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 ...

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...
