We had a serious rain storm here this morning! Some people in our area had serious damage- and I feel terrible about that. We were lucky. At the point I took these pictures, however, I thought we were about to get pretty unlucky! I was thanking my lucky stars that we have flood insurance!
The flooding was right up to the landscaping we have around our house... it just kept creeping up further and further. Thankfully, the rain slowed down and now, only a few hours later, all the flooding is gone. Our street and yard are pretty much covered in trash... but oh well! Carson, Jet, and I all spent a little time in our bathroom while some crazy strong winds were blowing. We had a tornado warning- specifically for our neighborhood, which was crazy- and a tornado touch-down nearby, but we were safe, thank God!
While the storms raged, Carson played with his Daddy's hard hat and safety goggles...
And I know I complain that he never smiles for a picture... so I have to post a couple that he actually did smile for! He is getting so skinny... my precious little fat baby is growing up! Sob!!!
In pregnancy news... I'm getting huge! I actually intended to take a belly picture the other day and couldn't find my camera. The desire to post a picture quickly subsided when I weighed myself and found I've already gained 20 pounds! I'm six months along!!! HOLY CRAP. Four months to go!! I wasn't in a huge hurry to have a photo shoot after that... but I will take a picture the next time I actually shower and put on real clothes, because I'm sure it's only going to get worse!!!
Seriously, the "experts" say we're only supposed to gain 25-35 pounds, right?!? How is that possible, I would like to know! I'm sure there are women out there who really do only gain the "recommended" amount, but I'm also sure there are lots more women like me who gain way, way more. Last pregnancy, I stopped weighing myself when I hit 45 pounds, and that was a couple weeks before I popped. Yeah. I'm no petite pregnant lady!
I'd like to blame some of these pounds on Pinterest. Every time I look I just get super hungry and end up making some ridiculous dessert like this cake I'm lusting after... The Chocolate Overdose Cake, courtesy of Annie's Eats (my new favorite food blog).
Or this one. This Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cake is really doing it for me too. (Also Annie's Eats. This lady is about to get me into some serious trouble with my scale.)
Are you drooling yet? Me too.
Sean is super sweet (telling me I am not fat, for instance) and is super into Primal Blueprint eating so I am making healthy meals anyway. I am just craving crazy amounts of cheese and sugar and chocolate in between each protein and veggie filled meal. Oh, poo.
So, who wants cake? I am going to make a cake in the near future (possibly right now) and someone better come over and help me eat it before I go into a gestational diabetic coma, OK?
