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 ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
