13 weeks

Canon has a lot of reading to do before December! 
I was so excited to finally announce to the social media world last night that we are expecting baby #2. I knew almost immediately that I was pregnant, though it took a while for that second line to show up on a test! My own mother didn't believe me until I went and had a blood test done! We told our parents and siblings almost immediately. Our initial plan was to tell our works at 8 weeks, then everyone else after the 12 week appointment. However, I was seeing lots of college friends right after my initial 8 week appointment, so I had to tell them in person. I also didn't try very hard to disguise that I wasn't drinking, so between a big Easter party and a wedding shower we threw, most friends up here figured it out quickly. Aaron also had a hard time not telling people. First it was just his 6th grade girls, then he "accidentally" told a few parents, then some moms in the church nursery....and well by our 12 week appointment it felt like everyone knew! But I knew I wanted to do something cute to capture all the excitement we've been feeling over the past 3 months and I'm so glad this sweet picture of big brother Canon turned out. I'm hoping to document this pregnancy, so I've borrowed a little update list from Carolina Charm and A. Liz Adventures, whose pregnancies and now sweet babies I followed very closely! It may not be every week, and it may or may not include a photo of me, but its something! This is from last week, as I am currently 14 weeks. 
Also, thanks to all of you who liked and commented on IG and FB last night/this morning! We really are so excited!!! 

How far along: 13 weeks!

Baby Size: a pea pod, 3 inches and almost 1 ounce

Weight gain: -2.5!! (from my 7 week appt to my 12 week appt)

Maternity clothes: not yet, surprisingly
 
Sleep: varies, some nights I go all the way through, some nights I toss and turn. 
 
Gender: 6-8 more weeks til we know this one

Movement: not yet

Best moment this week: hearing the heartbeat last Friday and announcing it at church on Sunday

Looking forward to: telling everyone!

Food cravings: breakfast immediately upon waking up to curb the nausea 
 
  Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing specific, but I definitely feel it most in the morning and evenings
 
Labor Signs: nope
 
What I miss: definitely alcohol, especially now that the weather is nice and we've been celebrating the end of the school year with many outside parties
 
Symptoms: exhuastion, going to bed early and napping as often as I can and more "morning sickness" than I had with Canon. Also, pregnancy brain - realizing this week that I'm going to have to start triple checking my work after I made a few mistakes last week.
 
Nursery: I got our Rock N Play back from my sister, does that count?
 
Belly Button in or out? In  

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Mood: tired, but glad we're out in the open now

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
