Introducing....

Fast as fast can be you will never catch me...


That describes Alma Guy Christiansen so far. I was on the hospital bed 10 mins before he made his apperance as he was not going to wait for the doctor. The ER doctor that was down stairs didn't even make it there. We did warn them when we called that it would be fast if we made it at all. :)
Alma Guy was 19.5 inches, 6lbs 15 ozs. He was born at 2:51 am on June 21st, 2008

Update on baby to be

Just thought I would post about the doctor appt today. Like I said in an earlier post, we are still pregnant and I haven't had the baby yet. :)
In OB talk I am 3 cent dialated and 50% effaced(sp?). She said my water was right there and she wouldn't be surprised if that is how we know to rush in(specifing that we need to HURRY with my previous labors). She could feel babies head and said it is down, but not fully engaged yet. :)
They did offer to enduce at 39 weeks, but I kindly refused. I hated patosin when they enduced with Taylor, so we are just going to play it by ear.
I feel fat, uncomfortable, can hardly walk through contractions I have right now, but yeah---it's all part of the game, right?

WAITING WAITING WAITING-----Patiently of course ;)

Life happens....

Not that visible, but the little red dot in between her eyes is from a little boy who lost his temper and had a fork in his hand, WOW! Can you say scary? Carter did feel really bad and has since decided that he made a really bad choice--ya think! :)
Mason finally lost that annoying front tooth that was hanging on for dear life. It looks like two teeth are missing, but it really is just one. Now the other front tooth is a little wobbly.
Just Mason and Taylor wrestling. Most of the time they get along great. Mason does get a little rough sometimes, yes even for Taylor! her hair is the subject of much irritation right now. Mason has decided he gets quite the reaction from her and tests that out on a daily basis. She is getting pretty good at not freaking out and just saying, "STOP!"
Last but certainly not least this is Mikes ankle as of last night. He had softball practice on Monday night and stepped into a hole while going for a throw in the outfield. Needless to say softball is out for the next while. It wasn't broken, and they said it was a really bad sprang. So hopefully once the swelling goes down he will feel alot better. Really this picture doesn't do it justice. Thanks to being in Utah when Gpa Mason had surgery on his ankle the kids are all excited about helping Dad's ankle get better. Taylor is obsessed with making sure the foot is up with ice on it. :)

As with moving--as of latest we will be moving into the house on Monday.

Happy Birthday Mike!

Mike has turned another year older and another year wiser. I think that is how it is suppose to work. :) A birthday in a hotel is always fun! Really it was a distaster outside with weather, so we were in the room all day. The kids got a bit annoyed at certain parts of the day. It was a day spent with each other and that is all that matters. Mike was stuck with us ALL day--hehehe!! :)
This is a picture of a Bears blanket that is on the way to Mike in the mail. Mason was eager about the new movie, National Treasure. Nothing to spectacular this year.
The cake is really starting to shine over the years!! He still has enough hot hair to get them out in one go. We love you Mike and are so glad we are able to spend every year with you!!

23 Days to go.....

Mike and I were discussing last night how it seems so weird to us we are going to be having a baby in about 23 days. This pregnancy has been filled with so much more to do and accomplish that it has seemed very unreal to us. It wasn't until last night that I realized, "oh yeah, I will be going into labor and having a BABY soon!" What a nerve racking thought. Most know I am a no drugs person and I have always been on a mental preparedness mode for awhile now...kind of forgot about that this time. So my nerves are now starting to get to me as I am doing my every night steady contractions for an hour or two and then they go away. I did the same thing with Taylor and I fear that when my body decides it is time we might have a pretty interesting delivery story to share. I feel completely uncomfortable pretty much all the time--so i love when the doctors ask, "Any questions, complaints?" I just think to myself, "Yes complaints, but I got myself this way, so I guess I can keep most of them to myself." :)
Life is going well and we are adjusting. Mike starts training this week and that will be interesting to have him gone during the day. I guess I need my imagination to to kick into gear so that I can entertain children.
We will keep you updated on any news with the baby. I don't have an appt until the 12th..not that it will tell me much. Other than, yes you are still pregnant and no you haven't had the baby yet. :) --LOVE IT!!
