Hello, My name is Christine. Here is a little bit about me. I am a mom to four almost five wonderful children. They are 13-10 -7- and 3. I had my first child when I was sixteen, and they just kept coming after that. I am married to my high school sweet heart. We have been married for 10 years. He is the love of my life. I have two daughters and two sons. We don't know what baby number five is. This is new to us because we found out the sex of the baby with all the other ones. We do want to have more kids. I absolutly love being pregnant. My kids keep me very busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Okay here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. The one on the left is me on Thanksgiving and the one on the right is me on 10/28. The bruising in the photo on top is from the heprin injections I have to give myself twice a day. It really looks worse than it is. It doesn't hurt, but I have to say that it isn't very pleasing to the eye.(lol)

JANUARY 28TH

Everything is going well so far. Baby is doing great and I feel very well. I can say that I have been sleeping VERY well. My shots are going good and I have decided to start doing them in my side as my stomach was getting too sore. It works out well only now I have the bruising on my hips!! Oh well. Go to the doctors tomorrow to see what is up, hope baby can wait until Feb. I already have two birthdays in January! Take care all!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!

Well, Sunday night at around 10:00 Pm. I started to have some mild cramps. I was trying to time them, but they were all over the place some were 5 min. some were 2 some were only one. So hubby and I decided to call my midwife and let him know (as we live 40 minutes from the hospital, and it was VERY cold out..... only 3 degrees. We called him and he said to try to get them to slow down, or at least regulate, try a warm shower or bath and then if they subside, try to get some sleep. So we agreed and I got into the shower only to notice they were getting stronger, but still not regular. So we called him back five minutes later and told him they were stronger, and we would like to come in. He agreed, and we left for the hosptial. On the way there, my husband drove 85 miles the whole way, with the four ways on. Thank god there was no traffic and the roads were clear. I was not in terrible pain, I was able to concentrate, and I liked the way the four ways sounded, it was soothing.(hubby knows not to talk to me when I am in labor, and this time he acutally listened.) When we got to the hosptial, my midwife met us at the door. The stupid admit lady tried to tell me I needed to answer all her questions first... but my midwife just said we were going up and hubby could do it. When we got to the room, which I walked the whole way... I don`t like sitting while laboring... I was leaning on the bed, I looked at my midwife and told him I think I need to push. He said okay lets get you into the bed. Mind you I was fully dressed. So my poor midwife asked me if he could take my pants off. I laughed and said yes... because I wasn`t doing it. So the poor man had to undress me. once I was in bed he asked if he could check me and i said yes. He did and then I asked him how far along I was... still not feeling alot of pain... he said you are 10 and complete... go ahead and push when you are ready. I was shocked!!! I still didn`t feel like I was in full blown labor. So my husband came flying around the corner, and couldn`t belive it was time yet either!!! I pushed with the next two contrations and Our Little boy came flying into the world. No epidural, no tears, no stiches. It was the most amazing birth EVER!!! Never even broke a sweat. I was absoultly amazed at how much contol I had, and how little pain I felt!! We didn`t know what we were having and I got to announce it. We couldn`t belive it was a boy... we thought we were having a girl. but be couldn`t be happier!!! The whole experice was caught on tape by my wonderful husband. and I would do it 20 more times if all the labors went like this one.

February 18 2008

Trenton went to his first doctors appointment today. He weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces!! I am sooooo proud of him. I was a little worried about his eating habits, as he will nurse for 5-10 minutes, and be done. I was nervous he wasn't getting enough, but I was wrong!! He is absolutly brilliant!! Perfect as can be, and I can't stop smelling him. I love the way newborns smell. He is simply brilliant!!!

April 6th

I took Trenton to the doctors on Monday and he weighed in at 11 pounds 13 ounces. He got his first set of shots also.... cried soooo hard he couldn't breath. But, he is doing very well, and is very healthy. He is only waking twice a night once at eleven, and then again at five. He is sweet as pie!!! Couldn't ask for more.

May 28th

Trenton went to the doctors today and weighed in at 14 pounds 14 ounces!! He is perfect... everything checked out well. I am sooo proud of him. He was so good for the Doctor and was all smiles! He is still nursing very well, and will not start food until after six months. He is sleeping well for me. Still napping very well and sometimes only wakes once a night. He is such a happy boy. We just adore him.
