Birthday Weekend in North Carolina

For my birthday this year, Aaron surprised me with a family photo shoot by our favorite photographer, Kevin! He booked us a time the weekend of my birthday and it was the best! We woke up early on Saturday and made the drive down to Winston, only stopping once for a long lunch at Cracker Barrel (which is a road trip must for us). We got to hang out with Kevin and Brittany for a bit at their super cute house in Winston before heading up to Pilot Mountain for our photos. They spent so much time with us and I can not wait to see how they turn out! Here are a few that he snapped at the end on his iPhone and judging by these, I know I am going to love the rest!



We spent Saturday night until Monday morning in Greensboro with Meg and Avery and their family! Meg, Chris and Avery moved back down to Wilmington about a year ago and this is the 2nd time we've seen them since. Meg's mom, Peach, was very gracious to host us and Meg's two sister's and nephew were also around for the fun time. I can't say enough about how much I love this family, they make me want to move down there and hang out all the time!
We went to the Greensboro Science Center on Sunday morning and got to see penguins, monkeys, tigers, a peacocks and pet goats and sheep! The rest of the time we spent playing with all the fun toys in the drive way. Peach and the girls even set up an Egg Hunt for the kids! So cute.











 

 




A birthday weekend filled with great friends is the BEST kind. I am SO grateful for Kevin & Brittany AND the Jones/Smiths! North Carolina is making a very strong case for itself, haha! Happy 31st to me!

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.  ...
