BMR

Wow, how time flies! So I thought I would post something to try to catch up on the last little while. (I don't keep very good records for a History major) I'm sitting here reflecting on the past nine months, which in retrospect have flown by (for me anyway, Nicole may feel differently) and I am sooo excited for my little boy to get here. My sister and bro. in law just had a baby boy (#2) a few months ago and this last week we found out my brother and sis. in law are having a boy about six months after us. We are so happy and excited for them. I'm also very excited that Brigham will have so many cousins about his age to play with, and I hope they all have tons of fun getting into mischeif together! I look forward to all of the family get togethers, as I love my family more than I can or do express. Nicole throughout the pregnancy (which has been such a smooth one, luckily) has been such a trooper, I love her and appreciate all she has gone through so that we can bring this little guy into our family! Won't be long now as she is 38 weeks or so. I can't believe how close it is, and can't wait to meet my son! Here are some pics from the pregnancy.

 

french toast, seatbelts & cameras

so this last saturday was overcast and rainy. what a perfect day to be... lazy, make your own schedule, do whatever it is you want to do even if it's nothing at all. so we started off the day with some french toast from kneaders.

oh my. the amazing cinnamon swirls wrapping around fresh strawberries, whipped cream and buttermilk syrup somehow put me in a minor coma. i might sneak out next saturday just to sit by myself and force down as many as possible! i've never had such amazing french toast in my life! - i'm drooling

then brandon decided that he'd trust my mom with his hair, so we drove down to my parent's and my mom cut his hair. to be honest, it looks pretty good. too bad we're such good friends with our hair stylist or we could save some serious cash.

after wasting some time at the parent's we decided to go shopping for our anniversary present. as we get in the car and i put on my seatbelt it feels like someone is pushing against it, wanting to get it off. figures. briggs is his father's child. not even born and he's just like his father, who also hates wearing seatbelts. so all through out the day whenever the seatbelt goes on, briggs starts pushing it away. haha, i love him already!

so this year for our anniversary we are moving. joy. it just kind of happened that way. june 3rd sunday and our two year anniversary and then june 4th and we are moving. so instead of going on vacation we got ourselves a camera. a cannon t3 rebel. ohhh it's so pretty! pictures are coming as soon as we have something to take pictures of besides the mountains of boxes that are currently littering our apartment.

Baby Bump

It's a BOY!

Briggs at 16 weeks

Baby bump at 20 weeks

Baby bump at 18 weeks

Briggs at 7 weeks

I realize that these aren't in order but considering that it's been over a year since I've posted anything I figure it's better than nothing.

This morning I woke up to Briggs jumping on the bed, through my belly. I figured that I would be the smart one and just turn to my other side... two minutes later he's jumping on the bed through the other side of my belly. Ugh, too bad I can't take naps like he can during the day.
