Thanksgiving 2014

Well, I'm 38 weeks preggo and instead of boring you with how ready I am my body is to have this baby, I'll post our Thanksgiving recap instead! That is much more fun. But just in case you were actually wondering, this baby is welcome to make his appearance any day now for the love of my hips, shoulders, stomach and sleep!

We celebrated Thanksgiving at my mom's house with my sister, her 2 kids, and our friends Chris, Meg & Avery. Amanda and her boys, Cole & Wes, came up Tuesday night and Wednesday was Wes's 1st Birthday! Canon and I grabbed some cupcakes for the sweet boy to celebrate with that evening. And wouldn't you know, I even brought over the big camera! (though, it is still sitting on the table, so a picture of a good picture will have to do for now)


I was really excited for Canon to get to hang out with his cousins, so that was the focus of our days, other than eating of course! 


MoMo gifted the boys with matching PJ's - one set they put on that night, the other is saved for Christmas Eve




On Friday evening we went to the lighting of the Alexandria Christmas Tree in Old Town and met Santa! Well, Cole met Santa, Canon was not as excited. He did love that light saber though! 


I was very impressed by Santa and Mrs. Claus! Obviously real looking and the lighting for the outdoor shots was awesome.

Looking forward to prepping Canon some more and hoping to get another visit with Santa before the season ends! 


And a few other random shots from the weekend:

We installed the infant car seat! It's getting real y'all!! 

I love watching him play!

Posing on Thanksgiving Day because I LOVED his outfit


I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with family, friends and joy like ours!

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 ...
