Happy Mothers' Day!

To all those mothers out there, happy you day!

And in other news, mother's day has another significance for our family; we are having another child!

Alyssa is about 17 weeks right now and the baby is due October 14th. We'll be finding out the gender June 3rd. I took my time posting it to the blog because I was telling family personally and I wanted to wait for the official announcement until we'd found out the gender, which I had thought would be at our appointment last Wednesday but apparently it's too early so I just figured I'd do it now. I hope for and think it's a girl, but I will be happy with a boy as well. Odin knows there's a baby in Mommy's tummy, and he likes to talk to it and feel her stomach. We're very excited.

Odin's swim classes have been going quite well; he loves the water and he seems natural in it (takes after his dad), and the public pool we take him too features "dive-in movies" where they play movies or cartoons on a big projector while everybody swims.

Alyssa has been busy with her 4-movement composition for her recital coming up on the 26th. (Anyone is invited if they'll be in Eugene that evening.) It's taxing because of the way her scribing program exports each individual instrument, but she'll have it done by tomorrow so they can begin rehearsals.

I've been neglecting my homework, but I managed to pass both my mid-terms so it can't be that bad.

Anyway, we're going to pick up Alyssa from her lab time in a little bit so we can all go to a mothers' day lunch. I should finish cleaning our room and Odin and I will be making her a card!
