4 weeks


This kid just keeps on growing! We were at the doctor (again) this past Monday for our One Month Check-up and he weighed in at 9lbs 10oz. That means he has gained over 1/2 a pound in one week! Way to go buddy. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and at 22 inches, the 75th for height. But can we please back track to the fact that our One Month Check-up has come and gone? I can't believe it. It feels like it has gone by so quickly and like he has been here for way longer than just one month. I even find it hard to think back to those first few nights at home with him, they seem like forever ago!
He is still super easy going and calm, but he has found his voice and we are hearing it more and more often! He lets us know when he is not happy, but most of the time he is content to just be wherever. We're still figuring out how long and when is best for him to be awake during the day and continuously praying for long sleeps at night. He tends to make a lot of noises and move around while he is sleeping, which of course wakes me up and gets me nervous, so I'm thinking we'll be putting his crib together here pretty soon. We had a few first this week, like sleeping in his bassinet without being swaddled and just hanging out wide awake in his bassinet while Aaron and I got ready for church this past Sunday.
I'm looking forward to getting to interact with him more over the next few weeks and will be waiting intently for that first "social smile!"

We've also had a ton of family in town this past week so I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of all the events!

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.  ...
