Richfield Fun

Here are some random pics of the fun we had in Richfield. We decided to head up to Utah to visit my parents since they were unable to come after my dad's accident. It was so nice to enjoy the wonderful weather and scenery and enjoy the comforts of my mother's hospitality.


We call this our little Lily burrito



Here is our nephew Braeden holding Lily on his stay at our house for a week



Lily loves to sit on our bed and look out the window when the blinds are open. She could do this and eat all day if we let her


We were also privileged to go and have Lily meet her Uncle Brian and his beautiful headstone in Panguitch. I know that she was hanging out with him the whole time she was in my belly. No wonder she was such a wiggle worm he was probably making her laugh hysterically the whole time.



Tiff loved holding Lily I had to pry her away to feed her.



Lily 's first real bath in Grandma's sink the day her umbilical cord fell off.



Beautiful scenery at big lake



I miss real pine trees. We already have our x-mas tree picked out

trying to juggle holding Lily and shucking corn

her cute little strawberry outfit

pulling over in the car to burp her

This is what Lily did 99% of the time in the car. What an angel!

And we are home.

Apology

For those of you have seen the "Baby Now on Board Post", I would like to make an apology. I had to remove one of the pictures posted due to what Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake would call a "Wardrobe Malfunction". As soon as Christie's wound heals a little more we will be laughing about this for a long time.

Note to self: Do not make posts late at night when your tired.

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 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!
