a week in the life {tuesday}

Today was a different day for us, as we went to Redeemer so I could substitute for the 3/4 Grade class. I brought Canon with me, but if I have to sub again, we'll definitely be dropping him off at Daycare!

7:20am - I get up and get ready for the day. I'm able to get coffee, breakfast and do a little Facebooking before Canon wakes up.

8:00am - Canon wakes up. He gets a bottle and some mashed up bananas in his high chair. I give him a bath and get him ready for the day, though I should have left him in his pajamas! By the time he goes down for his first nap, I have to change his clothes due to spit-up and drool!

8:30-9:30am - Tuesdays is when I try to give the apartment a good clean, so Canon plays on his map and in his high chair while I put away clean dishes, pick up clothes, etc. He has a great time watching the washing machine!

9:30 - 11:00am - Canon naps and I get ready for the day. I even find some time to catch up on the blogs I read.

11:00am - I have to go in and wake Canon up to give him a bottle so we can get to Redeemer on time.

11:45 - 4:15 - We're at Redeemer. I substitute in the classroom and Canon hangs out between Aaron and his secretary, Peggy. We set up his pack n' play in Aaron's office and he is able to take two short naps. It was definitely hectic, but not terrible. Aaron said he got a good idea of what its like when I am at K-Life trying to work while watching him!

4:15 - We leave and decide to go to Chick-fil-a for a reward for the looong day we've had!

5:15 - We're home and Canon gets a bottle. He's been a little fussy with his bottles recently, I think because I changed them to 'fast flow' nipples. We have to stop and burp him a lot more often or else he is a mess.

5:45 - Tired after a long day, and honestly not wanting to deal with an also tired baby, I leave for the gym! Aaron graciously takes over.

6:20 - Canon goes to sleep for the night. It is 9:00pm and we've already heard him a few times, so we'll see what kind of night it is!

6:45 to bed - I get home and it has been relaxing since! I read some blogs, made us strawberry/banana smoothies and now we're catching up on the entire Biggest Loser episode from last night.

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...
