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

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.  ...
