Baby Is Now On Board

Tuesday July 21st was finally the day that our precious Lily Sue came into the world. She was born at 1:29pm. She weighs 7lbs 2oz and 18 1/2 inches. She was originally due the 31st, but she was breach so we scheduled a C-Section. Everything went well and she is as healthy as can be. We are so excited to have the bundle of joy finally in our lives. A few of our family members were able to make it down from Utah and Arizona and some from here in Vegas. Cody, Megan and Emma made it too. They had to leave before they got a chance to hold her so we had no pics of them. Thank you all for your support. Here are some pics.


Christie getting ready to go inside of the hospital

Here she is. When she came out she kept sticking her tongue out. Isn't she adorable.


They had just cleaned her off and they put a little gupey stuff in her eyes. She didn't like it very much.

Whats that Dr. Fink. I just delivered this baby with my own hands. I was amazing. What really happened is, I started watching the surgery and they had here cut wide open. I was doing really well until the doc reached in for the baby and all of the fluids and blood started spilling over the sides of her belly. I went pale white and got light headed. Luckily I sat down before i passed out. It was very interesting though.

Another of her just after being wrapped up.

The proud parents of a beautiful baby girl.

My sis, Dani, with the Lily.

My sis Becky

Christie's parents, Cornell and Tamie.

My mother Louise and I with her first diaper change. I did so good, except for the fact that as soon is I took her diaper off she pee'd all over the bedding. and right after i put the diaper back on she pooped with in 30 seconds.


My sis Shelly.

Christie couldn't take her eyes off Lily. She had been so anxious to see her and now her time has come.

My nieces Sydney and Jocelyn

Lily is already showing off doing leg kicks and man is good at them.

Maternity Pics

So early on in my pregnancy I decided that I wanted to get some maternity pics. Lindz did them in Cedar City and they ended up being so amazing. Who knew you could look half way decent at nine months pregnant. Well thanks to Lindz they ended up being way more than what I expected! Thanks Lindz you are amazing!

Marathon Man

So i am now a Marathoner. On May 31st I ran in the San Diego Rock & Roll Marathon and believe it or not I made it, 26.2 miles. At mile 21 my legs started cramping really bad and i didn't think i would finish, but somehow i managed to do it. How did I get started? Well one day my mother called me and asked if I wanted to run a marathon. I said "Heck No" then i asked why she would ask me. Come to find out my brother, Brian, who passed away in October was signed up for it. So i felt obligated, in a sense, to run for him. There were 6 people that ran in it. Brian's father, brother and 2 sisters in law, and me and our sister Shelly. We had a huge get together of my family and Brian's In-laws make the trip down. We even had a few family friends travel the distance just to see us cross the finish line. It was nice to have the support.

Cam And lindz suffered the traffic and the thousands of people to come and support thanks guys.

Here are the t-shirts we wore in memory of Brian.

We also made it to Sea World. Here we are in front of those pink birds.

Christie got this great shot of a shark and it's teeth.

Here we are in the biggest ever sharks jaw.

Here is everybody at harbor village from the fink side of the family that came.

and the grand finale........... Christie's belly at 33 weeks only 49 more days wow!

New additions

We are now the proud owner's of a boat. I know that we are crazy to buy a boat right before our new baby. I say what the heck, we need to start our princess off early on wakeboarding hahaha! We are so excited about our new buy but I am totally sad that I can't even wakeboard till at least September.

We haven't had a chance to take it out, so I will post some new pics once it's out on the water.

Here is our other new buy. We traded out our old couches for this high grain genuine leather sectional. We were never really a fan of leather until we realized how much we hate clothe couches with dogs. I figured with a new baby coming, it was in our best interest to purchase something cleanable. I have to admit that they have been amazing. Just a little wipe and BAM it is all clean.

And another addition, My Belly. It has not really grown that much this month. It could be due to the fact that I have been jogging a mile and half every day to start early on the baby weight.

I can't believe that I only have 69 days left. I probably have less because the Dr. said he was going to strip my membranes at 37 weeks. Holy crap that is 7 weeks away! I can't wait to meet my princess. I am sooo inpatient and I want her here as soon as possible (but healthy early)

Our final purchase was our baby girl's dresser/ changing table. We are still in the process of looking for the perfect crib so I will post it when we find it.

Dr.'s visit and some easter

Yesterday was my 27 week checkup. I cannot fathom the fact that I am almost 7 months preggers. Yikes I have 90 days to go and I am not the slightest bit prepared for this little lady coming. I keep having nightmares that I go into labor early and I have nothing, not even a car seat to bring the poor thing home in. Needless to say I need to get cracka lackin on this baby furniture stuff. On a better note I have finally caught up to the weight I should be for this time. It could be because I ate like a Horse this month. I have been working 60 hour weeks and eating every minute while I am at work wow. you can really see a difference from last month.

Here we are early in the morning at the doctor. Not only is my belly getting huge look at that Booty! Wow I have never really had one and I kinda like. What do you think?

Shirt down makes it look even bigger haha!

Cheesy Clint wanted to take a picture next to the wall art (ps. it's a little fuzzy but that is the vagina) you dirty boy!

Here are some Easter pics. I know I am late but it will have to do for now. My whole side of the fam decided to beat the snow and head down to the nice warm weather. Here we are at the park not even paying any attention to Clint photographing us.

This pic is before I started scarfing my face with coconut pie, homemade ice cream, chips and salsa, french fries, and jamba juice to name a few of my favs haha. This month I am going to start some aqua aerobics classes at the gym and cut back on the sweets. Wish me luck cause I really am going to need it.

23 weeks and feeling just ok

Well here it is 23 week belly! Clint thought it was a good idea to snap this shot on his cell phone this morning right after I chugged that nasty glucose drink before I had to go to the doctor. As far as nausea goes, I have good days and bad days. I really only get sick at nightime which is a serious improvement from 24 hours a day and that just started getting better 8 days ago. I'll keep you updated if anything exciting happens.

Baby Bump

So here it is by popular demand the infamous baby bump at 17 weeks. I know that it does not look like much but none of my pants fit not even my biggest pants I have ever owned. I have gained a whoppin 1 pound. I guess my hips are just widening and I hate it. I am still sick throwing up every day and nauseated all day. The Dr. said "oh you should start feeling better any day now" and that my friends was at 14 weeks. I have surpassed that by almost a whole month without any relief. On a better note, I failed to post the sex of the baby. Drum roll please........................ Its a little princess yeah! We are excited but we are already fighting over names. I knew it would be trouble considering we couldn't even decide on the same ceiling fans for our new house hahaha

So here she is at 15 weeks old. We decided we couldn't wait so we participated in the 4D ultrasound. She was such a little movie star look at that zoolander pose haha.
