Funny things Ryan said

I realize I am far behind on blogging (our move, new house, trip to Tenn/Miss, BYU game.... to name just a few). But since my evenings are precious "get unpacked" time (yes, still), I'll just mention a few things while I can.

~ The Sunday before BYU's first game I was in the kitchen finishing making dinner and I heard some rap song along the sounds of Eminem coming from the laptop Ryan was looking at. I asked Ryan why he was listening to Eminem and if what he was watching was Sunday appropriate (hello nag, but I said it teasingly). His immediate response: "It's actually TJ Fredette. And yes it is Sunday appropriate. It's a BYU football video and BYU football helps spread the Gospel. Last I checked, missionary work was an appropriate Sunday activity." This caught me off guard, but you'd think by now it wouldn't. I should have known. :)

~ Probably one of the worst parts about pregnancy for me is the lack of bladder control. I think we may have stopped at just about every gas station between Memphis and Columbus on our drive last week. Also, I got warning from my doctor about not drinking enough water (even though I already feel like I chug it), and was sent home with a huge hospital water bottle and told to drink about 3 of them a day. I went to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes at work yesterday and had to sprint there each time in order to make it. I told this story to Ryan at dinner last night. Then this morning as we were getting ready for work (and after my 3rd bathroom trip since we got up), he said in all seriousness, "you know, Britt, maybe you should take an extra pair of pants with you to work.... just in case." Ha! Yep, it's that bad... although I have yet to actually need that change of pants, thankfully.

~ This next one is not a funny Ryan story, but I'm saying it anyway. I am avoiding birth stories like the plague these days. Most are fine, but sometimes you run into a horror story that makes you never ever want kids. Well, I accidentally stumbled upon one of those horror stories yesterday and was reading it before I knew what it was. Now I am convinced that I am going to die when I have this baby. Not just of pain, but literally. Someone please tell me I am not going to die.

You are NOT going to die! I had two unmedicated out-of-hospital births that went extremely smoothly. Find some positive birth stories to read. There are way more of those out there. They're just not as dramatic for people to tell, so you don't hear them as often. You'll be fine! :)

you are going to be just fine! you will have trained medical professionals there to help you and your loving husband right by your side and of course the wonderful WONDERFUL meds if you decide you need/want them! you are going to do great! AND every pregnancy/birth is different. Both of mine went smoothly (well, labor and delivery.... ya know)

You are not going to die. You will be great!

Marc, Michelle, Jackson, and Bennett said...

You will probably die. :) ha.

No, just avoid those terrible stories, sometimes I feel like people only tell the REALLY bad ones.

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun at the BYU game! ...and yes, you are right you are showing now, but no you DO NOT weight 230 lbs...no matter what any random stranger says!!! ha.

Oh, and I LOVE the new home! It looks amazing! I can't wait until I get to see it in person...someday.

I keep meaning to tell you a funny Jackson story and I just remembered it again when I was saying I can't wait until we get to visit you guys. I will have to call and tell you it. Don't let me forget. It is about Ryan.
