Big announcement!


Wow! I am so excited to finally share this big news with all of our Channel 7 viewers! My husband, Dave, and I are happy to announce that we are expecting our first child at the end of October. I’m about three and half months along and looking forward to every step of the way. I’ll be sharing with you all our progress as we take on this new and exciting venture. And of course, as first time parents, we’ll be looking for and taking any advice from those who have been there. I’ll also try to post some photos as we get closer to the due date.

Thanks for all of your well-wishes and support!!!

Christina, Wow, I have been in and out of the hospital in Pine Bluff with my husband as he has had a major heart attack and had a 7 bypass surgury on Wed. He went in on Mothers day May 11 and on wed. he had the surgery. it was a very scarry moment but now he is progressing well and will be home by next weekend around the 23rd of May. Congratulations on the baby to be....I have 3 sons and my husband has 2 sons and one daughter. So I am sure, you will do fine and I will continue to watch your blog on the website and can't wait to see you on the air.

good luck on this new adventure i watch you all on tv every night. keep up the good work hope to keep up with you and your progress on your pregnancy

Congratulations to you both! As a new mom (4 weeks and 4 days ago to be exact!) enjoy every moment even when you think you want to pull your hair out! It is a true blessing to be a parent and I never knew the love that was to come my way once he was born. It's indescribable. My only advice to you and your husband is that no matter what decisions you make on how to feed, bathe, cuddle, sleep, etc, etc...just know that it is your decision and there is no right or wrong way to love and take care of your little one. It's all so overwhelming in the beginning and so rewarding at the same time. That is the best advice I've gotten so far. I hope all goes well and you have a safe, healthy pregnancy along with a healthy baby boy or girl!

How are things going? Hope you and the baby are ok. I know that your husband might be scared as to how to take care of the baby when he or she comes. Just let him know that it is normal for first time daddy's to be afraid.

Hi!

Christina it is so great to read about you and your husbands' upcoming parent hood. Its exciting that tiny little person who is growing inside you, in just a short time will be a part of a wonderful loving family. I wish you the very best. Me and my husband have one daughter. She was a Christmas Eve baby. Just want to let you know that you always do a good job as one of KATVs' news anchors.

Congradulations! I was very excited to hear your news. I am the mother of 2 wonderful little boys. One goes to school with and played soccer against Scott's child. The best advice I can give you is ENJOY the first one. When you feel tired, rest. Because, if you chose to have more children, the next time you are pregnant you will have another child to take care of. That is probably the best advice I got because it is something I had not thought of. It is so much fun and it is so worth it. I wish you all the best!

Congratulations!! I hope the best for you and Dave!! Be prepared to have your sleep schedule rescheduled by the baby. I hope you guys have a boy....my mom had 2 girls and she said that we were very difficult and honery. I have 2 boys and it is so much easier to deal with certain issues with them. Well, that's all I have for you at this time. Take care and cut back on the caffeine if you haven't already.
