Ben's turns 1!

Oh, Ben. I can't believe you have been with us for a whole year now! You have made our family more complete and I can't ever imagine a time when you weren't here! From the beginning you have been a super happy, easy going, laid back baby. Thank you! While its not always easy being the younger brother, you don't ever seem to mind! You love Canon and always want to do whatever it is he is doing! You were our chunky baby and have grow into a big toddler, weighing in at about 25 lbs. You are wearing mostly 18 month clothes and mama has even gotten to buy some new ones since our seasons for hand me downs are off now :) You share a room with Canon and still sleep in your pack n' play (on an extra 3" mattress we bought when you were a baby!). You are also our early riser and recently we can hear you pushing and pulling at the rails at 5:30am. You've started walking a bit and now whenever we try to carry you somewhere you insist on being put down, holding onto one hand and doing it yourself! You started out as a great eater and have gotten a little more picky this month. Your favorites are crackers, bananas, pouches and cereal. You love to be thrown in the air, or dipped upside down and you always giggle! Your new favorite thing is to wrestle with Canon and Daddy! Your nicknames include Benj, Benji and Benito. We are so glad the Lord blessed us with you and I can't wait to see what the next year holds! Love you baby Ben!

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.  ...
