a week in the life...

I've seen this series on a few blogs that I read and thought now would be a good time to do the same. Canon is 6 months today and I thought it would be fun to document what his schedule is at this age and what are life is like. I already know that this week is a particularly busy week, but that will be more fun for y'all! So, here goes!

Monday

7am - I get myself out of bed after hitting snooze a few times. I'm not sure how long Canon will stay asleep (he woke up quite a few times last night!) so I'm hoping to get at least a shower and coffee in before he wakes up. Lucky for me, I was able to get completely ready, have my coffee and breakfast and even get our dinner, Chicken Enchilada Stew, together in the crock-pot. Definitely a good start to my day!

8:10am - Canon wakes up. I go in and he is all smiles. He drinks a bottle and I get him ready for the day.

9am - We're headed to work. We have to take a lot of stuff wherever we go!


9:15-12:30 - We're at work. Canon takes a nice long nap from 9:45-11:15 while I get as much done as possible. Work lets me keep a pack n' play at the house and I bring his sound machine. Once he wakes up, I give him a bottle, then my gracious co-workers tend to entertain him while I finish things up before he gets too fussy. It takes a long time to pack everything up and get out the door and I try to do that in order to get him home for nap #2.


12:45 - 3:45 - We're at home. Canon takes another great nap from 1pm - 3pm. He wakes up, all smiles again, and drinks a bottle. We play on the couch while Ellen is on TV before it is time to head to school to pick up Aaron.


Today it snowed while we were in the house! This is the park down the street from us and I took the picture on our way to get Aaron. It looked like a blizzard about 20 minutes before this, but now you can see its all blue skies! 
 
 

4:15pm - We pick up Aaron from school. We go in and see the teacher for a little bit so they can get their baby fix. 



5:00 - 5:30pm - Canon fell asleep in the car on the way back and I put him down in the crib right when we got home, but he just cried. After some rocking and attempts at getting him back to sleep, we go ahead and give him another bottle.


6:00pm - Aaron and I eat dinner while watching Jeopardy and playing with Canon.


6:30pm - Tonight is the Lutheran Elementary School's Spelling Bee, so we get Canon in his pajamas and head down to Shepherd of the Hills school. We had 4 kids participate and though they didn't win, it was fun. Canon was great and everyone loved seeing him as usual.


8:25pm - Get home, give Canon his last bottle with the lights off, sound machine on and in he goes to sleep for the night. I watch the rest of the Bachelor and Biggest Loser.

9:15pm - I finally put in Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred and get my work-out in for the day!


10:15pm - I'll hopefully be asleep!

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...
