One Month Old

Hey all you blog readers out there its that time again the time were I help you waste a little bit of your time. Some rambles will occur in this blog so be prepared.So lets get to blog'n.

Well this past month has gone by in a wink or as some say in a flash. Remy has turned one month old and I feel like it was just yesterday that he was born and I was in the hospital holding him for the first time. They say your kids grow up right before your eyes and it is true they do. I did not think it was true until this month flew on by and Remy has grown a little bigger and becoming more of a person everyday. Being a mom is a lot of work but has a lot of rewards. The rewards are more than I could have imaged things like, seeing you baby smile, watching him grow a little each day, and even laughing at his poop faces etc. all of these things make waking up at night with him worth wild. (even on the days I wanna kill someone)This past month I have learned something new about being a mom each day and what my mom went through with me. I thank heavenly father each day that I had the mom I did because of all the things she must have put up with me growing up and the things I do know she had to go through with me. This past month I have been preparing for our move by packing a little each day and it is weird to see all our stuff become less and less in our apartment. Since we are moving across country again I have been selling some of our furniture so that we don't have as much to move and also so that I can get so more reliable furniture that will last us more or less a lifetime. So as these things are selling little by little our nice apartment is getting more and more empty and it is just weird. Leaving Idaho will really be more or less a bitter-sweet for us as a family. We started our family here and we got to know more of some of my extended family. Another thing I will miss about this place besides my extended family (i.e. grandparents, cousins etc.) is the amazing scenery and beauty that is Idaho. But as we move to our next adventure we will be able to learn more things about new places and make new friends as we leave ones behind. Making friends is always hard but when we do we hate leaving them. We have made some great friends here and it will stink not to be able to see them again for a long time, but we hope to stay in touch with those we have met and maybe one day see them again.

Remington as we like to often call him Remy has been doing well. He sleeps most of the night with only waking up 1-2 times max. He loves to smile and lay on the floor on his blankets making sounds and listening to Jason Derulo with his dad. Remy really enjoys tummy time whether it is on daddy's chest (which he likes best) or on the floor to where almost every time I catch him falling asleep like that. I sometimes catch some smiles here and there and I love his gummy smiles they make my day. He is getting to know his sister Lexy a little more each day as we try to get her to keep warming up to him. Remy is growing each day and is getting so big we can't seem to make it stop. We have enjoyed having him in our lives each day and can't wait to keep watching him grow into the man we hope he does. Remy is so loved by his father and me and of course lexy who likes to kiss his legs. One of Remy's favorite things is when I sing him his song that I made up. "My name is Remy, Yay, my name is Remy.. R for Rockin, E for excellent, M for masculine, Y for you wish your name was Remy!" and it goes on and on. With that song I move his arms and play with his hands. It is our little song for him and I like to sing it to him everyday. Love that boy....

Dan "daddy B" will be graduating this Wednesday and I could not be any more prouder of him this week as he will get his diploma and move onto his next adventure of school at St.Louis. Remy may be small but I know he thinks his dad is the coolest, smartest, and most amazing dad to be finishing school and going onto better things to further his career and provide for our family. Dan has worked very hard this semester and never stops working so hard for us. They say that when you have a child your love grows stronger for your spouse, let me tell you first hand it does. Ever since Remy was born I have grown to love this man more than I thought my heart could give but it keeps giving love to him each and everyday with this boy in our lives. From the moment he has held Remy to the moments I hear him tell him he loves him, it melts my heart with joy and warms my soul. Dan and I are always learning how to be parents and teaching each other how to do things. Dan does such a good job with our boy.

Lexy, we can never forget Lexy! She is doing a little better each day with Remy, still isn't sure about him but we always try to make her feel included by giving her love, snuggles and as we like to call doggie hugs. I think that Lexy still does not know what to think about Remy but I know as Remy grows that Lexy will grow to love him too. Lexy still loves to sleep all day and snuggle all day. She has stopped sleeping in our bed since Remy has been born which is sad but in the mornings she comes into bed and snuggles till the morning sun comes up. The other day Lexy had a bad dream, I always wonder what she is dreaming about each time due to the fact that she will squeal and do little barks each time it is quite funny.

Remington

Welcome back readers to another addition of the Buzzy B's and our adventures. This months biggest adventure if you have not heard or seen yet is our son was born this past friday on June 20,2014 at 3:30pm. Before I get into anything lets start off the blog shall we. (For warn this could get mushy)

This month has been crazy busy with work and more work along with being prego it has its perks. While I was prego I worked at pizza hut I would typically cook or be a server which was great. As a server being prego is amazing people tend to tip me more than my other co-workers which made all the female co-workers say they wish they were prego to. People would always ask me day in and day out at work if I was ready to pop or when I was due. I did not mind the very frequent questions from complete strangers all the time but it would have been nice if maybe they would have asked me how I was doing instead of the typical when are you due, what are you having, or have you picked a name ( which was my favorite question because I would always say yes but we are not telling people to which they would ask anyways.... sarcasm in my voice here. In the last couple of weeks of work I was hoping from all the walking around at work it would help me go into labor but no such luck happened to me. I worked past my due date and people were always surprised but to them I would say I'm not doing anything so I might as well work anyways. I went to the doctor on monday and we set an induction date for friday the 20th of June at 7:00am. My friend Ariel also set her induction date the same day as well so we could support each other through the entire thing. Friday came and we went to the hospital I got induced and Remington Paul Brixius was born at 3:30pm. I only really pushed for about 30 minutes give or take. My friend Ariel and I had texted the entire time back and forth which for me helped pass the time better and help keep my mind off of things as well as support each other. My doctor Mrs.Huggins was amazing she is very encouraging and helpful during the entire process. It was something I will never forget. It has been a couple of days since Remy was born and it has been a journey. The days are good and the nights are long as he wakes up frequently but though the tire some nights are hard I would not trade this little guy for anything in the world.

Mr.B has been working hard and doing what he does best and that is being a great man in my life. This past week as Remy came into the world he has shown me that I can love someone more than I knew. During the entire pregnancy he has been my rock and right hand man for everything. When Friday came and we were at the hospital every time I had a contraction he was here holding my hand and letting me squeeze what he calls my thunder grip on his fingers. Dan was and has been amazing through this entire thing. Each time he could tell it hurt he just kept saying you got this or its almost over you can do it. It helped me so much. He is more than I could have asked for in a husband and now father to our little guy. Once Remy was born he just looked at me and said " i love you" and it is words like that, that make me know that the man I married was the man for me. Once Remy was born and we could hold him and love on him anytime that he had a dirty diaper he would get up and change his diaper without question. Every time I needed help to go to the bathroom he would help me. Every time the nurse asked him to do something he would do it. Mr.B is going to be a great father to Remy and a great role model to him on what a true gentlemen is. On another note, Mr.B has only a month left of school out here in Idaho and he is working his butt off to do well. He always does well in the end and I have faith in him that he will finish strong and that he will be ready for St. Louis.

Lexy, Lexy is doing great she is always a fun dog but sometimes she just isn't so bright. This past month she had to go to the doctor. Why, you ask? Well Lexy is something different she likes to eat the grass when we take her on walks and not listen to us when we tell her to stop. She likes to eat it so much that she at what is called a foxtail it is a type of weed. She ate one and the seed got stuck in the inside of her cheek where it got infected and had to be removed by the doctor. Her face got swollen and I felt so bad for her. When we picked her up from the doctor she was still drugged up from the doctor removing it from her face. She was so funny. She could not walk straight which made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants. I had to even go back into the doctors to use their bathroom it was so funny. We brought her home and she was not allowed on anything because they said she would fall off. So we kept her in her kennel the entire day. We also had to give her a bath because she smelled sooooooo bad that I wanted to vomit. While I gave her a bath Dan had to help me because if I barley touched her she would just about fall over. She is right as rain now but we keep her on a very very short leash because of it now. So those of you who have dogs be aware of foxtail's because they suck for your dog. Lexy and Remy, well they are getting to know each other slowly but surely. Lexy does better each day and is always loved if one of us has Remy then the other has Lexy. She follows us around when we are with Remy and sits next to me (Mrs.B) while I am feeding him and or holding him. She and Remy will be best friends I just know it.

Well that is all for now I hope you enjoyed our update on Mr. & Mrs. Buzzy B. Until next time you, keep your dogs close and your husbands loved :)

P.S. There is nothing better then to see your husband love your son and watch them bond from the other room. It is just priceless....

Mrs.B

Anniversary, Mothers Day, Pregancy and more

Well its that time of month again where I bore you with my words on a website that you decided to go visit sorry for the disappointment but there will be no love for you here hahah just kidding. Thanks for visiting today and reading my blog to pass the time.
This month there are a lot of new things going on. For instance this week I will hit being 35 weeks preggers and it is crazy that I will only have 5 weeks left after that depending on if the little guy decides to show up late or early. Many people have asked me lots of questions since I have been pregnant. Here are some questions that you may be wondering. Do you have any cravings? No I have not had any cravings but I wish I did as I almost always never know what I want to eat. Did you get morning sickness? No I was super lucky to not have any morning sickness nor did I ever throw up or upchuck as I like to call it. Is it a boy or a girl? It is a boy and we are so excited to have a boy because that is what we hoped for and not just that but he will be the first grandson on both sides of the family. Do you have a name for him yet? We have two names picked out but are not telling anyone due to the fact we do not want to be influenced by anyone nor do we really want peoples opinions on what they think of the names. Does he kick or move at all? To that I will answer it with another question? When does he not. He is a very active little guy and never stops moving or kicking me all day/ everyday. Are you nervous about having a baby? Yes/No I am because what if he doesn't love me or I do something wrong. But I am not nervous because I know that somehow he will always love me and Dan no matter what. So the more I feel at ease with it the more I feel fine with it. I do not want to expect something and then it not happen another way and be disappointed so I figure the more I stay neutral the more I think it will help in the end. Do you have any stretch marks? I do not have any as of now but I owe that all to the coco butter I put on my body everyday. I do expect to see some here and there after I give labor. For now that is all I can think of with questions I typically get while I have been pregnant. Oh one more thing I do not take many belly photos or bump photos as some call it because I am weird and not that kind of person, plus I do not like the way I look as do most women of course while being pregnant.

Mothers Day is today and I as always give a shout out to all the mothers out there who have given birth, adopted, or influenced anyone in anyway as a mother. I respect you and it is hard work as I know I will come to find out here in the next month. My mom is a great mom she taught me so much as a child and even now. She is the strongest women I know and she never gave up on me when I was angry with her and when we did not get along. My mom has been with me through all my heart aches and emotional up and downs. During my teenage years I was not very nice to my mother and she never stopped loving me even with the jerk of a person I was and I truly admire her for that. I wish that I could be half the mother she has been for me that I will be for our kids. She truly is an inspiration to me and I am grateful for her. She has made me and shaped me into the person I am today. My mom is my mom and no one elses (besides my siblings),boy am I lucky. Everytime I go and see my grandparents (her parents) they tell me how amazing of a mother I have and I always agree. I wish I could be with her today and show her how much I love her. But a phone call today will have to do because we are so far apart. I love you mom and will always be forever grateful for all you do and did.

Anniversary!!!! It is two years ago tomorrow that I married the man of my dreams and my best friend. He has put up with all my shenanigans through the years and even before we were married. I am his biggest fan and he is the love of my life and an amazing supporter of mine. We have had many ups and downs but always pull through knowing that no matter what our love is better then any trail we are given. I know that we have so many years to come but I can not wait to keep spending those years with him. He is the love of my life! I can always be myself around him and I can't not love that we are both two big kids at heart and never let that go. Dan has helped me through some really tough times in my life from being let go of a job, to personal issues, and many more that I can never repay him for always making me feel special each and everyday. Our adventures never end but are always beginning. I can't wait for our little guy to get here so that he can see what a great father he already has and a great man he has to look up to.

Lexy is always needed for an update. She has been on a diet since last month and is doing great she started out at 22 pounds which for her dog size and type it is considered over weight. So we started the diet and she is down to 19.6 pounds!!! She looks so healthy and happy now that I love it. She may not be happy that we cut her food down a little but all in all she seems happier. I take her on more walks now due to the weather being some what hotter and she always is ready to go for a walk. I put on my shoes and workout type clothes and she jumps down from the bed and is chasing her tail waiting for her collar to a be put on. Some people have been asking me about her and having a baby if I am nervous or not. I am not nervous one bit for lexy and the baby due to the fact that we have friends who have kids and they are around lexy a good amount and it never seems to bother her. She has also been around newborn babies and does really well so I know she will be a great big sister to her little human brother.


Last but not least a short insert about Dan and I. My semester finally ended on Friday and boy am I happy it is finally over except for the fact that I now have to wait 2 weeks for my final grades to be entered into the system until I can check them and see how well I did. I have two semesters left and will complete my degree online by 2015! Which for some people they think whatever, but for me I think it is truly amazing. Dan did well his last semester and is already into his final semester at BYUI and is struggling right now with all his classes but I know he will pull out on top because he always does and he always thinks he wont but he does. Dan has been amazing through this whole pregnancy and has gone to every single appointment for the baby with me even when it is a 5 min. appointment. I love him for that.


Well I know this is a forever long post and I hope you stuck it out because it is over now. Have a great day and enjoy your mothers day. I know I sure did, Dan made me breakfast :)

Till the next update! (which will more then likely be with the baby)

Update that blog

Hey everyone I know it has been a good while since I wrote a blog post, sorry about that but I am not able to write it as much as I want to, in order to keep you on the up and ups of our life.

Dan is almost done with this semester of school and then he will only have one school semester left to go before he graduates and we will be off to grad school. Which are both exciting and scary at the same time. He is so ready for a new school and new area he just can't wait to be done and neither can I. Dan has been doing the comedy workshop still but is not in charge of it this semester which is okay it gives him time to work on other things in school like his big test next week which is the GRE he is nervous but he did fine on the first practice attempt so I know he will do just fine if not better because as I know and most of you that he is a smart and dedicated guy when it comes to school and studies. Dan has been working a lot and doing his studies a lot too which always seems to pay off in the end. He set up our babies pack and play the other week which was something fun to watch and help him do. We got a pack and play because we will not be here long enough to have a crib and then move a crib so we decided to just get a pack and play for now.

I have been trying to do well this semester as well but it is difficult to say because I have little to no homework all the time and can never tell where I am at in the class or where my grade is even at in the class so it always makes me nervous. I went to my advisor the other day to ask how much longer I have left until I get my associates, to my surprise she only said two more semesters! That definitely made me feel really good inside as I thought that I was no where close to getting it done and that I would be working on it for forever! So it was nice to hear I am close to something rather than nothing at all. I am doing well being prego only issue I have is heartburn all the time but I try to deal with it and of course feeling fat all the time is a problem I am sure all prego's deal with. I am always looking at other prego's and comparing how big they are to me or how much bigger I am to them. Prego problems are real people let me state that for you out the door. I forget things all the time, half the time I ask Dan where is my phone and I go looking for it all over the house to sit back down where I was 5 min. ago when I started looking only to find it sitting right next to me. It is always funny but always makes me feel really dumb each time but I do get a kick out of it. I am about 28 weeks prego on tuesday, I can't believe that I am that far along and I can't believe at the same time that it is taking forever and feels so far away. Back to school stuff in my american government class we have to do a group project with changing something in the government weather it is local or state wide. My group is trying to ban smoking in cars with children in the state of Idaho and it got picked up by the news! It was really exciting for my group and group mates.


Lexy is doing well and she is always snuggling with me or Dan always. She always wants to sniff the stuff we buy for the baby which I do not mind letting her so she can get used to this is the baby's and not yours. We think she will be just fine when the baby comes due to the fact that she has been around other babies a good amount. Her only issue would be her tail she has no idea how much power that thing has and or where it is swinging.

The baby brings lots of new changes coming our way

Well it has been a long time coming since I have written any sort of update on my blog. So I thought it was time to update the ole blog.

Starting off we went home to NC for christmas break where we were finally able to tell our families that we were expecting our first child. At the time I was about 15 weeks prego and we were so tired of holding it in and keeping it a secret. We told both families in their own special way. We told my family (Jesse's Family) by giving them a christmas tree ornament and putting the names Jesse,Dan,Lexy and June 2014 stating that we were expecting in June of this year. It took my family a little bit to get that, that is what it meant but they got it and were super excited. Dan's family we did something different. We thought it would be nice to get them a new family photo done since they had not done one since Dan was little. So during the photo session we had the photographer say "Jesse is prego!" they did not get it right away but eventually did. I am glad that we had done it different for each family even if it didn't go as planned. About a week ago we went to the doctor to find out what the sex of the baby was. Dan and I were hoping for a boy and when we went to the doctor we found out that the baby was indeed a boy! We are so excited to bring a little boy into this world in June. School this semester has not been that great because some of my teachers are really boring. I am taking African history, American Government, History of art and photography, and Ethics which are okay but two out of the four class the teachers just seem to go on and on about nothing. Last semester I finished off strong with 3-B's and one C which for some people that would be crappy but for someone like me it was an amazing accomplishment.

Dan has been working hard and doing a lot of work in school, work and campus clubs. This year he is so close to finishing school he only has the semester he is in now and one more after that left. He has been working hard and doing well at working hard that it is paying off. Dan is pretty excited for this baby even if he doesn't want to admit it. When we went home to NC he got to see his family which he was pretty happy about and not just that but he also got to see his niece Lyli and his brothers dogs which he loves to death maybe a little bit more then Lexy but who can blame him when you love a dog first there is nothing you can really do. Dan has been working out a lot lately and looking healthier and healthier then ever before each time.

It has been snowing a lot here in Idaho lately it started last year around late October here and there and is still snowing now. I like the snow but this is just to much snow for me to handle. Lexy has come to love the fresh snow each time we get it but hates when it gets hard and crunchy because more then half the time when she walks onto it when it is like that she will find a soft spot and fall straight through. It is funny when that happens. Lexy is doing well and I can't wait to see what she will be like with our little guy because I know she will do well. She has been around many of our friends kids and been just fine which makes me feel good. She just needs to work on her tail wagging in the childs face, but I know she will be fine. Dan and I went to Jackson,WY last month and decided to take Lexy with us because we had read and heard that it is a pretty dog friendly place.Which it was! She was let into every single store that we went into. We wore her out a lot because by the end of the day she was crying and crying because her little legs could not go anymore. She is well loved because I picked her up and carried her for one more store and people would laugh because they at first would think it was a baby with a hoodie but it was actually just Lexy.

I feel like there is a ton to say but nothing is coming to mind.

Thats all for now

Jesse

A little bit of fun

Hey readers out there its time for that update! I know I have not been keeping you up to date but I have been super busy.

Lets get started. Mrs.B here and has it been a rough week for me! I have been sick for a while now but luckily I fought the bullet and went to the doctor who gave me some great meds which are making me feel better slowly but surly each day. School has been kicking my butt and I am already ready for the semester to end now! Not only for it to end and no more anxiety from school for me but also vacation to where ever we wonder to. My mission had a mini mission reunion and I was able to go! Which was so nice it was fun to see my mission president and his wife. Dan finally got to meet the man who scared him half to death by calling him the first day I was in the mission field which typically does not happen. This coming week my brother is getting married to his pretty lady! Im excited for them but I wish I could be there but I will be there next year for another celebration they will be having with their marriage.

We took a trip down to Utah and Salt Lake city to visit Dans parents who were in town for about a week but we were able to spend the weekend with them. It was fun we went to the mall which is so much better then the mall here in town to us in Idaho. We had firehouse subs which we do not have here in Idaho either. I love firehouse subs! It is a great sandwich place that I would go to a lot in NC with my mom. We found Dan some new shoes as well as his mom was able to look at some fun children stores with her for out nice Lyli.

Mr.B is doing well as always a great man he is. He and I are playing on some teams again. He is playing football and basketball with the wards team. While we are playing soccer and softball with our ward team. Mr.B has been taking care of me while I was sick. He as well is stuck with a lot of school work as well as actual work at his job. Homework sometimes takes so much of his life he feels bad but we both know it will all be worth it in the end. Mr.B has found out that instead of graduating in June of 2014 he will be graduation in December of next year. It will be a long hall but in the end again its all worth it for him to finish school the right way.


Lexy is Lexy as always she is funny and so playful lately and super funny. I love this dog and even though Mr.B does not admit it but he loves that dog. When I am sick she is always close by and never leaves my side. The other day we went to go watch Mr.B play football and I brought her with me. Another wife watching their husband looked at Lexy and asked for her name which I told her. She said that she was so well trained and I said thank you. I told her I have had her sense she was a puppy and trained her myself. She was impressed which is always nice to hear how well trained my dog is. (I made a new frame craft with a friend for lexy)

Well I know that this is really not an update but it is what I can do for now.

Thats it for now!

Mrs.B out!!!

New Semster

Welcome back to the blog!



So Mrs.B here and this week and the past weeks have been a little eventful compared to the other weeks in the past couple months minus some things here and there. I am in week three and school and it is still a struggle and remains a struggle but I hope with help through some of the schools directors it will get better and I will be able to do better as the semester goes along. I have had a test and a couple of quizzes so far that did not go as I had hoped but we live and we learn how to do better or change something we are doing in hopes that it changes for the better for the next time. I am taking Astronomy, Us history and culture, a communications class on speech and English. They are a hand fill in their own way and each class thinks they are my only class. I go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays while working all the other days when I can. Sometimes doing both can be to much and really overwhelming that I cant take it. Luckily I have Mr.B to help me distress and relax sometimes. We sure had a scare this past week,while I like not to share things that are not to personal I think that I need to give my readers some personal info to keep you guys from coming back. So story time begins. This past week while taking a shower (long story short) I was feeling light headed and all of a sudden blacked out and passed out. One good thing was Mr.B was close by that he caught me and held me while trying to get me back to where ever I went. I woke up didn't know what happened or why it happened but it did. That was just about it. The next day Mr.B went to work and I only did a half day at school because I still didn't feel 100% better yet so he later came home with some treats for me and a sweet but funny card. Inside the card he writes sorry they didn't have any sorry you passed out in the shower cards. It was sweet and made me laugh.


Mr.B and I hosted his friend for about 2 weeks at our apartment while he looked for jobs and got ready for school to start. We enjoyed having him here and we had some fun times with him. Mr.B and him I think got a long to well sometimes that they would just laugh so much that Taylor would tell him to go away because his stomach hurt to much from laughing. Mr.B started school today and he said it was fun! Who ever said class was fun??? He must be sick or something because I don't remember the last time I said school was fun. I woke up this morning to find that Mr.B once again had to shave his beard. I love his beard almost as much as I love him hahahaha. When Mr.B has his beard for a while I love it and then when he shaves it off for school it is the worst thing ever because I love it more then his clean cut face (which is nice to but beards are better). We took Taylor to the Eastern Idaho state fair with us which is located in Blackfoot,Idaho. We had heard well I had heard it was one of the better fairs out here in Idaho. Mr.B,Taylor and I all agreed that it is nothing like the North Carolina fair back home and that we missed that fair so much. In fact the NC state fair starts next month and we all wish we had to money just to fly home for the fair. I'm not saying we didn't like the fair because there was some cool stuff there but we had all been spoiled for so long that we expected a lot more from the fair.


Lexy,is doing some what better being social! When we went home to North Carolina a couple weeks back we had 2 different people watch her. Almost every time she see's either couple she will run up to them and say hello. For those who know Lexy know that,that is a big deal. We try to socialize her like if she was a human but she is soooooo shy we don't know what to do but try and force it. While Taylor was her Lexy just loved to be around him because he was with her 24/7 so now she loves him to death and sometimes would chose him over me! I guess that is a good thing in it's self.


Well that's all for now!
