Nothing Is Sacred

Nothing of daddies is sacred, that is. It all started when I married Jon, not only did I get an amazing husband, but I got all of his clothes. Jon had this really cool Michigan hoodie that I fell in love with and now wear it to death(it is literally falling apart at the seams). I wish I could say that the hoodie was the only thing I took, but it isn't. I have stolen four sets of jammies and have wore them all out except for the set that I am on right now. Two hoodies, two pairs of BYU-I workout clothes, one long sleeve shirt, and two very warm pairs of long johns, one Penn State sweater. I can honestly say that I don't feel to bad. Jon teases me a lot about stealing his clothes, he has even tried to buy me my own clothes but for some reason I love his more.

When Jon did his visit to U of M last spring, Jon came home with tons of loot. Amongst everything he brought home was a Michigan stocking cap/beanie/whatever you want to call it. Well Brett found it last week and now Jon's hat now belongs to Brett. Jon may have been slightly disappointed if it weren't for that fact that Brett is a lot like me, and he absolutely loves his dad. Jon will put the hat on his head and Brett will come up and take and put it on his head, it is so fun to watch them. Let it be known though, that is Brett's hat! On Monday, I found Brett in the only Michigan sweatshirt that I haven't stolen. It was like a big dress on him, he was so content that he wore it for hours. It is a good thing that Dad loves a little boy too, huh?

So to Jon I say, I am sorry Brett likes your things too, but thanks for the clothes!Slight disclaimer: The picture of me was taken moments ago(10:49pm) and for being that late at night and with only half my makeup on for the day, a cheesy grin, I think I look pretty good. Not the best, but pretty good.

I will also post pregnancy pictures, when I have something to show off!

Ahh....Sacrament Meeting!

Last Sunday, we were down and out with a nasty cold. With much hesitation, I missed my first sunday during this pregnancy(when I was pregnant with Brett I missed church a lot, and it was really hard to go back, hence the hesitation). This week didn't go smoothly, and Brett has been cranky. Our colds go worse, but I was determined to go to church, even just for sacrament. It was so good to partake of the sacrament, even if we were fighting a little boy the whole time.

He did how ever offer a little comic relief, when he held out his had that had matchbox cars in it and announced to the little boy in front of us, "Mine, Mine!" Or as he is shoving said cars down his onesie, "Pocket!"

Sadly we left after sacrament, but the baby and I couldn't take anymore knees for elbows from a little boy and Papa was so tired and sick. Today I was able to feel uplifted and ready to take on next week. I just hope that the week takes it easy on me.

I don't know if I should post updates about the pregnancy, and what people what to know. So there is a little poll to the right, please vote so I'll know! I promise not to be offended, if you don't care.

Ultrasound Pictures

It's a...Baby!

On Friday was our appointment for the ultrasound. One of the first things that we learned is that this child is stubborn. When we scheduled the ultrasound we were hoping to be able to find out the gender of the baby. However, upon starting the ultrasound the baby promptly tucked both little feet under the behind and held that position no matter what the ultrasound tech tried to do. However, at the end she finally gave in and decided to let us know that she is a little girl. We are really excited to be having a girl but the best news is that she is healthy. The ultrasound shows that her heart is healthy and strong and that her body and brain are all developing on schedule. We are grateful for the steady growth and development, despite Kathlen's sickness. We are so excited to welcome our new little one! Ultrasound pictures to come.

Our Newest Addition!

Jon and I have been planning this for quite sometime, we knew that this would add to our expenses. As if one wasn't hard enough to take care of, to add another would bring a whole new set of challenges. We knew that this was inevitable and we had been planning on it, so it was no surprise to our families when we announced that we had finally purchased our new laptop. With both of us in school now, we couldn't say no. We are just loving it, it gives us a whole new level of freedom. There is something liberating about not having to sit at a computer. We will no longer have to fight over who's school work is more important.

Life just couldn't get any better, well actually it can. Maybe your original thought about our addition was right. Ok, it was right. All of my hospital visits and my chemical imbalance(which was true) are because of our new little one. The pregnancy has been way worse then Brett's, but we have been able to make it through(there were times that I didn't think that I would, literally). I am currently 18 weeks, which I am thrilled about. Every week that passes means that I can eat and smell more, which thrills Jon too. We have not been able to cook in the house, and our ward has been amazing about taking care of us. They have even taken Brett so that I could rest. We have been so grateful for all of the help. We go in next week to find out the gender of, I am putting up a little poll so you can vote. We have been seeing a high risk doctor and she has already done an ultrasound to make sure that we are only having one. So voting will be 50/50, it will be interesting to see what you guys think. But hurry you have a little more then a week. We have a few suspicions about what we are having, but I am not saying anything. Baby is due June 11th, Brett and baby will be 2 years and week apart. Brett is excited for Baby, he will be a great big brother.

It Is So Good To Be Home!!

We just got back yesterday from all of our holiday travels. We left on the 17th of December and flew to Washington to be with my family. All of our flights were pretty much on time(a delay took place once we boarded the plane, which made us almost miss our next flight). Once we landed in Seattle, there was snow galore and the passes were closed. We made it home the next day but not without some more delays. We had planned to have Christmas on Christmas, cause this was our year Dad didn't have to work. Sadly and quite mysteriously four people came down sick, so dad had to work anyway. Which isn't that bad cause I still had shopping to do, and those after Christmas sales were great. Brett loved unwrapping all of his gifts, he got spoiled and he didn't mind one bit.

After two weeks of hanging out, having fun, and sleeping in(thanks to Mom, Mikaela, and Heather) it was time to head back to Michigan. Again flights were great, no delays. We got home at 5pm, un- packed everything and then repacked for Mom and Dad Wierschkes. We left on Friday and spent the weekend with them, and had another delayed Christmas.

We had a blast the holiday season, it was so nice to be with family and enjoy the season. We received lots of great gifts, the truly blessed our lives this Christmas. We love our Families so much and are every grateful to them for helping us out. Even though we wished we could have spent more time with all of them, and we are kind of sad that we start school tomorrow. It sure is good to be home!
