Hey it's Mothers Day!

Well not a whole lot has happened since my last post. Just same old life. We were able to take a nice break on a Saturday and go to the beach with friends. We really are spoiled to live here!

It was nice to get out and do something fun. I feel like all we do it work, work, work. Weekends are my favorite! It was a little breezy and chilly, but we still managed to get sunburned. You'd think after 28 years of living that I would learn. Oh well. Luckily I am still able to fit into my swimsuit. You sure could tell that I had a belly going on. We had to get a swimuit shot (sunburn and all) when we got home. Please excuse the weird face (sadly this was the best one we got. Haha.)

I feel like my belly isn't really growing that much. Everyone is SO surprised when I tell them that I am around 5 months. "You are so small! Are you eating?!" No, I like to occassionally starve myself. I am waiting for the day for my belly to just freakishly pop out like crazy. It fluctuates. Some days you can really tell, others it's back to flat.


Mothers Day was so fun. This was the first year that I could actually kind of celebrate it. I got a sweet card in the mail from a family friend for being a Mother-To-Be. I didn't even know they made cards like that. It was a fun surprise.
That morning after I was ready for church, I came down to this:

My husband is the best. I love him so much!
Church was so nice. For the first time I didn't feel awkward getting the little 'gift' they give you. I always felt stupid when they give you one and you aren't even a mom yet.
During the 3rd hour we had a luncheon in the Cultural Hall with all the women and a special lesson. It was fun to meet new people and EAT!
After church we took our scenic route Pacific Coast Highway home. It's so fun that we can go that way home from church. I love just driving by the ocean and not even feeling obligated to stop.
After coming home and passing out on the couch for a while, we went up to our community pool. It was perfect and barren. I thought there would be a lot of people there. But we had the whole place to ourselves! Well except for these guys:

The pool was too cold to swim in. So we mainly just sat in the chairs and enjoyed the sunshine.

Baby still has been kicking like crazy! Cory has been able to put his hand on my belly and feel it. It's so amazing and weird to experience that!

Well tonight we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I am SO anxious. We are both so excited. Here's hoping our little baby isn't modest at our appointment!
