Baby Burr

On September 14 I took a pregnancy test and found out we are pregnant!! We almost couldn't believe it. It was such a fun and exciting day! We decided that we wanted to keep it a secret and tell our families in person. Unfortunately my family lives 12 hours away, so we had to wait for a long weekend to drive the far distance. It turned out to be Nevada Day weekend (Oct. 27). We had to wait 6 weeks to tell everyone. It about killed us and I don't think I've ever lied so much in my life...



Since we live close to the M&M Factory, we decided to print the news on M&Ms. We bought them like a month in advance and just kept them in our refrigerator. Every time I saw the M&Ms, I just wanted to get in the car and make the long trek to Idaho, but I knew it would be better to just wait the LONG 6 weeks.



FINALLY, on Thursday, October 27 we made our first stop in Provo. We told my younger brother Dillon the news. He was excited for us. (I look scary in this picture because I just got out of the shower and Greg has a bed head...not a flattering picture).



We also told my sister Ashley. She said I looked fatter. Thanks a lot!



On Friday, October 28 we drove up to Idaho to tell my parents. Everyone cried. Our baby will be my parents' 22nd grandchild. My mom is already planning her trip for when the baby comes. That night we went to their Branch Halloween Party where we told my brother and his family and the whole branch, practically.



On Saturday, October 29 we drove to West Jordan, Utah to tell Greg's family during a murder mystery dinner. We couldn't hold in the good news for long. It was a fun evening. The LONG trip was so worth it to tell our families in person. Plus, everybody got M&Ms out of it!!


On Wednesday, October 19 I went hiking with some of my co-workers to Red Rock. Here I am with my buddy Christine. We both teach Pre-K. You can definitely see my belly in this picture.



On Thursday, October 20 I drove home from work and saw a huge fire. When I got closer to our complex I noticed it coming from our side. I was worried, but it was actually in the building next to ours. Crazy day! We were so grateful it wasn't our building.



My Pre-K class on Halloween. Happy Halloween!!!
