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!

an exciting list

Now that we've had some time to settle in, we've begun to discover some of our favorite spots as well as get excited for new ones. Here is a list of things we're really excited about for our new life in Denver. First of all, sports. One of the big draws to Denver for Aaron was the professional and college sports that are in abudance here. We're especially looking forward to the Rockies vs. Giants games in September, heading up to Boulder for some CU Football and walking over to DU for their lacrosse and ice hockey games. We're also pretty pumped about going out to the new Lutheran High School on Friday nights to watch their football games! I'm trying to convince Aaron to start coaching so we can live out Friday Night Lights .   We've also been introduced to a few great areas thanks to some friends we've made so far! We heard a lot about Washington Park before we moved here, so we've been up a few times to walk around at dusk. Its seriously gor...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...

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 ...
