All Smiles

Ashley smiles all the time and everytime we would get the camera to take a picture she would stop!! So we finnaly got some pictures of her smiling!! She has been smiling since day one and we just love to see it every day!

I have a wonderful Husband!!

I returned to working last Wednesday and It has been hard at times and it makes it even harder when our little girl does not want to sleep at night! I found my self sleeping on the couch and her in her rocker all night! I was not getting very good sleep that way! The other night Tyler decided he was going to try and help me get more sleep! Since Tyler does not go to bed before midnight most of the time anyways, and that is about the time she wakes up hungry first in the night. He decided to get her up and feed her and put her back to bed so that I could get the rest I needed for the next day! I took care of the other feedings but It was so nice to be able to sleep for 5 hours and for him to take care of her! I love him and he is such a great help to me and I don't know what I or Ashley ( who really loves her daddy) would do with out him. She has been sleeping really good that last two night and I think it is due to the change in my diet! I hope she keeps it up and continues to get good sleep so that way Tyler and I can also! Tyler has been home with her all day with out me and he has learned that she can be a lot of work but it is so much fun! All you want to do is talk and play with our little one all day. Again I am so thankful for my wonderful Husband.

What a weekend!

We Blessed our Little Ashley on Sunday Oct. 11th!! What a wonderful weekend! We got to see lots of family and we are so grateful for all the family traveling to see our little one! Most of Tyler's family got to come except Lisa and Alan who we really missed!! Steve and his family came from Springcity, UT which is by Manti.  Tyler's mother and Joe and Kyla, Tyler's dad and Cindy all came from Farmington. Most of my family also got to come! Derek and Amanda came down from Idaio, My mom and dad and Dalin, Tammi and Rusty and there wonderful kids, Grandma P. and Papa, Grandma W. all came from Farmington also! We had everyone over on Saturday night and all the kids got to go swimming and we had cake and Ice cream to celebrate Tyler and I birthdays!! Sunday was Ashley's special day! She was so good and My husband did amazing job with the blessing. I am so thankful for him and what he means to his family and for a husband that can bless our little girl!! After the Blessing we had everyone come back to our house for Breakfest (since church was so early and people needed to get on the road we decided to have Breakfest). Lots of family who live in the area also got to come over. Michelle and her family, Tonya and her family, Shirette and Leroy, all came from the other side of the valley.Brandon and Krystal, Shirland and his family and Tori and Raith and their family also got to come over also. Sunday was an all day Party. A lot of family had to get on the road and head home but for those who didn't we they all hung around and had diner later that night! I am so thankful for a wonderful family and for the love and support they give Tyler and I!

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!!!
