Chris and I spent our first and last Christmas together just the two of us. We usually flip flop between my family and his on Christmas day. My family was spending Christmas in Houston with my oldest sister, Michelle. My doc gave us the no-go on traveling that far this close to my due date. …
Bruns’ Family Christmas
Last night, Chris and I hosted Christmas dinner at our house for his parents, aunt/uncle and we invited my parents. Since we aren’t traveling or driving anywhere for Christmas this year, we brought the festivities to us. And, since it was Christmas at my house, I did it the only way I know how —…
Wait, I’m going to get bigger??
Here I am at just past 35 weeks. How in the world did that happen? One one hand, I feel like I was just telling everyone I was pregnant. On the other hand, I feel like I’ve been pregnant for about two and half years. Clearly, at this point it is no secret that I’m…
I Never
It’s definitely safe to say that you do not know what to expect once you become pregnant. No matter how much you’ve read, or how many friends or family members have been pregnant. In the spirit of the college drinking game, I Never, I decided to compile a list of things I never thought I’d…
Lots to be thankful for!
Phew, what a month November has been. It’s clearly the end of the semester, because school projects, finals and other crap is all happening at once. Perhaps it’s a good thing because I could use a little distraction from the fact that I’m less than seven weeks away from holding little Walt for the first…
He has a name!
Walter “Walt” Hill Bruns Chris and I are very proud to announce that we have a name for the little man! I was forewarned by many of my mommy friends that picking a name would be one tough chore. Boy, were they right! There are so many things to consider such as: What nicknames will…
Halloween Fun!
Last weekend we took part in tons of Halloween activities. It was such a gorgeous day last Saturday, so I rode around in the golf cart with Chris, while him and his buddy, Jed, played golf. Hopefully soon, I’ll be swinging the club again! (Swinging and making contact with the ball is a whole other…
I’m FREE! (mostly)
It’s taken several days to write this, but FINALLY on Friday, Oct. 22 I got the big, purple cast permanently removed from my leg. What a relief! Here’s a pic immediately after removal. You should be warned that you are looking at a werewolf leg that hasn’t seen daylight in four weeks! So, here are…
Not much of an update
It’s been over a week since my last post, mostly because I’ve had absolutely nothing interesting to say. I’m certain that can be argued for many of the previous posts (although, the foot injury post is very edge-of-your-seat!). The past week has been nothing more than a routine… with a five-pound weight on my foot. …
Epic Sports Weekend!
What a sports-filled weekend it was in Dallas! Too bad NONE of the outcomes were favorable for the Bruns’ household. Luckily, we still managed to have a really good time. Saturday we spent pretty much the entire day at Cowboys Stadium to root for the fightin’ Texas Aggies against the Arkansas Hogs. We were lucky…
