5 months

Svend has no interest in taking pictures... so he wouldnt' take the time for me to smile or turn sideways so I could get a real belly shot! Oh well, I still love him. So here's me at 5 months-- 20 weeks! Hopefully after my appointment today I'll get an ultrasound set up so we can find out what this little gymnist is going to be! Svend felt him/her for the first time yesterday (finally had the patience to wait). Anyways, we both agree it's not as exciting the 3rd time around, but still a good experience! Mother's day this year was different from every other day for the most part! Svend and Tally made breakfast and Tally actually understood somewhat that it was a special day for moms. She sang in sacrament though she totally made up her own words b/c she refused to practice it with me and told me I'd hear it in church! She made me two presents. The "icecream sundae" is a little bath-soap treat we made for primary activity day yesterday. She had me help her, but when it was time to put it in the bag she said, "don't look mom." Then the book mark was from School. Here's the back side: (she drew a pic of me and svend) and here's the front: (her fingerprints are lady bugs)

After church, Svend had to leave to study-- finals this week and boards in a month and a half-- so it was a wonderful mother's day morning and the kids were as good as can be expected for the afternoon and evening. I love my babies (and husband) so much! They are the greatest blessing in my life!

Happy mother's day to all moms, daughters, sisters, and WOMEN!
