2 weeks

 

Well, I am 2 days late on this week's photo, but hopefully that won't be the pattern. Canon turned 2 weeks this past Tuesday, and it was one crazy day. My sister flew into town early in the morning, then my mom flew out that afternoon. He was a champ and did both long car rides super well. It helped that he had people doting over him the entire time! This week's picture was taken a little bit in a rush, but he has definitely gotten bigger! (don't mind that he looks purple, he has great skin in real life!) We had his 2 week appointment this past Monday. He came in at 21 1/2 inches, which is the 80th percentile and 8lbs 8.5oz, which is above birth weight and the 50th percentile. Yay! Above birth weight means I get to stop waking him up every 3 hours to eat and can let him sleep until he is hungry! On his own he is going about every 3 1/2 hours, which is awesome. We're still trying to figure out the night sleeping, when he'll give me a long stretch, yet for some reason he has a harder time falling asleep at night than during the day, but that is fine. He still hardly cries, but we've been giving him the Soothie a little more and that seems to help calm him down.

I'm looking forward to this week of "doing it on our own." I had a great time with my family and am SO glad they were here, though I know I tended to push myself with outings and socializing week 2, so I'm looking forward to a bit of a slower pace this week.

That being said, we are definitely ready for all our friends to come meet him and visit, so please come by the apartment and say hi!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

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
