18 weeks! Almost half way there

So I thought I'd do a little update of our lives. I have a hard time remembering who all might read this blog so I don't know where to start... I'll start with the obvious stuff. We live in St. Anthony Idaho now and John is going to school at BYU-I. He started last week and so far he's been super super busy. He's loving it though (to finally be doing math again) and we're very excited that he only has 2 more years left! John is working at lowe's in idaho falls so he's gone for most of the day which leaves me home... doing basically nothing.

 I'm 18 weeks pregnant now which is pretty great. Morning sickness has gotten a little better but is definitely not over yet. I have a feeling it won't end for me. i sometimes feel like my body is just trying to kill me. Mom says my body is just trying to get rid of that foreign object (my baby) which MY BODY created! Well jokes on you body, you can't throw up a baby, so deal with it. I basically spend my time being sick all day so I don't have much of a life. I can't wait til my little baby is here! Being a mom is all I've ever wanted to do. I started feeling the baby moving 2 weeks ago which is very cool. It makes being sick worth it to know this is really happening, we're really having a baby.

My goal of learning filipino is not going so well. My rosetta stone pooped out and doesn't work anymore. so that's on hold for a bit.

I have an odd obsession lately with Minnesota. For about a week or 2, I've been begging john to take me back to live in Minnesota. I really can't figure it out but i'm guessing it's just my pregnancy hormones. I have a very intense feeling that's kind of like home sickness. For those of you who don't know, I kind of hated Minnesota, and I couldn't wait to move here to Idaho. i probably just hated living with my in-laws (which is never a good idea). But thinking back to our long drives to church and the green fields and the humid warm summer air.... aaaahhhh... i want to move back.
