Weeks 17- 20

Wow these past few weeks have been crazy!! We went to Utah to shop and go to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert, which was AMAZING. I love Alfie Boe.  We also went to go find out what we're having and our baby was turned the wrong way so we couldn't tell! I probably had a bad attitude but it made me grouchy for the rest of the day. We had Christmas and New Years too! Oh, and last but not least, we moved out of our basement apartment and into a house! Yay! The house we are in belongs to a couple that are currently living in Portugal serving an LDS mission, we also get to watch  their 18 year old Bichon Frise, Poppy! He his very sweet. OH and last last but not least, we got our little dog Tutu! We adopted her from the animal hospital my older sister, Jill works at. She is a Shih- Tzu and has one eye and I love her fiercely.

Weight gain: 7 pounds. I am waiting to gain 5 lbs in one week. It is going to happen I just know it.

Showing yet? I think so! Even with a whole outfit on I think I am showing.

Food aversions: Chicken, melted cheese, pizza, ANY raw meat, even the smell of ground beef being cooked just makes me feel gross.

Food cravings: gummy worms.. any kind of sour candy. Chocolate really doesn't do it for me anymore, so shocking! I love any kind of fruit, especially strawberries, which is a hard craving to have this time of year.  I have found personal watermelons and those are good. But they are expensive!

Baby preparation:  My Uncle Todd and Aunt Julie offered to give us their crib and changing table, which was so kind of them I just want to cry when I think about it. Cory gave me a rocking chair for Christmas, and My mom gave me some sleepers.
