10 Weeks and Counting Down!

Well as of today I am at 30 weeks pregnant!!!!! Only 10 weeks left to go. Right now things are going well other than I think I have lost my mind. I am not sure I had much more of a functional brain before the pregnancy but things just feel foggy these days. Maybe its the lack of sleep. 10 weeks doesnt feel that far away to me right now. Justin goes back to school Monday and 10 weeks puts him exactly at spring break. It will be nice to have him home for that first week- as long as the baby decides to come on time.

So weird happening yesterday Brett went to school and was really tired in the morning. I kinda thought he just needed sleep. Justin went to pick him up early to take him to the movies and they said they were getting ready to call us. Brett was completely freezing cold, white hands, and glossy eyes. they said he perked up a bit when they feed him. Checked his temp 2x and he was at 95 degrees with an ear themometer. He had not been outside other than being in a cold car going to school. After a little research and a few calls to Dr.s it sounds like it could possibly be Hypoglycimia but really the only recommendation was next time it happens bring him in for blood work. By the afternoon he was warm, with red checks and a good atitude. He was a little onery and tired when we went to visit Matt and Whitney for Christmas but totally himself again. Justin is with him this morning and said he is acting fine just a little tired. He was up awfully early this morning because he had a bad dream about a bird bitting him.

Last night we got to see Matt and Whitney for Christmas. After we got home Brett played with his new Remote Control Motorcycle. I will have to get video of him playing with it. He LOVES it! Thanks Matt and Whitney!

Baby's Room

Our soon to be baby now has a room. That is such a relief to me. Justin goes back to school next week and teaches up until Spring Break which is when the baby should be coming. So this was the perfect week to do it. We decided to do lab puppies because we had some pictures already. I have also ordered some lettering for over the crib- Snips, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...... Brett is really funny about the whole thing. Sometimes he wants to help out and is so excited and then the other day he was sad saying- But when the baby comes no one will play with me anymore. The funniest thing is when he told me the other day to "Shut my mouth". I couldnt believe he would say that to me and I got on his case. He explained he wasnt being mean he was just telling me to shut my mouth so the baby couldnt hear him tell me a secret about what he is going to do for the baby. So even though it sounded really bad it wasnt what I thought he was saying. He told me he is going to buy the baby a rattle and make it giggle by saying underwear.

Merry Christmas Again!

Today we got to have Christmas with Justin's parents. Silly old me had a camera in her hands at one point but never snapped a shot! Darn! We got to enjoy a great lunch at Iggy's with them. Brett had his favorite spinach dip and spaghetti.

Anyway Brett once again was so excited. He got another new Wii game- Toy Story Mania! He had a blast playing that and then a game a Scooby with his nana. He also got a book from their trip to Hawaii that he could color with all different types of fish. He has stated once its all colored he would like to take it to school for Show and Tell. He also got a toy rifle and a Toy Story magnet board he got to play in the car (Deb and Steve could not have had better timing with this one as we took and impromptu trip to Alpine to sell our flat bed trailer today)

Justin got his Deer antlers from this years Deer Hunt mounted and ready to hang from his parents and I am so excited to get to schedule my massage and hair cut!

All in All it was a wonderful Christmas. Brett told me last night how sad he was that it was all over, and today it was totally Christmas again!

Oh forgot to mention that the baby got some diapers, soaps and some material for some cute receiving blankets to be made especially for him by his nana.

I just have to stay how wonderful it is to be a part of two such great families. As far as the holidays go I just can not even imagine not having such a wonderful family to share it with.

Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas so memorable! (and I dont just mean the presents)

Merry Christmas

On Christmas Eve Brett was so excited. I let him open his new PJ's to wear to bed. He was so sweet and Thankful for his Scooby Doo PJs.



Christmas morning Justin and I were laying in bed at 7:30 wondering why he hadnt woke up yet. We thought he would be up very early. Finally at 8 we couldnt take it anymore so Justin turned lights on. The second Brett woke up he was ready to open presents. I had put my camera by the bed to take pictures and couldnt find it. The night before Brett had been in his room wrapping something for me that he thought I would love. I helped him with tape but wasnt allowed in. This morning I found out he wrapped up my camera and put it under the tree. What a sweet kid. He just knew I would love it!

Brett was so excited about everything. He loved everything from the chocolates, to puzzles, to toys. His biggest gift was just a Series 2 Gromiti Mountain of Fire thing. It was way expensive on Amazon and at walmart when I finally found it at Target for 27.99. I bought it right away. I must say that if I had spent the 65.00 everyone else was asking for it I would have been mad. Brett loved it though.



Brett also had so much fun picking out a present for his daddy. Brett had said he knew the perfect gift for daddy was a new radio. I ended up getting some speakers for his shuffle. Brett knows daddy loves his music and was so proud at what he picked. What a sweetie.



Santa Claus was a little presumptuous and purchased a present for daddy and brett an extra PS3 paddle so both boys could play. Santa also got daddy a 2010 Madden NCAA football game with Bryan Johnson on the cover. Right now Brett and Justin are playing it and I can hear Brett just giggling about tackling players. Its not a great game for him to play because its hard but he sure loves the time with his daddy. They have high fived about 100 times already.



Brett also got a Scooby Doo Wii game. He and daddy have already cracked one case. I am not sure what mommy should do with herself today. The boys are occupied. hmmm maybe a nap for me.



Here is brett with all his loot.


We all had such a great Christmas. Brett has been beaming ear to ear since he woke up. I also had a great christmas and cant wait for my couches in a few weeks. I also got a great wall hanging and a coat.

The other successful news of the weekend was that the babies room is now put together!!!! We still have some pictures to hang and a few odds and ends to get but whenever the baby comes they have a place to sleep!

More Christmas Pictures

I just think this is the cutest picture of Yia Yia, Papou and Brett!


Brett on his new big bike from Yia Yia and Papou.... He is still little wobbly on it but in a few more tries I am sure he will be fine on it.

Fun Weekend

Our weekend sort of went a little crazier than anticipated. But even with the craziness it was a very nice family weekend.

To start if off my parents came up to visit. Since we are converting our extra bedroom into a nursery we didnt have an extra bed anymore. They had a sofa sleeper in their basement and brought it up for us so we still have an extra bed if needed. We also went out to a yummy yummy Texas Roadhouse dinner and exchanged presents. One of the presents I got was an electric can opener. Justin and I have been married 12 years and he thinks electric can openers are for the birds and that hand openers are fine. The only way I would ever get one is for a present from someone other than justin. So my parents gave me one!!!! Anyway when I went grocery shopping sunday I bought lots of cans that needed opening!!!! I also got a Snuggie type blanket with Arms. It is the softest thing in the world! Brett keeps stealing it from me. So here is Brett and I on the new sofa pull out watching G force- notice I am in his spider man blanket and he is in my snuggie! My mom and dad spoiled us again! Thank you for everything!



The other thing that happened this weekend was that with the new couch coming we decided to sell our old couches on KSL. Justin had an idea to put both sets out there and see what happened. On Saturday morning we had 3 people come and look and sold both sets. So now we have a sofa sleeper upstairs but nothing in our front room. Earlier in the week Justin sold a gun on KSL as well. So put the 3 sales together and boom I GET NEW COUCHES!!!!!! I can never doubt jusitn's love for me knowing he sold a gun so I could have new couches! He has always hated our couches downstairs because he actually ordered a different couch and while he was away elk hunting I decided I hated them and got different ones instead but for over 10 years we have enjoyed them. They guy who bought the couches was a very chatty fellow who spent 3 hours just sitting on the couch seeing if he liked it and talking to Justin about football. He was an engineer as well who shared Justins exact feelings on almost all football things. It was a very long sell. After he finally left we ran to a store and found a set via picture that we really liked and were on a good sale- but only until 6 pm (it was 430). We wanted to go look at others so we drove down to Ashley Furniture in a hurry to decide what to do. On the way there traffic was awful. We figured road construction but finally found out it was an overturned semi truck with onions spilling all over. Let me just say as a pregnant person the smell was over whelming. We got to Ashley and had only like 20 minutes to look and finally left and made a call to buy the set from the other place for a great price. I really hope its comfy. Bad news is that we wont have a couch until the week of January 11th. So Christmas morning we will all be on the floor!!! Brett and the dog are enjoying the extra running room. Its going to be weird we got really dark brown leather couches so its going to be a huge difference.


Sunday Brett and I put icing on Christmas Cookies, put together puzzles, went for 2 bear hunts, and just had a blast.



This just made me laugh a little. Today I made home made manicotti. It is the only thing that I can make from scratch that is just wonderful. Justin and I love it. Its not too hard to make but takes a ton of time. So after all is said and done- Brett still prefers Ravioli out of a can.... Silly Kid!

Merry Christmas Santa

I was able to track down the pictures of Brett on Santa's lap from a few Saturdays ago. I had forgotten my camera but there was a lady taking photos. I made a few calls and finally found them hanging in the cafeteria at Davis Hospital. The good news is now that I have photos I can stop searching for another Santa Claus to get pictures with.
