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 ...

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.  ...
