Christoffersen Crew: Lainey Kay

Our sweet angel has been with us for a week... Wow... A week has passed already!? Sept 20th at 2:03pm Lainey was born and weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and is 20 in long. I am planning on writing my birth story in detail on this blog but I am not ready to re-live the scary parts yet... I've sat down a few times this week to write it all down and it is too hard right now.... Its still so fresh and I get so emotional. But I will soon...

I will say this, Birthing naturally was such an amazing experience. It is unreal, surreal, amazing, painful, spiritual and scary all at the same time. The few hours after the birth were very scary for us and I am so blessed to be here with my sweet little family. I have never loved my husband more than I love him today. My love for him grew 100 fold over night. He never left my side and was there to use his priesthood power when I needed a blessing. He is my rock. We have been so very blessed through this experience and the spirit that Lainey has brought into our home is remarkable. I am so thankful for Grace and her love for he r baby sister. My midwifes are beyond amazing and I am SO grateful for them and all they have done for our family...

About Paige

I was born and raised in a little town called Harrisville! I loved growing up there. I grew up in a family of seven and there was never a dull moment! Starting at a very young age we all loved camping, fishing, riding grandpa's horses, sliding down the stairs on boxes and just playing in the dirt. I must admit I still love all of those things. There is just something about playing in the dirt! :)

I used to work full time at LDS Hospital in the Hyperbaric Department. I was there for almost 5 years and really loved my job. They always allowed me to learn new things and get more experience. I graduated with my associates degree from a very prestigious community college, SLCC :) in Science in 07. Around the time I applied to nursing school, Bart and I started feeling like it was time to add to our family. So when I got pregnant I knew nursing school would have to be put on hold.

I love to snuggle, play with our acrobatic daughter, enjoy ice cream on the couch while watching the Office with my crazy cool husband, hanging out with family. I love reading and learning, oil painting, running (when I'm NOT pregnant), and planting flowers... aka.. playing in the dirt!

I want to finish nursing school in the future, have more babies, and go on a mission with Barty when we are old. I'd love to learn Spanish and sign language.

About Bart

Bart was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Currently Bart works full time at Melaleuca here in Idaho Falls in their Purchasing department.

He is very good at anything that gives him a challenge which is why, I think, he likes golf ;) Golfing is NOT as easy as it looks! His Dad liked to take him golfing each chance they got. And I am sure Bart will take our kids when they are old enough, too! He grew up traveling the world with his family and it seems to be a passion that will forever be a part of him.

He served an LDS mission in southern France and I hope he takes me there someday!

Bart has lots of admirable goals. He wants to travel the world with his family, go to graduate school, own a home with a nice yard so that the kids can play and so he can get the dog he's always wanted, he also wants to serve a mission with his wifey when we are older. He loves learning and will be an "eternal student". He loves the news, books, going to the library and learning Spanish on CD with me. He enjoys running and biking and being outdoors. An interesting fact : his greatest weakness is MOUNTAIN DEW!! I am surprised his blood isn't green.

Bart is an amazing Daddy. He is very patient, loving, understanding and hardworking. And handsome... very handsome
