This week has been the most productive week since we moved in. The day after my mom arrived we went to work (and when I say "we" I mean mostly Matt and my mom) fixing our fence that has been broken since Hurricane Ike. Check. We painted the baby room a nice neutral brown color called antique brown. Check. We organized Matt's office. We dug around all or bedding in the front and laid new mulch. We went maternity clothes shopping. Check, check and check. And we did a bunch of other little things throughout the week. We could not have done it without my mom here, she is the craziest worker I've ever seen. YEAH FOR MOMS! She'll just keep going and going until I make her come inside and rest/eat so she doesn't pass out on me. I'm hoping that some of that work ethic is buried somewhere inside of my genes and it's just waiting to manifest itself. We had the worst thunderstorm on Saturday. The worst I think since the hurricane. Here's a little video:
In case you can't hear above the roaring rain, Matt is saying something along the lines of, "This is the new addition to our house, it's a waterfall and you can shower in it too."
Baby Sunday: 23 weeks
Obsessions/ Rampages: Obsessed with the baby moving all around. Matt can feel him squirming all the time now. It's so fun. Also, I cannot get over how much my figure is changing. It's like I stand sideways and BOOM there's a torpedo coming out of me. It is unreal how much the human body changes. So cool. So far I've been really good with everything. I don't have heartburn yet and I've found some good positions that I are the most comfortable for me right now. Overall I really can't complain. Things have been very smooth and I feel very blessed.
Elations/Worries: Elated that I finally have some clothes that fit now! My mom and I went shopping and I must say maternity clothes have gotten very cute. I was a little worried that I wouldn't find anything I liked because most people I see all look like they are wearing tents and some maternity clothes look so frumpy, but I was pleasantly surprised that I actually had to narrow down my choices so Matt wouldn't die when I told him the total. They have these new secret fit bands on some bottoms now and they are sooooo comfortable . I may even wear them when I'm NOT pregnant:) Plus they are so cute, I feel like I'm wearing normal clothes. Awesome.
I've reached a small milestone-I had an appointment this week and I my tummy is now being measured with a tape measure. I also got all my instructions and Glucola for my glucose tolerance test. At my next appointment they are going to give me another ultrasound so they can assess the heart more clearly. They didn't get to see as much as they would have liked last time, let's hope that everything is perfect.
Aversions/Cravings: Cravings- sweets. I feel like I could shove a whole bag of chocolate chips in my mouth and still not be satisfied. Fish is really good this week too-especially in a corn tortilla. yum. And pizza always sounds good, but only with pineapple or veggies. Don't even try to put anything else on it or I'll crinkle my nose at you. Food is my friend now. I cannot tell how many times I've gone over in my head what food places we are going to eat at when we visit Utah in couple weeks. The list keeps getting longer and longer. Okay I better stop thinking about food, I'm starting to salivate.

Keep it coming Megan! That was an amazing video of the thunderstorm. I was waiting for Matt to go dive into your new backyard pool.
The rainstorm reminded me of Honduras!
