B+ Goals for January

Happy New Year! 'Tis the season of fresh starts, goals and resolutions! I read a lot of blogs and I've very much enjoyed reading everyone's goals and/or resolutions over the last week or so. Honestly, getting to hear other women's hearts about motherhood, working, spiritual life, etc has helped me brainstorm and process the kind of things I'd like to see happen in 2016. That and a good old fashioned date night in which the hubby and I discussed our own personal goals and dreams. We didn't go out on NYE, but we did go out on New Year's Day evening and I think I see a tradition forming. It was so nice.

This year I'd like to focus on just two areas:

Physical Health

Spiritual Health

I know that by making small steps to improving these two areas, my entire life will improved and I am excited! What I love about Elizabeth and Sarah's B+ Goals is to keep them attainable, but also allow grace and that no matter what, done is better than perfect.

January Physical Health Goals: I got a fitbit HR for Christmas which has really kicked off these goals, I love that I can easily see how many calories/steps/miles, etc so easily!

* hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work)

* track my food

January Spiritual Health Goals:

* read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman

* start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App

That's it! Totally do-able and I'm really looking forward to coming back in February and celebrating that I've met them!

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 ...

We'll Be In Touch
