BRETTISMS

{Thanks for the title Teigan} I have the most amazing husband in the world. I made him promise me when we were dating that he would make me laugh everyday, and he has held up to that promise. Since we found out we were pregnant, he has said some of the funniest things. Mostly questions out of pure innocence. Below, you will find a short list of "Brettisms" that are specifically tied to the pregnancy: 1. When I was about 7 weeks pregnant, Brett turns to me and says, "So when can I take the baby out in a backpack and go skiing with them?" "Well, probably when they are able to hold their head up on their own." "So, is that in a couple months?" 2. My Personal Favorite B: They have Breast Pumps? M: Yes. I'll have to use that when I go back to work. B: How is the baby going to get the milk if you're pumping at work? M: I'll store the milk in either the fridge or freezer and you'll heat it up in a bottle to feed him. B: Serious? What if I go downstairs in the middle of the night to get a drink of milk and accidentally drink your breast milk? Needless, to say he is the oldest child and I am the youngest with 11 nieces & nephews. I love him so much and I'm glad he keeps me laughing. He is so excited to be a dad. Almost every morning he will rub my belly before I leave for work; I love that he's so excited. I know he will 'catch-on' quickly and will be an amazing father.

Home Sweet Home

About one month ago we closed on a town-home in Farmington. What a trial it was to get there, but man is it worth it! We have a room for the baby, Brett has an office to work in, and I have an awesome kitchen. It's size is perfect for us right now and still leaves us room to grow. For an updated address, just post a comment and I'll e-mail you our new information.

Could I Use Anymore Pillows?

So, I'm too cheap to purchase one of those fancy maternity pillows and decided to use what we have. By "some" I mean 6. At around month 5.5, I noticed my back was needing support, so I added a pillow between my legs. At around 6 months, I felt like my shoulders were taking a beating with all this 'side' sleeping going on. So my physical therapist suggested a pillow behind me so I can lean back to take the stress off my shoulder joint. 6.5 months I was bear hugging a pillow to support my entire back. Month 7, I was all about convenience, so when I flip from side to side in my 'U' shaped fortress, I don't have to take a pillow with me; all I need is on both sides. Brett has taken the biggest beating with all this. I don't know how he sleeps on 6 inches of our queen bed, but he does it. Not to mention our 60 lb dog Lily somehow finds a place on the bed sometimes. I'm glad we aren't all too claustrophobic.

Who is Bigger?

So my sister and I are both pregnant together (I'm 7 months and she is 8 months). She is due about a month before I am and we are both having boys. I know they are going to be little buddies together as they grow up! She's not too keen on photos of when she is prego, but I had to get at least one while she was here. I think she looks great for having her 4th child! I even think that I'm bigger than she is . . . what do you think? Who is bigger?

Summer Fun

We have had some fun time with the nieces and nephews while my sister was in town. We took a few of them on a hike up the much cooler Farmington Canyon. Needless to say, they were a little dirty after Brett and I got done with them! They especially loved to watch Lily fetch for sticks into the beaver ponds. One of my nieces isn't one who likes to get dirty and she asked me in all seriousness, "why couldn't we go on a clean hike?" I just chuckled as we trudged up the muddy slope.

Wedding Fun

So my cousin got married a little while ago. I snapped some great pictures of my brothers dancing with my Grandma Kjar at the reception. I thought it was so sweet. The happy couple. Taylor with Grandma Kjar Mason with Grandma Kjar

Biking Adventures

Being pregnant has restricted me from being involved in our usual biking adventures. But what I have been able to do has been fun. Brett has taken on Dirt Jumping and loves to fly off jumps; that is where I drew the line. Maybe next year? Take notice that Dan (our cousin) looks almost like he is taking a dump into his helmet.
