Tyler says... Curious George needs to know the commandments!

Tyler told me today that "Curious George is a bad monkey and he really needs to know the commandments" he also said that the man in the yellow hat knows the commandments so he should teach George to chose the right. Wow.

This comes from a little boy who in his prayers every night says "Please bless Jakey to know the commandments and please bless me to know the commandments." I guess I should be like the man in the yellow hat and teach him eh? I'll do my best.

Update

I guess people keep checking my blog to see if I have had the baby yet. Nope, no baby. A lot of contractions and a lot of anxiety, but no baby yet. I will definitely post as soon as I can if something does actually happen though. So for my two or three readers, I am sure that will make you happy.

My appointment with my midwife is tomorrow afternoon, so if there is anything new going on I will post after that.

post number 200!!! Happy Birthday Jacob!

We celebrated Jacob's 2nd birthday today. I can't believe my baby is two! I'm still waiting for the terrible part though. Luckily for him, it looks like he won't have to share his actual birthday with his sister after all. whew! Now she is free to come whenever she is ready. anyway, we didn't plan much because of the "maybe baby" factor. We celebrated with all his favorite foods today. We had marshmallow cereal for breakfast, mac and cheese for lunch and of course pizza for dinner. Talk about an easy boy to please! after dinner we opened presents, then we invited some neighbors over for cake and ice-cream so we wouldn't have to eat a whole cake ourselves. I think he had a pretty good birthday. Here are some pics to enjoy!The amazing glowing light toy Tyler got him. very cool

He also got a gun that shoots bubbles.

Gotta love the tool box set!

Jacob playing with his new toys (mostly tools) He loves to "fix" things around the house like daddy

His "Dog" birthday cake that I got to make Sunday night. He really liked it! luckily it tasted pretty good too.

Boo!

Yep, I started contracting at 4 am and they were about 4 to 6 min apart while lying in bed, then when Randy woke up, we started timing them. contractions were about 2 to 3 min apart for at least 2 hours when we left for the hospital, then on the car ride there, they just stopped. I was only dilated at a one and 70% effaced and not contracting at all anymore at the hospital (even when I literally ran around the halls), so they sent me home. yep, I'm one of THOSE girls. Oh well. I am still having contractions and they are getting stronger, but they are seemingly random at this point. It is hard to know when to leave home though, because the hospital is 45 or so minutes away and I have to have antibiotics because I tested positive for my group B strep test (which means I need to be in the hospital for roughly 5 hours to get 2 doses in). Anyway, We will keep everyone posted. Kinda sucks I know. But hopefully she still won't come on Jacob's birthday TOMORROW! cross your fingers she either comes tonight or Tuesday please.

Yay!

Looks like we are headed to the hospital. I'll let you know what happens!

Pregnancy update

Went to my midwife today. I am dilated at a 1 still and 50% effaced. not much going on except I have contractions all the time. Don't worry, they don't really bother me at all because I relax. The baby has moved down a little lower, but she still has a ways to go before she is ready to come. I'll let you know if anything changes, but I just hope she doesn't come on Monday which is Jacob's 2nd birthday. looks like she just may come around her due date (March 8th). Crazy I know!

I'm not THAT crazy!

Randy and I attended the temple a couple of weeks ago for our stake temple night. We were in the middle of the stake meeting in the temple's chapel and my feet were swelling pretty bad. they hurt in my high heels. When I noticed this, I turned to Randy and I whispered into his ear "Do you think it would be appropriate to take my shoes off while I listen?" He just looked at me like I was crazy and was trying to tell if I was serious or not. he didn't respond. I thought it was weird at the time, but later he told me he thought I asked "Do you think it would be appropriate to take my shirt off while I listen?" Yeah, I may be crazy, but I'm not THAT crazy!

Reading Scriptures Jacob Style

I just think my little Jacob is sooo very cute! My favorite is when we are reading scriptures after dinner and he says all those hard words so sweetly. Anyway, enjoy the video.



p.s. every time he puts his lips to his mouth he is shushing Tyler because it is HIS turn to "read"

A Little Something from Randy

Randy Here. Being the sole Utah member of the Bremner Family, sometimes I am privy to the inside workings of the church long before my, "not-so-Zionist out-of-state" family members are. I will now fill you in on the latest and greatest church news not yet found in the official church news. Enjoy this article straight from a well respected Salt Lake City publication. I look forward to fortune cookies instead of bread, however it might be a little too noisy to be practical. Will Moroni on top the temple be replaced by Buddha soon?

What's the Deal?

(this is NOT my belly BTW. nobody would want to see it right now believe me! lol)

I am 38 Weeks pregnant. A typical pregnancy is 40 weeks. That is roughly how long it takes to carry a child to term so it is healthy, etc. Now why is it that seemingly everyone is asking me things like "Are you going to be induced early?" or "Are you going to have your membranes stripped so you can have the baby sooner?" etc. What's the deal? Is it weird that I am planning on having my baby around my due date? I don't really want any medical interventions or extra steps taken so that I "Won't have to deal with those last VERY uncomfortable weeks." There is a reason that pregnancies are as long as they are and only God and our bodies know when the time is right for the baby to come. Call me crazy, but I am in no hurry to have this baby. It IS getting increasingly difficult to actually do stuff like, oh, I don't know, put on shoes, pick up toys, pick up Jacob, walk without waddling, etc. But I trust my body and my baby to know when it is time to come. Children tend to have their own schedules and being induced so you can PLAN the whole thing, seems a little silly to me. Is it because we have the medical equipment and know how to help a baby survive at even 26 weeks gestation? Yeah, if I had the baby today, or even 2 weeks ago, she would most likely be just fine. I just don't get why everyone is in such a hurry. A few girls I know who are due roughly a month after me are ready to have their babies now! It is crazy. My baby is warm, safe, well cared for and she gets everything she needs without me having to do very much. It seems like a great situation the two of us have going. I WILL let you all know when she does decide to come, and since Ty was born 3 days after his due date and Jacob was born 5 days before his due date, I am thinking that this baby will be born sometime around the first week in March (her due date). As of yesterday, I am dilated at a full 1 and and she has dropped quite a bit lower, I lost 3 lbs this week (which is a sign of she may come soon) and she is getting pretty big. I could have her tomorrow or in 3 weeks, you never know. But I am more than willing to wait and see. I guess I will stop ranting now and just end with WHAT'S THE DEAL?
