Pockets

A few days ago I put some pants on Brenner and he suddenly discovered he had pockets. So the whole day revolved around pockets and all the many wonderful things to put in them. Of course, being the Mother, I thought it was cute and adorable and I took pictures of him with his hands in his pockets (none of which were really that great). So today was laundry day and I put some things into the dryer, turned it on, and went about picking up books and toys. Later, when the clothes were dry, I pulled them out and discovered many small rocks and lots of dead grass scattered thoughout the clothes. Pockets were not so cute anymore. I had to rewash all the clothes because the grass stuck to everything, and from now on, I am doomed to be the "prewash pocket checker". Such is the life of a Mom I suppose. Here are some pictures of the cute little pocket boy prior to the episode.

ok ok...

Alright out with it already! Yes I'm pregnant, yes this was sort of unplanned, and yes I am SO excited! I'm due November 21st, meaning I'm only about 9.5ish weeks along. Travis and I were going to wait until I was farther but, yeah, we both had problems with that. I had planned on taking my last two classes in the fall and then get pregnant after that, but it looks like I am Summer Semester bound, and that's ok too. So in the mean time I am a little sicker than I was with Brenner, but all in all doing well and just trying to get through finals AND sell our house in Ogden ASAP. No big deal.
I almost think this news is just as exciting though: BRENNER IS BINKY FREE!!! We decided one night last week to just put him to bed without it and he didn't make a peep and hasn't asked for it since! I am so relieved because I thought it was going to be a horrible battle, but he has been so great about it.
That is my life in a nutshell right now. Thanks for all the congrats from my sweet girlfriends!
