5 on Friday + Favorites

Wow, I am so happy today is Friday! Lots to share today! Here are a few things I am loving lately.
 
1.  My fitbit! More specifically, my workweek hustle challenge group. I am in a group with former and current Camp Carysbrook staff members...and most of them happen to still be in college. Which means while I am sitting behind my desk at work, they are traipsing to and from class on huge campuses! I've been super inspired to get up and get moving, meet my step goal and start running more often just to keep up. One of these days, I will win! 

 

2. Reminiscing over old posts. Timehop gets me everytime! 
 
Day in the Life post from when he was 6 months old. 
It goes by so fast!!! 
 
3. Rodan + Fields Foaming Sunless Tanner! Last weekend it was 60 degrees and I busted out the Sunless Tanner when I got home from church. Having a little bit of color on my legs makes me feel so much better and this is the easiest product to apply! I have a feeling "Sunday Sunless Tanner" is now a thing!
 
4. The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey podcast. While I've been walking and running, this is my companion. Jamie does a great job of not just interviewing her guests, but really inviting the listener into a real conversation! Her guests include women bloggers, entrepreneurs, authors, ministers and more. I always end up inspired and encouraged! You should definitely listen. 
 
5. Goal setting with Elizabeth and Sarah. It has been 3 months now that I have consistently set and achieved goals and I am so glad for their monthly link-up. March always seems to be a "wake-up" month for me. Spring is coming, days are longer, the air is warmer and I can feel the hope and anticipation of this new season. It was March of last year that I joined Rodan+Fields and upon my one-year anniversary I am more committed than ever to this awesome opportunity!

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 ...
