1 week


Yep, I'm also copying the Weekly Photo Project from one of my favorite blogs, YoungHouseLove. Each week, I hope to take a photo of little man in a white onesie (the same one if I can remember) with a fun fabric behind him. Hopefully this will let us see how big he is getting! This week's "fabric" is a blanket that was made for Canon by a great friend of mine from Clemson. We absolutely love it. Thanks Lauren!

This first week has been really slow and really fast all at the same time! I can't believe that this time last week he was still inside me! So far, he has been super easy. The first two nights at home he had some fits that took a little while to settle down, but since then, the last 3 nights, have been great. He sleeps most of the day and night and we're at the point that we're trying to keep him up a little during the day and trying to get some good 4+ hour stretches at night. Got to start those patterns early!

I'm feeling good, though I tend to fall apart when the sun goes down. I think the exhaustion of the day and the anxiety of the upcoming evening catch up to me and I just need a good 5 minute cry. Then, I'm good to go! My mom has been here and has been a HUGE help. I can't even begin to think about what we are going to do when she is gone! Not only has she been helping me take care of Canon, she has been cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry and just taking care of me. Love you MoMo!

Aaron has also been doing a great job. Y'all, seriously. He took an entire week off school to be with us, even though school is little crazy right now. He has had some serious principal things come up this week, along with planning a softball tournament, along with having a new baby and an emotional wife, and has been doing it all. If you think of him, pray that he'll continue to be able to balance all the things that are going on in his life right now! 

I'm hoping for the next week that we'll continue this to have a sweet, calm, peaceful little boy and that we'll be able to keep those longer stretches of sleep at night!

Well, Daddy is home!!!!!!!!!!

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...
