Spring Cleaning.. err summer cleaning?

So no one in Provo wants to hire a pregnant girl. Go figure. It's kinda a bitter sweet thing. I get so bored sitting at home all day, but it's nice that I have time to do things and it actually puts me in the mood to do things I normally wouldn't want to ever do after a long day of work. 

So this past Saturday Jaxon was kicking me so much. I literally sit there and then start smiling out of the blue. It's really one of the most exciting things I've ever experienced in my life. So I got to thinking more and more about him. This got me excited to start working on his nursery. The apt we live in is two rooms. The "master" has a walk in closet, but all of Brandons clothes are in there. So my clothes are all in the second bedrooms closet. No room for baby stuff. Anywho, I spent about 8 hours that day cleaning out and going through every closet, nook, and cranny in our apt to make space. I think we goodwilled/boxed up 2/3 of the clothes we own. Yay space for me in the master and space for Jax in the bedroom! Moral of this story: when you have the urge to do something like clean out and thin your whole lifes work of crap. Do it.

On a completely different note. For the past few weeks Brandons tooth has been driving him nuts so he decided to finally go to the dentist. They pretty much told him he has a cavity and the gums around his wisdom teeth have been getting irritated. He never had to get them out because they grew in straight. Well awesomely enough it is cheaper to just pull a tooth than to cap them so he just said what the heck I'll just get them all pulled. So a routine dentist check up turned into him getting all 4 teeth pulled and being out for 3 days. Let me tell you, you don't know your husband till you've seen him high on pain meds and laughing gas. He called practically everyone in his phone yelling and sounding drunk. I almost peed my pants driving him home. It was pretty funny until he started to drool blood and since his whole face is numb he pretty much started spewing blood everywhere. Gross. I am not too equipped to handle this. I don't know how I'm going to do it when kids start getting big and "brave".

Anyways I've started to gain weight.. I'd like to blame being pregnant for it but needless to say I've started a new health regimen to keep a healthy pregnancy and make sure I don't gain 500 lbs from this. Echk. 

Other than that things are pretty easy going and life is good. 

For Baby Jax:

Week 22: This week has been pretty SIMILAR to the rest. When you kick I SMILE every time. You have started KICKING and holding it out so it feels like you're pressing really hard against me for an extended amount of TIME. NURSERY is all cleaned and ready to be FILLED! Mom and dad LOVE you more and more each day!
