a week in the life {wednesday & thursday}

Wednesday

6:20am - I get up and get ready for the day. It is SUPER early, but today I am working at St. John's Lutheran Early Learning Center and I have to be there at 8am.

7:00am - I go in and wake Canon up, give him a bottle, get him ready. He definitely could have slept more, but such is life.

7:35am - 5:00pm - Canon is at Daycare.  They tell me he did really well and was happy! He took 3 naps while he was there, ranging from 50 minutes to 1hr and 15min. Not quite as well as he does at home, but that is to be expected.

8:00am-4:00pm - I work in the 4 year-old PreK classroom at St. John's. It was super fun, again, and I am glad that I am doing it. I leave at 4:00 and go pick Aaron up from school before heading to get Canon from daycare.

5:15pm - We take a nice family walk around the neighborhood. When we get back Canon is in the same situation where he won't take a nap, but is tired, so we give him a bottle and try to keep him up until at least 6.

6:20 - bottle and bed. Earlier than we like, but he had an early morning.

6:30pm - bed - I cooked a really good dinner, Paleo Pineapple Stuffed Burgers with sweet potatoes and broccoli. I make some bananas and broccoli for Canon. We watch American Idol and head to bed.

Thursday

7:30am - Canon wakes up and I sleep until he does! He gets a bottle and a bath! He has been leaking out of his cloth diapers recently and I'm not exactly sure what to do about it. We use All-In-Ones so I don't have extra lining to put in them...I'm hoping I'm not going to have to start changing him in the middle of the night!

8:00am-9:00 - I feed Canon some bananas. We play, I try to get him to learn to sit up and do tummy time.

9:00am - 10:50am - Canon naps!! I get myself ready for the day, read some blogs and clean up a little. Then he wakes up and I feed him.

11:00am - 12:30pm - Our friend Tayler comes over and we walk to The Pioneer for lunch. It is a gorgeous day and we sit outside and eat tacos!

12:30pm - 1:30pm - Short nap. He wakes up, I try to get him to sleep more, he cries. I feed him.

2:15pm - 3:15pm - Again, a gorgeous day, so we got on a jog. I'm doing the couch-to-5k program on my phone and I'm back up to week 4. I will say, however, jogging outside, with a stroller, on a hilly trail is much harder than on a treadmill in the gym!

3:30pm - 4:15pm - Quick nap #3. Then up for a little bit snuggling with me and then a bottle.

4:15pm - 6:20pm - We play, Aaron gets home and keeps him awake until its time for bed and a bottle. I leave at 5:50 to go to a K-Life Leader Dinner. Aaron says he was pretty fussy as it was time for him to go down and I'm thinking he was probably just exhausted.

Tomorrow ends this crazy week, though I think next might be just as crazy!

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

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
