baby 3 update

Today I am 32 weeks! It has been a pretty great 3 months of pregnancy since Christmas. Life just kind of keeps moving as it always has. Nights of needing to rest are becoming more and more frequent, as is feeling out of breath and not being able to move as much as I want, but I know those will come to an end. My belly is feeling very tight and stretched this week and I'm remembering the words I wrote about the end of my pregnancy with Ben. That was with only 5 weeks left and I have probably 7 left with this one! 
I'll go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow and will hopefully schedule my c-section for Thursday May 18. That will be 39 weeks, so unless my body decides to make it happen earlier, that's the date! 7 weeks feels incredibly far and incredibly close at the same time. I've got my list going of what we need to do, but I also know there will be plenty of time for most of it after he comes. As long as I find a few onesies, swaddles, a car seat and swing, we'll be good! 
We're narrowed down to 2, maybe 3, names. We'll probably take them all with us to the hospital and decide there! 

Here are some pics of the pregnancy! 
January 26 - 23 weeks

March 9 - 29 weeks

March 22 - 31 weeks

We are very ready for this baby boy to join us! I am seriously so excited to have another boy in our family. We're so in the dynamic of crazy "boy" things - sword fights, wrestling, ninjas, etc, that even though it'll take 2ish years for this one to get into all that, I'm so excited. I can't wait to have a baby and be on maternity leave in the summer! Warm days of rocking and sleeping outside while the big boys run around like crazy - I know it's not actually going to be like that the whole time, but I can dream! Maybe I'll squeeze in one or two more posts before he comes, but if this is the last thing I have to look back on, I want to remember that I am SO READY for him to come and that we are all SO EXCITED to add him to our family!

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...

Lent + Availability

This morning in my devotional book, the author took the story of Abraham (almost) sacrificing Isaac and continued using the word "availability" to describe Abraham. Some excerpts... "I marvel at the faith and availability to God that Abraham shows here." "And Abraham simply obeys...trusting in the faithful love of the God who asks this of him..." "And God blesses the great availability of Abraham" I was struck by the timing of this passage coming into my life, the day after Ash Wednesday when I'm still contemplating what I will be giving up this season. I had already chosen to give up TV, for reasons such as I spend too much time watching it and not being productive. I knew giving up TV would be good for my school work, the cleanliness of my house and my relationship with Aaron. But, this morning as I was reading about the availability of Abraham, I was hit with desire for that kind of availability as well! The kind of availability that...

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 ...
