SO I have been one slacker of a blogger lately and decided I need to start catching up, so here is a little bit about what all happened in January.
Most of you know we announced that we are having another baby that is due in August. It was so exciting but scary to find out we were pregnant. I had a miscarriage this last year and I was so scared that it was going to happen again. The more nauseated I was the more sure I was that this baby was for real. I think after having had the miscarriage I was still really nervous until we were able to go to the doctor and find out that everything really was ok. We have decided to go down to Ogden to Dr. Housel and we will most likely be delivering at McKay Dee. I love his office but the wait times could become a problem. It was so cool to have an ultrasound done on our first visit and to be able to hear the babies heart beat (168 bpm). His office even gives you a DVD that you take each visit and they put the ultrasounds on it! Cool, huh?

I started a new shift at work this month. I'm still working 12 hour shifts but instead of being gone until midnight each night, I leave work at 9pm. It's been good to be able to get to bed a little bit earlier but Brooklyn is still having a hard time adjusting. She wants to wait up for her daddy (which has been anywhere from midnight to 3am, 7 days a week!) and then she wants to sleep in until noon. Oh well I guess, at least for now. I love watching her sleep, especially when she has crazy hair and is drooling everywhere :O)
Brooklyn has also started to love dressing up. That's the first thing she wants to do when she gets up and says, "mom can I get all dressed up?" It's so cute. She has particularly enjoyed her tutu that she got from her Aunt Jamie for her birthday, and weirdly her bike helmet! At least she is being safe?
Up until recently Brooklyn has been such a good eater. She would try anything at any time. This month it seems as if she has started to pick and choose what she thinks looks good. She will still eat any kind of pasta (sans the sauce). She loves fruit, except pears, "mommy I don't want pears, I want apple." She has also become quite fond of oreos, but mostly just the insides.
Well she has been saying this for a while but I'm just getting around to sharing it...
"TIWI is my best frend"
She loves that dog more than anyone else and lets us know on a daily basis. This partiular night she was hiding under the bed with Kiwi. It was a little scary becasue there isn't much room under our bed but she made it work. Kiwi doesn't alsways love Brooklyn but she tolerates her well these days. (you can see Kiwi in the right of the pic)
Our house is slowly coming together. This month our project has been getting the front room put together. We started painting and that's about as far as we've gotten...I'll get pictures on here when it's finished.
Over all January has been a good month...let's hope that it continues through the year!!!
