Mid-Month Confessions: February

It's that time again! Time to share all the "not so perfect" parenting moments that have happened recently! I love this link-up and the way it helps us realize that even though our Instagram reels might seem like we have it all together, we all mostly likely don't! Here are some of the "highlights" of our month so far!

- I always bring coffee in a regular mug into the car and it is always too big for the cup holder and spill. This month, I used a clean newborn diaper to soak up the spilled coffee in my car. (At least I cleaned it!)

- Speaking of the car - it is disgusting. So many sippy cups, clothes, blankets, etc. Also, I knowingly allowed leftover pizza to sit in the trunk for a few days because it has been so cold out that I knew it wouldn't start to smell.

- I very happily got to pop pimples on both my boys this month!

- After declaring my dislike for Facebook Messenger last month, I downloaded the app literally 2 days later.

- Being the wife of a teacher, I am probably MORE giddy for snow days than even he or his students are! And its currently snowing right now!!! :)

Well, that's all I've got this time. So glad so many of you resonated with my inability to brush my toddler's teeth on a regular basis. And no, we haven't improved since last month's confessions either!

    Haha! Did you hear Sarah R. Bagley and I talking about the teeth brushing on her podcast?!? ;)
    Thanks for linking up - I'm right there with you on FB Messenger - I said I wasn't going to download it and then as soon as I got my first message it just taunted me and I had to. #pushover Enjoy your snow days!!

    I cracked up at your popping pimples confessions. And snow days that mean the hubs is home is a glorious thing! Not one that I can relate to yet, but I can imagine. ;) I seriously hope you keep these posts coming- I love reading your confessions!

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 ...
