17 weeks

I knew I was going to be sporadic with this, but some documenting is better than none! Here is 17 weeks, which was July 8. I had an appointment on July 10th and everything sounded great!



How far along: 17 weeks!

Baby Size: an avocado, 4.6 inches and 3.5 oz

Weight gain: +3 from my 12 week to 17 week appointments, up just 1 from my 8 week appt

Maternity clothes: ordered my first round of clothes this week - a pair of white full panel skinnies from Target, some tanks and a dress from Old Navy. I'm using the belly band still for my jeans, and am glad for the more defined shape the maternity clothes give me. 
 
Sleep: varies, some nights I go all the way through, some nights I toss and turn. 
 
Gender: appointment is scheduled for July 25th! working on the details of our reveal now

Movement: definitely, not pronounced movements, but flutters and rolls for sure

Best moment this week: seeing an actual bump and not just extra weight! 

Looking forward to: the gender reveal

Food cravings: i've been really into chicken salad recently, but nothing that i need to eat immediately 
 
  Anything making you queasy or sick: feeling so much better! 
 
Labor Signs: nope
 
What I miss: still alcohol :) 
 
Symptoms: exhuastion, going to bed early and napping as often as I can
 
Nursery: nothing new here
 
Belly Button in or out? In

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...

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 ...

Fort Wayne Fun!

To be honest, when Aaron told me we were likely moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana....I wasn't thrilled at the geographical part of that statement. I didn't know much about the midwest and thought that Fort Wayne was a tiny town with lots of cows, corn and not much else. Thankfully, I was wrong! Fort Wayne is actually awesome. There are TWO Chick-fil-a's, lots of parks and playgrounds, rivers that run through, an awesome Children's zoo and much more. Here just a quick snapshot of some of the fun we've had this summer in Indiana. Camping - friends invited Aaron and the big boys on their first overnight tent camping experience! This state park was just 45 minutes from our house. I came up with the littles, then left way late to sleep in our own beds! The next morning they got to canoe! Hiking - we had a goal of hiking each Saturday morning that was free this summer, and we succeeded twice! Once in town, and once just about an hour away. So fun to be in the ...
