Hiccups

So, I have been really bad about posting about my pregnancy. So, today I decided that I would. It is so amazing to feel Brooklynn inside of me! She has been getting the hiccups so often these days! Today alone I have counted, and she has had them 4 times! I started to get worried, but then I did some research, and learned that it is very normal, and even healthy for them to get the hiccups. Some say that it is a sign of a healthy baby, and one that is going to be a strong breather. I wish I would have documented the first time I felt her, but at first I just thought she was hitting me over and over in the same spot, until I realized that she was having the hiccups! It is so crazy to feel her having them. I felt bad at first because I know I am just misrible when I have the hiccups, and I thought maybe she was too, but everything that I have read says otherwise. Hopefully, this is not a sign that she will have them all the time when she is here. If she does then I think she will become misrible, and get irriated at them. I cannot wait to see her, and be able to hold and kiss on her! I really want this month to go by fast.

Update

Here is an update on us. We had a wonderful Christmas. We went a little over board on each other. I figured it was ok since it is the last Christmas with just the two of us. Brandon got a new golf bag, and games for his x-box. I got a sewing machine, and an ipod.

Christmas eve all of Brandons family came over to his parents house for dinner and a little "together" time. It was a lot of fun. It was my first experience with the Christmas hats. It is a tradition in the Tanner family that you have to wear a Christmas hat during dinner.

Brandon and I spent Christmas eve at his parents house. We woke up with them and opened presents. It was my first Christmas away from home, and it went really well.

Happy Birthday To Brandon! 1/5

We went out to Dinner with Brandon's Parents, his sister Jen and her kids, and sister-in-law Melissa. I had a cake made for him and we ate it there. I got him a new hoodie from BYU I. He said that is the only memorabilia he wanted from here. I think it looks good on em!

My man loves golf, and hopefully in AZ he will get to golf whenever he can get a chance. There are 250 golf courses in like a 30min drive from each other. We are so looking forward to move to warmer weather! He can golf year round!

Hurray for Brandon!

So, Yesterday Brandon got a call from AT Still, a PA school in Mesa AZ, and they offered him a spot in their program that starts in June. We are so excited! Brandon has worked so hard, and prepared so much for this and now we really have a spot! It really has taken a load off of him and me. He stressed a bit, but now we can just relax. We have not heard anything from the TX's schools yet, but I think he will still go and check them out if they want an interview. I don't really see the point, but whatever he wants to do is fine with me. I am just happy that we are really going to be leaving Rexburg! It really isn't that bad, but with the weather how it is now, it really makes me want to get outta here! The high for today is 9 degrees! I'm sure when we move to AZ, I will complain about how hot it is. What can I say? I'm a complainer. But, I have promised myself that I'm going to try and make the best of this winter b/c it is the last one here in Rexburg. I really want to make a Snowman. Brandon thinks I'm crazy, but I've never made one before. The snow that we have gotten though, is not the right kind of snow for snowmen... Brandon should know I guess. I have no idea. I also really wanted to try out snowboarding again.... But since I'm prego, Brandon said it's not the best idea. I guess he still remembers last year, and how I was in the snow on my stomach the entire time! So, that is it for now. I will post about Christmas later. I'm very excited about Christmas this year. It will be the first Christmas for me away from home, but I know the Tanners will take care of me!

Dr. Appointment

So, Brandon and I went to my doctor on Thurs the 20th, and we found out that we are having a little girl! I'm so excited, Brandon on the other hand was not so excited. He had convinced himself that we were having a boy. I told him not to do that to himself, but he did anyway. He is excited now though. Our little girl is going to have him putty in her hands! Girls are always Daddy's Girls. She is'nt going to want anything to do with me! I am just excited that everything looks good, and that she is healthy. We have not decided on a name yet. I think I'm going to have to wait until I see her to give her a name. We have a list that we like, but we will see. I felt so bad that he was so sad that is wasn't a boy, I let him get an early Christmas/Anniversary/B-day gift. He got an X-Box 360! That made him happy!

Summer Fun "update"

So, yes it has been a while since I have posted anything. Here is an update. We have been busy this summer. We went to Canada for Canada day which was July 1. It was tons of fun. We went up a day early to stay with Matt and Sadie. Then we had the 4th of July here in ID. Everyone came home to Mom and Dad T's. The boys had a modified Tanner cup, that Brandon won. It was great getting to see everyone. Then Brandon and I went on a trip to NC to see my Family. Almost everyone was there. Brookie and his kids didn't get to make it, and neither did the Stuckis. It was still fun. Kari-Jo, Joni, and me and Brandon went to Bush Gardens. That was the first time Brandon had ever been. I think Bush Gardens is the BEST Theme Park ever!

Then.... we found out that we have exciting news...we are expecting a BABY! We are so excited to bring a little one into this world. The baby is due April 6, 2009. I found out while we were in NC, but waited a week before I told Brandon. I was going to surprise him, but I couldn't hold out long enough.

Then we got to go to White Fish to Aunt Debbie and Uncle Peters Cabin. It was so beautiful. It was a lot of fun. Lots of water play, and just sitting in the sun reading a book. It was so relaxing. That was Brandon's last little trip before he had to go back to school.

Me on the other hand... I went to San Diego CA to visit with my Mom while my Dad was in meetings there. We went to the Temple, which was so beautiful inside and out, and we just hung out. I was there to keep her company. Then about a week later I went back to NC for Tara and TC's sealing. It was such a great experience. It was very touching to see those kids dressed in white getting sealed to their parents. All of us sisters were there. We are all very excited for them.

That is about it... Brandon is back in school. We have applied to PA schools, and now we are just waiting for invitations to come and interview. I'm just working still as a receptionist at Community Care. I love my job. It is going to be sad when we have to move. I will post some pictures later.

Goin' Back in Time

On Sat. night we went to a Beatles concert. Can you see these guys? They look just like the real thing! It was so much fun. Mom and Dad T, and the Housleys came out too. It was here at the BYU I stadium. They were really good. I think Jenn had the most fun though. She didn't sit the entire time! She was up dancin'. I got up a few times, but my "stick in the mud" husband didn't want to stand up with me. He was tired though. All day Sat, he was golfing with his dad. They went 18 holes. But, it was a great time. It was so much fun to see all the different ages enjoy such great music. There were lots of older people to young kids that were there. The Beatles will never get "old". Brandon said to me when we got home, that he wished we grew up during that era. I said why? We get to enjoy the same music now!

These pictures are of Jenny and Tanner dancing, and Dad and I listening to the music. Can you see Tanners Hair? It was so stinkin Cute! Jenn had it all spiked up.

*Brandon and I cuddled up enjoying the Music*

Baby Gift

Katie, a girl I work with, had a little baby girl and her shower was Sat. So, I made her a burp cloth, receiving blanket, and little socks. I then decided that she also needed an outfit to go with all of the accessories. So, this was the final present. Brandon said that I went way overboard, but I had tons of fun doing it. My favorite part were the socks. They are so cute! I just wanted a little foot in them! These were my first socks that I have done. I think they turned out really great. Thank you Kari Jo for teaching me how to do this. I really love it, and it is very therapeutic!
