a week in the life...

I've seen this series on a few blogs that I read and thought now would be a good time to do the same. Canon is 6 months today and I thought it would be fun to document what his schedule is at this age and what are life is like. I already know that this week is a particularly busy week, but that will be more fun for y'all! So, here goes!

Monday

7am - I get myself out of bed after hitting snooze a few times. I'm not sure how long Canon will stay asleep (he woke up quite a few times last night!) so I'm hoping to get at least a shower and coffee in before he wakes up. Lucky for me, I was able to get completely ready, have my coffee and breakfast and even get our dinner, Chicken Enchilada Stew, together in the crock-pot. Definitely a good start to my day!

8:10am - Canon wakes up. I go in and he is all smiles. He drinks a bottle and I get him ready for the day.

9am - We're headed to work. We have to take a lot of stuff wherever we go!


9:15-12:30 - We're at work. Canon takes a nice long nap from 9:45-11:15 while I get as much done as possible. Work lets me keep a pack n' play at the house and I bring his sound machine. Once he wakes up, I give him a bottle, then my gracious co-workers tend to entertain him while I finish things up before he gets too fussy. It takes a long time to pack everything up and get out the door and I try to do that in order to get him home for nap #2.


12:45 - 3:45 - We're at home. Canon takes another great nap from 1pm - 3pm. He wakes up, all smiles again, and drinks a bottle. We play on the couch while Ellen is on TV before it is time to head to school to pick up Aaron.


Today it snowed while we were in the house! This is the park down the street from us and I took the picture on our way to get Aaron. It looked like a blizzard about 20 minutes before this, but now you can see its all blue skies! 
 
 

4:15pm - We pick up Aaron from school. We go in and see the teacher for a little bit so they can get their baby fix. 



5:00 - 5:30pm - Canon fell asleep in the car on the way back and I put him down in the crib right when we got home, but he just cried. After some rocking and attempts at getting him back to sleep, we go ahead and give him another bottle.


6:00pm - Aaron and I eat dinner while watching Jeopardy and playing with Canon.


6:30pm - Tonight is the Lutheran Elementary School's Spelling Bee, so we get Canon in his pajamas and head down to Shepherd of the Hills school. We had 4 kids participate and though they didn't win, it was fun. Canon was great and everyone loved seeing him as usual.


8:25pm - Get home, give Canon his last bottle with the lights off, sound machine on and in he goes to sleep for the night. I watch the rest of the Bachelor and Biggest Loser.

9:15pm - I finally put in Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred and get my work-out in for the day!


10:15pm - I'll hopefully be asleep!

  1. I'm impressed. Way to go for getting your workout in and being a super mom at the same time.

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
