baby 3 update

Today I am 32 weeks! It has been a pretty great 3 months of pregnancy since Christmas. Life just kind of keeps moving as it always has. Nights of needing to rest are becoming more and more frequent, as is feeling out of breath and not being able to move as much as I want, but I know those will come to an end. My belly is feeling very tight and stretched this week and I'm remembering the words I wrote about the end of my pregnancy with Ben. That was with only 5 weeks left and I have probably 7 left with this one! 
I'll go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow and will hopefully schedule my c-section for Thursday May 18. That will be 39 weeks, so unless my body decides to make it happen earlier, that's the date! 7 weeks feels incredibly far and incredibly close at the same time. I've got my list going of what we need to do, but I also know there will be plenty of time for most of it after he comes. As long as I find a few onesies, swaddles, a car seat and swing, we'll be good! 
We're narrowed down to 2, maybe 3, names. We'll probably take them all with us to the hospital and decide there! 

Here are some pics of the pregnancy! 
January 26 - 23 weeks

March 9 - 29 weeks

March 22 - 31 weeks

We are very ready for this baby boy to join us! I am seriously so excited to have another boy in our family. We're so in the dynamic of crazy "boy" things - sword fights, wrestling, ninjas, etc, that even though it'll take 2ish years for this one to get into all that, I'm so excited. I can't wait to have a baby and be on maternity leave in the summer! Warm days of rocking and sleeping outside while the big boys run around like crazy - I know it's not actually going to be like that the whole time, but I can dream! Maybe I'll squeeze in one or two more posts before he comes, but if this is the last thing I have to look back on, I want to remember that I am SO READY for him to come and that we are all SO EXCITED to add him to our family!

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...
