Chris and I got married August 1st 2009.  This site is about our family's life.
Things we love. Our experiences, hopes, and dreams.  We have a firm belief in god. In that every thing is through him.  He has blessed us with understanding, patience, and love for each other.  We are going to have a baby in January. We have my two children, Landon and Elizabeth, in which we have all grown and continue to grow as a family.  Chris and I have allot in common in that we both grew up in the eighties.  We like the same music, remembering what was on TV when we grew up, and basically how life was like when we were kids.  She makes me feel like a kid every time I look into her eyes.  Just one more month to a month and a half and we will have a new baby gir.  We can't wait.

Sciatic Nerve

Well, the week went pretty well exept that Josephine is givining mommy a hard time.  I hope this is not a sign to come.  Christine started having a pain in her leg so she called the doctor and got an appointment.  It turns out that it is sciatic nerve pain.  The doctor said that this is a normal occurance in pregnancy.  The way the baby, Josephine, is posisitoned is putting preasure on Chris' sciatic nerve.  This causes an imflamation of the sciatic nerve which is very painful.  There is not a whole lot that can be done for this when you are eight months pregnant.  We went on the the internet and researched Sciatica, I didn't realize that the sciatic nerve is the biggest nerve in our bodies.  Chis is taking Tylenol to alieve some of the pain and to help bring the infamation down.  She is also getting bed rest and elivating her legs.  I am helping around the house more so that she doesn't have to stand up and do the dishes or go into the celler to dry the clothes.  Thursday morning it was so bad for her I went to Wal Mart and picked up a heating pad for her at 5:00 in the morning.  This seems to help some.  I feel for her and wish I could take the pain from her.  She is such a trooper and I love her.  Well, in just a matter of weeks Josephine will be here and Chris should start feeling better fairly quickly.  We can't cait.  A little side note.   I submitted an article to EZine Articles and they accepted it.  I also have another one they are looking at and we shall see.  Our Christian website, My Bros Got My Back, is coming along.  It is a lot more work than we thought it would be, but it will be worth it when it is done.  Right now I building pages for Christian churches by state.  I usually am up around 5:00 and while everyone is sleeping this is when I work on the site.  Anyway, it is almost 6:00 Landon will be up soon and want to play Mario Cart and Elizabeth will want me to cook bacon.  It's going to be a great weekend.
