5 on Friday

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG


I'm finally linking up with some of my favorite bloggers for their 5 on Friday series. Make sure to check out A. Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm, Hello!Happiness and The Good Life Blog, they are fantastic women and I super enjoy reading about their lives.

ONE - Wednesday was The Can-Man's first birthday! I'm not even ready to talk about how this happened...where did my baby go?!? We had a great day, playing in his new water table, setting up his new car seat, eating out and he got a cupcake from Buzz to celebrate!



TWO - I know I am late to this game, but seriously. I watched the entire first and second season on Netflix last week. It is so good. Not sure I needed to rush through it considering I have to wait a whole month until Season 3, but I couldn't help myself! Aaron, however, is very glad I'm not glued to my phone anymore!



THREE - Clemson Football is BACK! To say we were excited for Saturday's Game, and WIN, against Georgia is an understatement! I can't wait to see where this team takes us this season! 




FOUR -  Have y'all heard of/done anything with MeetUp.com? I stumbled upon it somehow and am so glad! People create groups based on interests, activities, etc and set meet-up dates and events. I've joined an awesome group of local moms with babies born in 2012 and 2013 and have successfully been to two events. It has been a great way to get to know new moms in the area and we are loving getting out of the house and getting some social interaction!! You should definitely try it in your area, they have everything from mom groups to bar crawls! 



FIVE - Camp Carysbrook Alumnae Weekend (sorry for the terrible picture!) is coming up in 2 weeks. I know, I know, I'm not actually registered yet, but I am going and can't wait! This is where I spent my summers from 7th Grade til about...2 years ago, ha! I love it and I know this weekend is going to be full of fun!


Join in the fun over at one of those great ladies' blogs!

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 ...
