mid-week confessions

Even though I've already posted once today about Canon's 11th & 12th weeks, I thought I'd make a few confessions. (check out emyselfandi.com for the link)

* I haven't done my couch to 5k run in 2 weeks. This needs to change.

* I try not to let myself look at Facebook, Instagram or my Blog Reader until I am nursing so I have enough to entertain me for 30-40 minutes.

* I love Instagram. However, I tend to only use 2 filters over and over.

* I have also started rewatching Season 1 of Parenthood and find the best time to get a good episode in is while I'm nursing.

*Sometimes I wonder if I'm too distracted while nursing.

* I confessed this outloud to a mom (whom I had just met) at Thanksgiving and she agreed, so I'll confess it to the world. As a mom, there is something satisfying about picking boogers out of your child's nose, or earwax out of his ear, or lint between his toes, etc. Don't judge me, you know you all do it!

Alright, I think that is enough embarrassing mom-isms for today. Am I crazy for the last one, or do you other moms feel the same way? Anyone else have something embarrassing they'd like to confess?

an exciting list

Now that we've had some time to settle in, we've begun to discover some of our favorite spots as well as get excited for new ones. Here is a list of things we're really excited about for our new life in Denver. First of all, sports. One of the big draws to Denver for Aaron was the professional and college sports that are in abudance here. We're especially looking forward to the Rockies vs. Giants games in September, heading up to Boulder for some CU Football and walking over to DU for their lacrosse and ice hockey games. We're also pretty pumped about going out to the new Lutheran High School on Friday nights to watch their football games! I'm trying to convince Aaron to start coaching so we can live out Friday Night Lights . We've also been introduced to a few great areas thanks to some friends we've made so far! We heard a lot about Washington Park before we moved here, so we've been up a few times to walk around at dusk. Its seriously gor...

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 ...

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...
