how we found out we're having a BOY! (words, pictures and video)

I am so excited about this baby! From the beginning I knew I wanted to do something big to "reveal" the gender and I started seeing/hearing about these "Gender Reveal Parties"! My friend Susan so graciously offered to throw us one and it was amazing! I am so grateful for all our friends that made it out and for the memories that we made last night! Here is the run-down of how it all happened!

Aaron and I had my 20 week appointment Tuesday morning. We told them we did NOT want to know during the appointment. The doctor handed us a sealed envelope before we left with the gender written on the inside.

From there, I picked up my mom from the airport and we headed to Susan's house to hand over that envelope! She had already been planning for this party all week, buying fun decorations and making cute signs! She said she wasn't going to open it, but later I found out she opened it the minute we left her house!! (Her excuse, she had to call the baker to tell her what color to put on the inside!)

Then, Friday night, we all headed to Susan's for the party. She had ordered bows & mustaches for everyone to choose what they thought it would be, had a place where people could write down name suggestions (I can't wait to really read those!) and a spot to predict the gender. She made ah-mazing food and right in the middle were the cupcakes that would reveal pink or blue filling once we bit into it! I had to keep moving myself away from the cupcakes, it was making me so anxious!

Finally, the time came when we took pictures of all the "bow" people and then the "mustache" people, and as a group! Then it was time to bit into our cupcake!!!

Though everyone had their own cupcake, they waited and let Aaron and I find out first! We were both shocked! We both had been thinking girl up until that point, but it didn't matter! We are thrilled to know we are having a boy!!! It was mustaches all around for the rest of the night!!

Here are the pics! And a video at the end!



These boys are both so happy it is a BOY!

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 ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
