Sneak Peak into our photo shoot...

Thanks Lauren!  Check her out on facebook:  Designs by Difulvio...she is Awesome!

Our Ginger Child

A very talented high school student from our youth group used Isaac as a model for her senior art project.  Didn't she do an awesome job?!!!!!  LOVE IT!  Thanks Lizzie!  Her theme for her art project was on "Gingers."  For those of you who may not know, Ginger is an affectionate term for red heads.   

wondering what i've been up to?...

...well this is it, such a glamorous life

...but definitely has its rewarding moments

How exhausting the first few weeks of life are on a mommy.  I am constantly praying in the middle of the night when I hear that squeaky cry.  Time to get up again to feed...didn't I just do this?   I finally get him to sleep again and then I hear his diaper exploding.  After being changed he is wide awake, ready to party.  So I try feeding him again to calm him down and he ends up spitting up all over me.  That is when daddy comes to the rescue.  This is my typical night right now, and I am holding on to the fact that this is just a phase that will soon pass.  

It's A...

Introducing:

  Jordan Nicholas Schultz

born March 7th,2011 @7:09am

8lbs 8oz, 21 3/4inches

we thought he had red hair until after his bath... it's actually brown!

Jordan getting some Isaac loving...Isaac has been adjusting well he asks to hold Jordan every morning

Nana, Papa & Isaac decorated our door to welcome Jordan home

We are adjusting well, despite being sleep deprived.  It's amazing how you can function on such little amount of sleep.  Isaac doesn't wake up in the middle of the night when Jordan cries...such a blessing!  Jordan is typical baby...up a lot at night, last night I actually got 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep...that felt awesome!  Our parents have been such HUGE help in adjusting to being home, cooking dinner, holding Jordan while we nap, playing with Isaac...it has made our transition home so much easier.  I'm so thankful for such awesome parents! LOVE YOU!

For me journaling in the form of a prayer is both relaxing and a great way to keep me focused.  If I start to pray, I often get distracted and end up thinking about a million other things.  Here is a little excerpt from my journal today:


Day 1 of being overdue.  It's hard to wait around, I get concerned about the baby.  Is it moving enough, did my water just break?, will this contraction start labor?, what if I go into labor in the middle of the night?, What are we going to do with Isaac?  


...and then i'm reminded:


For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb.  
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.  
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.  
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  
(Psalm 139:13)


How thankful I am that You are in control, that You know the day, the hour, and are in the midst of all the details.  Thank you for this life you created and are forming.  Give me rest and peace in knowing You are in control.


My Progress:

Last night I lost my mucus plug.  However, it doesn't really mean much but at least it is progress.  If no baby by Friday I have a Ultrasound scheduled at 3pm just to check the baby out and make sure everything looks good still.  Then Monday if no baby we will talk about being induced.  Let's just pray this babe doesn't wait that long!  



PHOTOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT:


This week my assignment is "Express Yourself".   I thought what better way to express myself than to look as miserable as possible in a photo and title it "OVERDUE."   LOL

I will send a facebook message out once I head to the hospital.  After that you can follow www.schultzeetime.com for all the labor, baby momma drama.  My husband will be updating it frequently.  Love you all, thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and support!
