He has at least three years ahead of him and lots of classes! I am excited for him to be going to back to school.

Well we will keep you updated and hopefully the next time I post it will have pictures of our baby!

Getting Ready for Baby!

Well I am now 35 weeks and only have 5 more weeks give or take! I am getting really excited and really tired! We are finally almost ready for her to be here! We got her room all put together and it is so cute. Makes me smile everyday when I walk past the room. We still have a few small things to get at the store! Here are some the pictures of her cute room. Only 5 weeks!!!

Baby Shower #2

Thanks to my wonderful sister in law and mom! My baby shower in AZ turned out really good! We had a lot of fun. We planned games and ate great food and had a really good time. It is funny to see when everyone thinks I will be having the baby! So I decided I would ask every one else to guess a day! When do you think Ashley will make her appearance? I have heard as early as Aug. 20th to as late as Sept. 18th!! Oh and I am due on Sept 6, for those who have forgotten who would like to guess! Only 61/2 weeks to go well give or take a couple of weeks!!

Pictures are coming also!!

Baby Shower #1

This past weekend we got the chance to go to New Mexico and spend some time with family. My mom and anut Tammi and Grandma Paulson throw me a baby shower and it was so nice! We had it at Lola Brown's house and it was nice to be able to meet with lots of family and get together and celebrate the coming of our Ashley. Only 8 more weeks! We got some really good stuff and lots of really cute clothes. She will be a very well dresses spoiled little girl! The one thing I didn't have or any one else for that matter was a camera so no pictures!! Thank you to all of you who were able to make it!

Little Kicks

Well things are going really good here but not a whole lot going on right now any ways! I am now almost 31 weeks and 3 days and only 2 months to go or 8 1/2 weeks left! I am so excited to have her in our arms! The closer I get to my due date the more I smile and am so excited! She is always moving and it is nice to know she is in there! She kicks a little hard at time but I think it is just a reminder she is coming soon! Today I had a Dr. Apt and it was so funny she kicked the dr. everytime the dr had her hands on my belly! Everything is going good no problems or concerns. Only 2 more months!! Maybe earlier or maybe later!!
