Looking Back

I found out on Halloween of 2000 that I was pregnant. It was a very big unexpected surprise. On January 8, 2001 I went to my first OB appointment. James went with me and we got to hear the heartbeat. Christy was always a very active baby. I only worried when she would stop moving! I was super excited when I had my ultrasound and they told me that I was having a girl. I honestly think I would have cried if it turned out I was having a boy. I had two baby showers. One was a family one at Aunt Maries house, and the other was a work one after Christy was born. Christy was born three weeks early. She was born at the American Fork Hospital in American Fork, Utah. Christy was born on June 18th 2001 at 6:31pm. She was 7lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long. We stayed in the hospital for three of four days because Christy had Jaundice and her bilirubin levels were too high. When we finally got to go home Christy had to stay in a ultra violet bed except for to eat, change her diapers and trips to the hospital for blood tests. Christy was always such a good baby. She slept through the night almost from the beginning. She wasn't a fussy baby either. I love the above picture of Christy. I think of all the pictures of Christy that this is my favorite! This was taken around the time that she was two months old. She is wearing her blessing dress that Grandma Beasley made for her. I love my little Christy!
