Ben - 3 months







Weight: I'm going to guess around 15 lbs

Eating: Mainly mama's milk! On weekdays when he is in daycare he nurses at 7am, and gets 2 bottles of breastmilk at 10am and 1pm. He gets a bottle of formula at 4pm, then I nurse him again around 7pm for bed. His bottles at daycare are 5oz. He still eats twice a night :(

Sleeping: We've been changing things a lot, but I think we've finally found our consistent nighttime routine! He is back in our room for now, in the pack n' play. I nurse him around 7:00/7:30pm and he's asleep by 8:20. He wakes up anytime between 12:30 and 3:00am to eat and then again about 2.5 hours later. However, he has started sleeping through in between those feedings, so I'm okay with it! He takes 4 naps, 9am, 11am 1:30ish and then 4:30 when we leave daycare. 

Clothes: Some 3-6 months, but more and more the 6 month! 

Likes: People! Smiling and laughing, blowing bubbles, talking!! Saying "ohhhhh" a lot! 

Dislikes: The car. 

Doing: This month was daycare! He is going really well there, taking 3 naps during the day. We went out to dinner at Los Tios twice in one week and he did great. Came car shopping with me and my mom, had a play date with Susan and David Robert and spent lots of time at church! 

On Managing Two: Certain things have gotten easier - like managing the evening hours and getting out with both of them alone. They continue to interact and pay more attention to each other!   

Myself: Getting into a groove with work has been challenging and good. The hardest part is getting out the door in the mornings! There are so many bags! I'm working on getting more done at night to make it easier for me in the morning. Now that it is warm I'm hoping to start getting more exercise and I'm trying to remember we have a beach trip planned for the end of May that I want to feel good about. Taking care of my skin definitely makes me want to take care of the rest of my body! I love, love, love my family and really look forward to the time we all get to spend together!

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 ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
