Mid-Month Confessions: February

It's that time again! Time to share all the "not so perfect" parenting moments that have happened recently! I love this link-up and the way it helps us realize that even though our Instagram reels might seem like we have it all together, we all mostly likely don't! Here are some of the "highlights" of our month so far!

- I always bring coffee in a regular mug into the car and it is always too big for the cup holder and spill. This month, I used a clean newborn diaper to soak up the spilled coffee in my car. (At least I cleaned it!)

- Speaking of the car - it is disgusting. So many sippy cups, clothes, blankets, etc. Also, I knowingly allowed leftover pizza to sit in the trunk for a few days because it has been so cold out that I knew it wouldn't start to smell.

- I very happily got to pop pimples on both my boys this month!

- After declaring my dislike for Facebook Messenger last month, I downloaded the app literally 2 days later.

- Being the wife of a teacher, I am probably MORE giddy for snow days than even he or his students are! And its currently snowing right now!!! :)

Well, that's all I've got this time. So glad so many of you resonated with my inability to brush my toddler's teeth on a regular basis. And no, we haven't improved since last month's confessions either!

    Haha! Did you hear Sarah R. Bagley and I talking about the teeth brushing on her podcast?!? ;)
    Thanks for linking up - I'm right there with you on FB Messenger - I said I wasn't going to download it and then as soon as I got my first message it just taunted me and I had to. #pushover Enjoy your snow days!!

    I cracked up at your popping pimples confessions. And snow days that mean the hubs is home is a glorious thing! Not one that I can relate to yet, but I can imagine. ;) I seriously hope you keep these posts coming- I love reading your confessions!

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.  ...
