My little Superboy


After reading Amy's blog about her cute Allie. I wanted to post my cute little bundle of joy too. Christopher Kal-El he is now 4 1/2 mos old and still smaller than Allie but that's ok he is still cute as can be. He was a surprise to us when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't want Danny to know right away so I got the pregnancy test and did it without him knowing and then I went in and told him. We wanted to be sure so I had it done again the next day at a clinic. And here he is. The one thing that I am grateful for is the presence of good doctors. Amy is so right Dr. Peterson is the best. He has been there for me through 2 children. Christopher was an easier c-section than Kara my oldest was. But I knew that no matter what happened I would be ok and Dr. Peterson was there. Being totally numb from the chest down is a very weird feeling.
Holding Christopher for the first time was amazing. Seeing him right after he was delivered and actually being awake is the greatest feeling.
He is becoming the cutest person. He knows that no matter what is wrong I will know what he is trying to tell me. I will ask him a question and he will always tell me the answer. He is definitely Mommy's little boy. I am thankful for his little spirit he helps me see how close we need to be to our Heavenly father.
I am so grateful that he brings cheer and joy to everyone he meets. His Grandma's and Grandpa's love him. His Aunt's and Uncle's fight over who will hold him next. His cousins love to hold him too. Kara just can't get enough of him she will play with him and involve him in whatever she is doing. On Nov. 30, 2006 he rolled over for the first time. They grow way to fast.
I am so grateful for the privledge to be a mother of such wonderful children. To have them to raise and become children of God. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to my mother for showing me your experience and guidance. And to all the many mothers that I know for showing me your example.

Time

Time? What do you think of when you see the word Time? I don't have enough time? Where did all the time go? I think most of us say the first all to often. Tonight I was thinking about my life in the big picture. I feel like all I ever do is Work, eat, and sleep. And maybe get some play time in with the kids. I feel I never see my husband unless he is working, sleeping or being frustrated with anything. All I want is to spend time with him. I am not asking for a lot.
I think that we get stuck in the rut of life and we don't want to change or do anything that my be difficult. Times like this I start to think about why we are here? To be tested. Am I doing all that I can to return to heavenly Father? All of us at one point or another will say NO. This time here on earth is for growing and learning from what we have and how we can make it. With Christmas so close and always remembering Jesus Christ and his birth. But also remembering what he came here to do. Give us a way home. I know I can be better and that I can do what I need to. I just have to try harder. I am the farthest away from perfect and I want to be better. I pray for guidance and help so I can be that better mother, wife and sister.
