3 weeks


I can definitely tell that he has gotten bigger this week! I see it mostly in his head, feeling the weight of it when I pick him up and also seeing those cheeks fill in! We happened to be at the pediatrician today and he weighed in at 9lbs even! That is a gain of 1/2 a pound in a week! We're so proud.

We were on our own starting last Thursday and I have to say it went well! We took it really easy Friday and Saturday and he stayed strong in his 3-31/2 hour period between feedings. We took him to church for the first time on Sunday and we even went to work for about 2 hours on Monday! We did have a really rough night on Sunday, waking up every hour and being super restless in his swaddle, but I'm hopeful that was just a one night situation. Last night was better, with about 2 1/2 hours in between each feeding, so I'm hoping he'll be back on track tonight.

We were super spoiled the first 3 weeks when he literally slept and ate the entire time. Now he is starting to "wake up" a little more. I admit, it is a little bit of an adjustment for me since I had been expecting him to just go right back to sleep, but I'm working on it. My sister recommended us reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" so I've been really uptight about the amount of sleep he should be getting. Hopefully as he begins to be awake more and more over the next months I'll be able to roll with it.

I can't believe that in just one week he'll be 4 weeks, and that next Thursday he'll be one month! It seems like it has gone by so quickly, yet its been so long at the same time. You understand.

This coming week is a big one! Aaron's parents, aunt, cousin, sister and her baby all fly in on Thursday. They are all here until Monday, with Aaron's mom staying til the following Thursday. My dad is also coming in on Saturday because on Sunday we're getting Canon baptized! So, lots of people and lots of fun things happening. I'll definitely have more pictures for next week.

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
