17 weeks

I knew I was going to be sporadic with this, but some documenting is better than none! Here is 17 weeks, which was July 8. I had an appointment on July 10th and everything sounded great!



How far along: 17 weeks!

Baby Size: an avocado, 4.6 inches and 3.5 oz

Weight gain: +3 from my 12 week to 17 week appointments, up just 1 from my 8 week appt

Maternity clothes: ordered my first round of clothes this week - a pair of white full panel skinnies from Target, some tanks and a dress from Old Navy. I'm using the belly band still for my jeans, and am glad for the more defined shape the maternity clothes give me. 
 
Sleep: varies, some nights I go all the way through, some nights I toss and turn. 
 
Gender: appointment is scheduled for July 25th! working on the details of our reveal now

Movement: definitely, not pronounced movements, but flutters and rolls for sure

Best moment this week: seeing an actual bump and not just extra weight! 

Looking forward to: the gender reveal

Food cravings: i've been really into chicken salad recently, but nothing that i need to eat immediately 
 
  Anything making you queasy or sick: feeling so much better! 
 
Labor Signs: nope
 
What I miss: still alcohol :) 
 
Symptoms: exhuastion, going to bed early and napping as often as I can
 
Nursery: nothing new here
 
Belly Button in or out? In  

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Mood: happy!

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.  ...
