The Parkers

I finally broke down and decided to start a blog...I figured now with a baby coming, it would be fun to document more and write down all the crazy stuff that happens in life!

Plus, we got a camera for Christmas, so I don't have any more excuses for not taking pictures...which are pretty much mandatory for any exciting blog (not that this blog promises to be exciting). :)

To start, right now is a pretty crazy time for us. In February we found out we are pregnant with our first child...and yes it was planned. Of course we thought it would take a little longer than one month to get pregnant, but as Broc likes to proudly state, "He has good swimmers." (That is an exact quote).

Now I am in the 4th month and hoping that the morning (ha ha) sickness is on it's way to being done. The first 3 months have flown by and I can't believe how fast it is going. I have been somewhat lucky so far in that other than a few days where I was sick the entire day, most days I'm nauseated for about 10 minutes, I throw up, and it's over.

On Monday, I was having a BAD sick day and after working all day and then going to dental appointments I was done with the day. At one point during the day I texted Broc and said that our child must want to be an only child, because I was SO sick. I've had the image in my head the past three months of our child in there with one of those drug clickers like they have at the hospital for morephine...except in our child's hand its a clicker for nausea and that is my child's entertainment. Click...ha ha ha...click...ha ha ha.

At a later point in the day I texted Broc again and told him our child seriously needed to take a chill pill and that whatever it was growing or doing...it needed to take a break. It's got another 5 months to grow!

So, that night as I was curled up on the couch in the fetal position barely able to even function, Broc decided to talk to our baby, "Baby, you need to be nice to your mommy, do you hear me, you need to be nice. Your mommy needs you to be nice to her." Of course all said in a very nice and cute voice. Really, all it took was to hear the word "mommy" and the entire day was totally worth it for me. I'm going to be a mommy!!!

As far as the other details of our life, Broc is currently at BYU working towards finishing up his degree in Business and Finance. He has finished all of his Pre Med classes so all he has left are his business classes. He is set to graduate May of 2009. In just three weeks though he is taking the MCAT in Colorado, so he is busy studying for that as well as working and going to summer classes. He works for a Wells Fargo Branch in Draper and most days, he really enjoys it.

Well, that's all for this first post....more to come later!
