Introducing...


Canon Andrew Schultz

We are SO glad he is finally here! It was a long wait, but totally worth it! So far he has been a dream. He is super calm and laid back and sleeps a lot! A little about his name...we picked it out months ago. The Canon, which is a term to describe the books that are accepted as Scripture, is a term that I've heard over the years in classes and I always just loved it. When I offered it up to Aaron, he agreed! We love that it is biblical, but not. Aaron keeps saying he expects two things from him - 1) that he will be founded in the Lord and 2) that he'll have a "canon" of an arm!! 
We thank you all for bearing with us as we kept it a secret and for the encouraging words we've heard about it so far. I can't wait to see who "Can-the-Man" will grow up to be!
I'll be back on Tuesday/Wednesday with a 1 week update and hopefully get our birth story written out in the near future as well. But, for now, just a few pictures of his first days!


 5:45am Tuesday morning, headed to the hospital!


 
9:45pm Tuesday night, meeting MoMo (my mom) for the first time! 
Welcome to the world!

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 ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine.      Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!   Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly.  Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready.  ...
