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

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
