" I'm having my strangest craving yet...I want nerds and I hate nerds." Then she ran to the store and bought this.

Pregnancy moment with Brooklyn
The other day she and I went to see my friend Caleb in his appearance in "Le Mis" and there is a part where Caleb came out and was a drunk man. He performed perhaps the most hilarious drunk man we had ever seen and I look over to her and she is laughing so hard that she was crying. She later told me that she had to really concentrate so she wouldn't pee herself.
That's it for now. Keep your eyes out for us in further posts and further updates!
TTFN ta ta for now!
.... this is blue leader signing off
Pregnancy moments with Brooklyn #1
Ok everyone...who ever that may include, mom, Kirsten etc. So this is my first time attempting to make a blog and I have no idea what do do. Brooklyn and I made this to keep our families informed. So news from us..
We are happily expecting a child here soon and went to get the sonogram and just I have to say, it was really exciting! I could not stop smiling at the thought that I would be a Father and that my child was in my wife's belly!! She has been "nesting" lately, coming to me with all sorts of questions like, "What do you think about a Superman theme for the boys nursery?" and "I was thinking about pink and gold for the girl's. What do you think?" Like the good and careful husband that I am, I tell her that I love her and give my input and tell her things like, "I'm just a man what do I know about colors and coordinating them?" I mean really! My mom knows that my style isn't all that reliable. (maybe blonde highlights might shed some light on that)
In other more immediate news, I got TWO jobs. One is painting someones house which i am starting tomorrow and that job will pay me $500 total. The other is my more stable one, I am going to be working as a full time window washer. It was great! I went in for the interview and was really nervous hoping to get the job, considering I have all the equipment and I have experience with it as well, I thought I had a good chance. I talked to the lady and they offered me the job then and there. I got the two jobs within 10 minutes of the other! Can you believe it? I was looking on the BYUI website and found the paint job so I called and then I saw the window washing job posted right under that one. I was so excited.
Ok now time for the little insert I will now and forever call,
Pregnant moments with Brooklyn
...Brooklyn is just lying there on the ground with a box of scalloped potatoes. I am still waiting to find out what she plans to do with them.
....Cravings still not any big ones but she is downing popsicles like there's no tomorrow! we just went to the store and bought her a huge bag of them and since then she has had two.
...While in the store she would get mesmerized with all the different foods and I had to drag her away because had I not it would have found it's way into the cart.
And that concludes this session of pregnant moments with Brooklyn.
Ok I know that there are some out there who want to see the pictures with Brooklyn holding her belly. To that I say they are on their way. We are planning on them by the end of this week so stay tuned for that. We will be posting them periodically as they come. Ok well I have to wrap this up.
From the Whitton's we say "Love ya"!

Double Shift
As the title states, tonight I worked a wonderful double shift at work! And I am EXHAUSTED. Basically I'm going to write until Josh gets home from babysitting for our friends.
As you all know by now if you saw the facebook post, we posted the first photo of our adorable little baby! He/She is growing nice and healthy, and was really fun to meet for the first time the other day.
Wednesday morning we went to the Temple since I didn't have to work until the evening. For the first time I got to do sealings with Josh, which was a really neat experience. We were able to go for about an hour before I started to get morning sickness. So after doing as many names as we could we went back to the Celestial room for a little bit and just talked until I knew it was getting close to the time when I needed to eat or I'd be really sick. I joked that the baby was just really excited about going to the Temple as a family for the first time and must have been doing little dances and flips inside me. It was such a wonderful date!
Immediately afterwards we went to Broulims (the grocery store) to get more bread for me (since toast and butter seems to always be a safe bet for me). That was great for me, because I was craving nearly everything I saw and smelled, rather than becoming nauseated by all the aromas.
We then went home and relaxed until it came time for our appointment. We are going to Seasons Medical, which is the place I went to before I was married and during the first part of our marriage when I was having my medical issues that had stuck me in the ER that one night. I was ecstatic to learn that the Doctor I had been seeing every time at Seasons Medical could also do deliveries and follow through my entire pregnancy! So my first visit was with him (Dr. Codd). Oh, and I forgot to mention: Seasons Medical switched into their new building which is huge, beautiful, and looks much nicer than any other doctors office or hospital I've ever seen... so I'm a lucky duck! Plus the entire staff are the best doctors and nurses I've ever had too, so that's enhancing the experience all the more.
First we weighed me in, and sadly I still have not gained any more weight (but my belly is really starting to bulge!). Then we went in for the ultrasound and got to see and hear our baby for the first time! It was one of the best things I've ever seen. As soon as the baby came up on the screen I couldn't believe how well we could see him/her! And the baby was waving and squirming like crazy! It put on quite the show for us, the nurse even had a bit of a hard time getting photos because it kept moving so much. We also got a video of the heartbeat, and I'm hoping I will be able to get that off of Josh's phone and somehow loaded on here since it didn't work on Facebook. I was so happy to see the baby for the first time though! I was too excited to cry, and I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the night.
After the ultrasound I got to talk with Dr. Codd a little more, and he let us know a little more about their staff and how the actual labor would go along when it came time. Basically there are three doctors that work there, and Dr. Codd had nothing to say but good things about the other two (one of which he joked has delivered half the babies in this county). If we have a preference on the doctor we want we can certainly try everything we can to get them, but of course if they're out of town or can't come in the second the baby is being born, one of the other two will step in. So Dr. Codd recommended that we meet with each of the other doctors in visits so we could get more comfortable with the entire staff (even if we just want Dr. Codd to deliver, which is where I'm at right now).
Once the first doctor visit was over I uploaded the baby's photo to Facebook then had to get ready and leave for work. Fortunately they were overstaffed so I was able to go back home and spend more time with my wonderful husband, but not before I told my boss the big news!
Bryan (the owner/manager) was thrilled! He gave me a hug and then gave me some advice as a friend. My favorite bit was his advice about money. "Don't worry about money," he told me, "The Big Guy (God) knows when a baby is on the way, and he's going to take care of you guys." He then told me how worried he was about how they'd be able to afford and take care of a baby with his first two kids, but they did get by, and believed that the same could and would happen for me and Josh. It made me feel much better about that since money is obviously a major concern to us! It was nice to hear it from someone who I didn't realize was religious. After giving me the friendly advice he got excited and went and told the staff I was pregnant. Everyone was thrilled for me! And since then have been even nicer, easier, and have been feeding more than usual. I have the best coworkers!
So speaking of work, as I said before, today I pulled my first double shift. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be since it was really really really really really slow. I had a total of 6 or 7 orders today. And I was at work from 8 am to 10:30 pm! But on the bright side, after I got all the random jobs we could think of done I was able to watch TV and chill out on the couch! I also watched Amber's kids chase around the other waitress, Kristy, with our squirt gun, so that was amusing. At the end of the day, my body isn't as physically tired, as it is "I was bored all day and just wanted to nap" tired. Luckily I was able to get some more practice on drinks today, which greatly contributed to my tips tonight.... At this rate we will be able to pay our bills! haha :)
Well, I am so excited about our little baby Whitton! The pictures are up on the fridge, but my favorite is the one we posted on Facebook. I look at it all the time, and it helps me feel so much more connected actually seeing the baby! I'm glad everything is running so smoothly so far (of course, besides the morning sickness). I can hardly wait to meet our little blessing! Is it weird that I think that the baby looks cute just based off that photo? Maybe it's just because I'm so relieved that all the limbs and toes were accounted for... I bet this baby will be perfect. And if it's as good looking and as charming as its Father we are headed in the best direction possible! :)
Josh is not home yet, but I am extremely tired and need to be up early again tomorrow for my morning shift! So I am signing out! Love you all so much!
Love,
Brookie Wookie
