Bumpdate: 21 weeks

Happy Mother's Day! It's the first year that I received a little gift from Ryan. 

Ryan and I had the privilege to speak in church today about mothers and I was lucky to have my mom come listen. I learned a lot about parenting in the gospel as I prepared my talk. I mostly enjoyed listening to Ryan speak on the subject. He shared with the congregation the good memories he's had with his mother and made us all chuckle. He also shared some things about parenthood that I otherwise would not have heard him say. It made me realize that I am very lucky to have him as my partner. I know that he's going to be a thoughtful parent. 

It was a pretty awesome day at church. All of us ladies received chocolate cupcakes once Sacrament meeting was over and those of us who serve in the Primary took a break and had lunch with the rest of the ladies in Relief Society. Yeah, the Bishop's wife prepared a bunch of food for us! Hands down the best Mother's Day.
