20 weeks!

This past Saturday marked 20 weeks of pregnancy DONE! Can't you hear it...."Ohhhhhh we're half way there whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer!" I'm feeling pretty good and even though I've gotten most of my energy back, there are still nights when I'm almost falling asleep in my dinner! I have 4 weeks of school left (YAY!) and then I can focus on growing this baby! We go for our anatomy ultrasound tomorrow when they should be able to tell if it is a girl or boy! We're having the doctor write it down and waiting until Friday night when my great friend Susan is hosting a "Gender Reveal" Party for us! I'm giving her the paper and she's getting a cake made that will reveal blue or pink when we cut into it. I can't wait! It is going to be a loooon few days between Tuesday morning and Friday night! Pictures of that will definitely be up Saturday!


In other news, our favorite San Francisco Giants came to Colorado to play the Rockies last week. We got tickets months ago and have been counting down to the beginning of baseball season!


Y'all know about my obsession with Brian Wilson from this post. We got there early enough to see both teams warm up, but a huge thunderstorm came through right as the Giants were getting started. Brian and one other pitcher stayed out on the field, so I got lots of great photos!


We also got our (almost) 20 week belly shot! 

And some of y'all will be excited to know that Tyler Colvin, a Clemson baseball alum, is playing for the Colorado Rockies. So even though I was cheering for the Giants, I was glad when #21 got some hits. He is actually doing really, really well, so go check him out! 



We also went out dinner last night to celebrate 20 weeks. We stumbled upon "Max's Gill and Grill" and I was a super happy girl. When I saw "North Carolina Style Pulled Pork" I was convinced. Start to finish, I indulged myself in good southern food. Steamed shrimp as an appetizer, pulled pork with cornbread and I ended the night with pecan pie! It was definitely the best meal I've had in Denver! If you are in Denver and reading this, I would definitely recommend it. (Aaron got the trout and the prime rib and loved both)

Stay tuned for pictures from our "Gender Reveal" party!! What do you think it'll be, boy or girl?

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 ...
