28 Weeks - Hello 3rd Trimester!

Wow, the past 15 weeks have really flown by. I'm glad that I feel like I made it until about 24 weeks until the bump was pretty big - but now it is clearly there! I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now, which was also a shock when they told me. That can only mean that we don't have too much longer!! (84 days to be exact)



How far along: 28 weeks!

Weight gain: +14

Maternity clothes: allll maternity - loving my full panel pants! 
 
Sleep: potty break at least once through the night 
 
Gender: BOY!

Movement: yep! I feel him all the time actually, especially at night, and Aaron has even begun to be able to feel him with his hands

Best moment this week: well, in the last 4 weeks....starting Bible study and getting Canon to finally sleep in his toddler bed

Looking forward to: counting down the days, its getting so close!

Food cravings: nothing specifically, but I am hungry all.the.time. He has got be going through a growthspurt
 
  Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

I've been telling people recently that I'd much rather have a newborn than go through the last 3 months of pregnancy because the bump is really starting to weigh on me - figuratively and literally. So I'm hoping to find a way to enjoy these last months!

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 ...
