Cache's Baby Blessing

Last Sunday was Cache's Baby Blessing. I still can't believe that I have a child, and that he is 3 months old.

These are my favorite pictures of him in his cute little white outfit.

Our cute little family picture!!!

Thanks to all who made it to the GREAT event!

BIG Jazz Game Tonight!!!

Cache is dressed and ready to go to the BIG Jazz Game Tonight! My mom gave Cache his cute jazz outfit, and he has worn it to every game he has gone to. Tonight's game will be his 4th game, and he is only 2 months old. Man he is spoiled!!! Tonight is the last game of the season and I am sad it is over because I have really enjoyed the FREE season tickets. I asked Marc if because of this season he wants to buy them next year and he said no, I want to win them again. More power to him I would love if he won them or some how got tickets for FREE. We are excited to go and are hoping for a great victory! Go Jazz!!!

Sunday

We took Cache to church for the first time on Sunday. I really want him to always wear white shirts to church so we went and bought him a nice white shirt and dress pants.

While we were taking picture of him he started smiling and almost laughing. This is the best picture we got of him smiling because either his shirt was in his way or our camera was to slow to get the smile in action.

I like this close up shot.

Marc asked me after my last post if the blog has turned into Cache's blog and he wondered if I was going to put any pictures of us on the blog. I told him that I haven't been happy with how I have looked in any pictures since having him so I am fine not being on it. But I thought I better change that so he doesn't feel left out and I guess this picture isn't too bad of me.

Marc and Cache

After a long day at church Cache thought he would lay down and watch some March Madness with his dad.

Last week Cache and I went to my sister Emily's for the day. This is Adam, who is 2, playing with Cache. It was so cute to watch.

Adam touching Cache's toes. He did a good job making sure the burp cloth stayed on Cache's legs because he thought it was a blanket.

Pictures of Cache

I have decided that babies are the easiest thing to take pictures of. We have taken so many pictures of Cache and I just love it. I should have someone teach me how to put a slide show on my blog, but since I don't know how you get to scroll down and look at some (only some) of my favorite pictures of Cache.

Cache right after being born crying. This is the only picture I have of his cute face crying.

Cache has a special glow about him!

His billy ruben light makes him look like the caterpillar light up doll.

He is staring into heaven thinking I am not sure about this earth place.

The first time in the carrier he looks so small.

I just really like this picture.

Holding his pacifier in.

Cousin Joss and Cache, I think this is my top favorite picture of Cache. He looks so sweet and innocent. I have a feeling when he gets older he might not be as innocent as he looks here.

Playing with cousin Joss.

I love this picture of Cache hanging out on great grandma Lyman's lap.

Baby Cache's Birthday! (What a day!)

A week ago today was my baby boy's birthday. I am going to tell the story of how my precious boy was born. I started having contractions at 9:00 pm on Tuesday Feb. 9th and we went to the Tremonton Hospital at 1:15 am on Wednesday Feb. 10th.

This is me still smiling, at this point I have no clue what the day was going to be like.

At 6:00 am they put me on Pitosen to help me dilate faster. They broke my water at Noon and I got an epidural shortly after. At 6:00 pm they took me off the Pitosen because it was putting a lot of stress on the baby. They put me back on it at 7:00 pm and I has having really bad back contractions and only dilated to a 7. They checked me every hour for the next 3 hours and at 9:50 pm I was only dilated to an 8. The doctor asked how I felt about a C-section and I told him I didn't want one. He said he needed to talk it over with the nurses and that Marc and I needed to talk about it and we would decide for sure by 10:00 pm. I broke down crying and within a few minutes the baby's heart rate dropped and they couldn't get it back up. The doctor looked at me and said "Allison I think we got our answer, we need to get this baby out right now." At this point I was completely exhausted and I knew the baby had to be as well, so we decided it was the right thing for us to go through with the C-section. Everyone immediately went into emergency mode and started getting ready for the surgery.

This is Dr. Marc all dressed and ready for the surgery.

Me on oxygen completely exhausted and extremely emotional but ready to hear my baby cry.

Me during surgery in a lot of pain but I endured it for my baby.

10:44 pm Cache Lyman Christensen was born!

He weighted 7 lbs and 9 oz and was 20 inches long.

I called my mom as soon as I found out we were going to have an emergency C-section and asked her to be there when we got out. She came up and held him until I woke up from being knocked out. I wanted to be alert until I heard my baby cry. Cache was so bright eyed waiting for me to wake up.

The first time I got to see and hold my baby!

Cache falling asleep in my arms after the first time he ate.

We had a long hard day but Heavenly Father blessed us with good health and the ability and strength for all of us to get through the rough day. We are so grateful for all of our many blessings and for the great family we now are.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Well we are in the hospital right now and luckily the hospital has WiFi (yes we have wireless internet in Tremonton believe it or not). Everything is going okay, slowly but surely this baby will get here. Allison has been having steady contractions since 9:30 p.m. on the 9th, last we checked it was 9:30 a.m. on the 10th and she was only dilated at a 1. I always said I want a laid back baby, but this kid needs to get a move on it. We will update with pictures soon (hopefully).
