mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout, used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month!


- First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief.

- On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!  

- When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so it only happens about 75% of the time. On the same note, my college friends give me a hard time because we don't do a bath every night either.

- I told myself after I had the baby I'd quit sugar....yep, that was a month ago and I'm currently eating Nestle Flipz as I type.

- Since Ben has come we've started putting Canon to bed 30 minutes earlier just to give ourselves a few more minutes of quiet, not because he needs the extra sleep.

- I refuse to put the Facebook Messenger app on my phone. It just seems unreasonable to me that I need another FB app (also, all that stuff about the privacy, etc when it first came out made me not want to do it). However, I have probably 5 very legitimate messages that I need to respond to, but I never get on my computer to actually do it. Sorry friends!!

So, there ya go! My "less than perfect" life behind the screen. Feel free to link-up and share your real life confessions!

    So fun to have that little connection with both Heather and me! It really is a small world. I love your confessions - and, girl, you get a free pass for AT LEAST six weeks to eat/do whatever you want after you have a baby. I'm totally planning to milk that time for all its worth - so you eat those Flipz and enjoy! Also, we aren't good at teeth brushing either. Terrible, but true.

    Okay not gonna lie, I am super pumped about reading your confessions every month because you are so funny. I love reading your posts! And I totally agree with E- I ate WAY more after Ryan was born than I ever did when I was pregnant, so the though of cutting anything out, especially sugar, sounds like a terrible idea. But then again I'm not sure how I would get my coffee down in the morning without it considering the embarrassing amount that goes in to each cup. Pick your battles my friend. Or find a more encouraging friend- one. ;)

    Hi! Stopping by from the link-up.

    We put our son to bed early on Sundays. The best decision ever! ;)

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 ...
