Update


Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted anything in forever. I probably lose readers every week I don't post something. Good thing these aren't paid subscriptions.

Oh hold on. I have to pee again. And probably throw up too. Be right back.

So. If only I was this sick when I wasn't pregnant! Maybe I would have lost weight more quickly. JUST KIDDING!

I am really excited to have this baby. But along with the excitement of course, comes a lot of unsurety (is that a word?) and nervousness. Nope, I just spell-checked and unsurety is not a word. How can I be a mom? I can't even speak English. Do you capitalize the word English??? ARGH!!!

There is so much unknown. I know the Lord has a plan for us though, and he won't cause us to go through anything we can't handle. In 1 Corinthians he says, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." Even though this scripture is about temptation, it clearly says the Lord will not put us through anything we cannot handle. So I just need to take a deep breath and hold it for awhile.

But how will we afford this baby!!! Will we ever buy a house??? Can I have a raise??? Scratch that, can I just stay home and care for my child and quit my job!?!?! What about school? Which school is best for my children? What if they get picked on in school? Will they be popular or dorky? Somewhere in between? Will they have a testimony? Will they believe me when I tell them Satan is real and is working to tempt them? Are they going to go on missions and get married in the temple?

Ok, focus. All I have to worry about is right now. Getting through this pregnancy healthy and safe. I can worry about after that later. Right?

And how will I ever do a good job at home, work and church if I am trying to give 100% of myself to all three? How do you women do this??!?!?

This is why the human gestation period is so long. I need more time.

Don't worry Jenn. It becomes much more nerve-wracking and complicated once they're actually born. :) But you also get an outpouring of the Spirit to help you cope with the late-night feedings, the crying all day and night for no good reason at all, the 23-a-day diaper changes, the puking on everything, and the 42-pound mondo-size diaper bag you'll be carrying EVERYWHERE you go. So cheer up!

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
