We put all sorts of baby items in Brittany’s parents’ stockings to announce the expecting baby. We think it’s a great way to surprise them.

Mom thought all the baby lotion, powder, and shampoo was for her. Then the pacifier and an explanation from dad clued her in and the screams of joy came.

Things they teach you in birth class
Before you go to the hospital your contractions should be equally 5 minutes apart and you should not be able to talk through the contractions. Breathing is very important

Things they should teach you in birth class: You may be in denial that your contractions are 5 minutes apart and that you’re really in that much pain. Curtis didn’ get to go wakeboarding today.

We finally realize that our beautiful baby girl was born yesterday. We named her Alexia Delyn Burk. We like to call her Lexi.

How long are we going to be this tired?

We finally find a home in Murray and move out of Curt’s parents’. How long did we tell them we would be there? Note to self: Don’t try moving with a newborn.
October 12
Today we learned that the base of the car seat adjusts. Our first child is going to have it rough, it’s like she’s an experiment.

We went to a ward Halloween party and Alexia dressed up as a horse. Everyone kept asking us what she was.
November 2
Alexia was blessed today. Brittany’s brother, Derek, was able to be there from Arizona.

In response to August 12th’s entry it looks like a little while longer.

Lexi got her ears pierced. Curtis said afterwards, “I made sure I wasn’t there, they sure are cute.” With her losing her hair it really helps her look like a darling little girl.

Time to update family and friends with Diary of a Burk…Until next year
