MN weekend and week 23

We had a very busy but very fun weekend!!  Andy was asked to be a groomsman in Jake Girtz's wedding.  Andy has known Jake since high school and we saw Jake and his now wife Christa often when we lived in MN.  Jake was also a groomsman at our wedding in Mexico.  We were so excited to be a part of their wedding!  Of course we had to take advantage of our weekend home so we tried to fit as much in and see as many people as possible. 
At the Girtz wedding reception.  23 weeks
I was also fortunate enough to have my first baby shower the morning of the wedding.  My sisters Greta and Gabrielle threw me a fabulous shower!  Thank you to everyone that could make it.  It was great to chat with everyone.  Mayhem is already very loved and VERY spoiled :)  I am loving the daily packages on the front step!
I'm a shower newbie so we just have candid photos.  This is the best bump picture I have for week 23...
Just a taste of our weekend schedule.  Landed at MSP at 9pm on Thursday.  Grandma and Grandpa were taking care of Owen and Avery so we had an early wakeup call and cuddles from them, drove down to St. Peter to have lunch with my parents.  Drove back up to Blaine for the rehearsal and dinner.  Another early morning on Saturday with my shower from 9-noon in St. Paul and then the wedding at 2pm in Blaine.  We stayed over after the reception and then met Greta, Nate and Gabrielle for lunch in Minneapolis on Sunday, stopped over at Tom and Emmy's in Savage for a visit and then back to Rosemount for an early dinner before a 7pm flight back to SLC.  Whew!  Like I said, very busy but very fun :)

Not too much new in the baby world.  Mayhem is moving a bunch and I'm getting bigger.  Definitely gaining some more weight a little quicker than the first 20 weeks.  I'm still in my regular pants with a little help from a jimmy rigged hair elastic.  I tried the belly band for awhile but wasn't a big fan and haven't found any maternity pants that I like or that fit.  A shopping trip is in the works for this weekend.  Got the yellow curtains for the baby room and they look great! (Pictures next week) Gabrielle got all crafty and made some artwork for Mayhem which will look so perfect.  You can kind of see it in the shower pic.  We've got a Halloween party on Saturday and I'm having some people over to decorate sugar cookies on Sunday so another busy weekend. 

Till next week!
Love,
Lexi and Andy
