February Goals

As a recap, here are the goals I posted in January for the year and for maternity leave.

Schultz Family 2015 Goals
·      pay off debt
·      take a trip to New Orleans or Nebraska
·      say the Lord’s Prayer with Canon each night
·      get a minivan (okay this is more one of my goals)
·      date night 1x/month
·      read the Augsburg Confession together
·      host at our apartment 1x/month
My Maternity Leave Goals

·      enjoy the newborn/baby stage
·      get this baby sleeping mostly through the night
·      get him on a good napping schedule
·      figure out pumping at work
·      exercise 20 min every day
·      have coffee with a friend 1x/week
·      BLOG
·      do something spiritual everyday – reading, writing, praying or listening
 
The purple ones are the goals that I feel like I actually accomplished in the month of January. What was
going to be a family outing to dinner turned into a date when Canon was being a pill and we decided just
to drop him off at my moms instead! We also hosted people for the Superbowl and even though that was
technically February, I'm going to count it back. We have unfortunately not been saying the Lord's Prayer
with Canon, nor have we talked about the Augsburg Confession.  Those will be moving down to
February's list!
 
I do feel like I've been enjoying the newborn stage a bit more, especially as the countdown to going back
to work gets shorter and shorter. That's not to say I haven't gotten frustrated or the overwhelming need to
control Ben's every moment, but I think I did a good job of putting it into perspective. I've had coffee
with neighbors and friends and that has been awesome! We've also been getting out each week to chapel
at Immanuel which has been a surprising highlight of our week.  
Ben is definitely not sleeping through the night nor sleeping long for his naps - but again, perspective!
I've been slacking on the blogging, exercise and spiritual disciplines. 

February's Goals
  • complete our taxes
  • figure out pumping at work
  • date night
  • exercise 3-4x/week (this is more manageable)
  • do something spiritual every day/keep up with the Bible study I am in
  • go back to work
  • trust our daycare provider with Ben's schedule

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 ...

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.  ...
