6 months

Welp, I'm definitly feeling LARGE!! Not necessarily my belly, but my whole body--erg! I freaked out b/c I thought I'd gained 10lbs this past month, but it was only 5...so I guess not too bad. Anyways, had an OB appt. today, and the dr. gave me a "request" for an ultrasound--NOT a referral...so we have to check with insurance to see if they'll still pay. If that goes through, then I'll have it in 2 weeks. He did tell me today though that if I was "thinning" at 39 weeks he'd induce me one week early since my babies have both been 1 week early and 8lbs...so that was nice of him. Overall, a much better experience at the OB then previous visits. Bergen is a talking up a storm. He loves his trucks...and can you believe the words that just came out of my mouth were "Bergen, we don't run with sissors"... they were kid ones anyways :) We just shaved his head--which he hates--probably b/c he's sick of people touching his head! Potty training is still going pretty good...he doesn't tell anyone when he has to pee, he just strips down... it's pretty funny! Tally is a tease. We are struggling with her a little bit and hope this is just a phase she's going through. She's a great helper and big sister when she chooses to be. I really feel badly for my mom now with the way my brother John and I were growing up... I understand now! sorry mom!

Svend is enjoying clinics. He loves wearing scrubs nearly every day--I wish! Oh wait, I could if I really wanted too... He takes boards in about 3 weeks and has been studying very hard. We know he'll do great on them. The kids have missed seeing him every day--they are asleep when he leaves and asleep or headed to bed when he gets home but it'll be worth it in the end!
