Canon's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe I have a 2 year old! As I sat rocking him last Wednesday night, his last night as a 1 year old, with his legs draped across my lap, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the hours I've spent rocking him in that same chair over the last 2 years. From swaddle, to sleep sack, to PJs and now even sometimes with tennis shoes on, he's grown so much since then! I've said it multiple times, the physical changes that have happened over this year have been harder on me than the previous one's. There is little baby left in my sweet boy, exchanged for a rowdy, wild, sometimes stubborn toddler who loves people, an audience and anything that he can throw! Aaron and I joke that the parenting part of this whole journey is really just now beginning and I'm excited to see what will happen this upcoming year.











For his actual birthday, we started the morning with coffee & breakfast with our favorite neighbors, Meg and Avery. Canon and I played on the playground a bit, I took him by Aaron's school to see his new class, then dropped him at daycare so I could work a bit. I picked him up in the afternoon and after playing at the playground some more, MoMo came over! She brought lots of play food for his new kitchen that we picked up from ILS and then we headed to her house for dinner and a sleepover.

Lest you think we didn't do anything exciting for his big day, we are hosting a Birthday Party/Flag Football Game this weekend to celebrate and I'm sure he will be delighted to entertain all the friends that are coming!

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.  ...
