the three boys ❤
Good Sunday evening. I took a break from my daily posts yesterday because I got hit hard with a case of pregnancy heartburn. I have never had heartburn in my life, but the last 2-3 days have been a quick introduction to this new joyful pregnancy side benefit. It was pretty tough last night so I chose to attempt sleep at 9pm so I wouldn’t be aware of my discomfort. It mostly worked! I received many MANY ideas on how to combat heartburn – so if it spikes again, I’ll be sure to attempt some of those remedies. I thought pregnancy was supposed to be this joyful time of glowing and eating all the food? Not the case this round – nausea going strong at 31 weeks and now heartburn. It’s like my body doesn’t want me to eat…which I strongly rebel against.

Saturday breakfast – liege waffles (we make them at Christmas and freeze extras) and homemade whipped cream and bananas – one of my favorites!
Anyway…
One of my biggest questions marks regarding the pandemic is if school will resume as normal this fall? Let’s be clear…I was never made to be a homeschool teacher. I am sure many of you are also nodding your heads in agreement…and I’m just curious if Soren will need to start kindergarten with Mrs. Lauren Larson as his teacher. We will all need to get on our knees and pray if that’s the case!

Ok let’s recap!
How am I feeling today: Thankful that nausea and his new BFF heartburn are mostly at bay today! And I love a good weekend day because my husband handles the kids a LOT. Also it was sunny today which, as I’ve said 100 times already, helps everything.
Today’s Win: You know how everyone is like, “So what new hobbies have you discovered during quarantine?” And all the moms laugh because we have even less time to ourselves than we did before. Yeah…me too. No hobbies over here. BUT…I think today I discovered I really enjoy cutting my boys’ hair! I’ve given them haircuts on and off over the past 2 years – but I realized today that I really like doing it. I should clarify – I am not excellent at cutting hair…I literally do it super fast and totally wing it. But it’s kind of fun! And their hair grows super fast so any “oops” moments will remedy in a couple weeks.
Funny Kid Moment: Last night, we were talking about the baby and how he is still nameless. Soren…out of nowhere…says, “Hey guys! I have a great name idea. Let’s name the baby Ovaries.” How does he even know what an ovary is?! I guarantee if I asked Soren what an ovary is, he’d have no clue. I’d actually bet on it. So who knows! But in case you’re wondering, no, we are not naming baby brother, Ovary/Ovaries. Back to brainstorming…
Today’s Hero: All of you wonderful friends out there that quickly provided me with ideas to relieve intense heartburn. I love having social media to be able to quickly get a wide variety of opinions or advice…it’s so helpful!
