On April 24th after 17 hours of labor and 17 minutes of pushing, Madison 'Madi' Hope Schultz joined our family. She weighed 7lbs. 4oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has a head full of dark brown hair and is BEAUTIFUL! I am pretty wiped out but recovering well and we are grateful for how the Lord sustained me through a tough day and so thankful for our beautiful daughter!

Induction Update
Hello friends and family, so this morning at 6:30am we called the hospital to see if we would be able to come in for our induction. AND... we got bumped.
SO, what this means is that we are not going in for our induction until Sunday at 7:30am (1 week after the due date, just FYI). If we go into natural labor then we will, of course, go right in. And our doctor is GREAT and is going to do her best to get us in during the next few days if at all possible.
So, there you have it. Still waiting. It's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us and we are ready to meet our little girl.
We will keep you in the loop. Pin It

No Baby Yet
So, I think that my children would rather stay in the womb than ever come out. Avery was 12 days late and I have a hunch that #2 will hang out until after the due date as well. TOMORROW is the due date and so I am trying to do things to get my mind off being huge and pregnant.
We have scheduled an induction for this coming Wednesday (April 21) and so are thankful to at least see the end in sight. Would you please pray for us? Here are a couple of things you can pray...
~ Hopeful endurance as I wait (and that I wouldn't get discouraged with STILL being pregnant)
~ That God would take away any fear I have about labor
~ That if we have to be induced, for the labor to move quickly and smoothly
~ For the IV to go in on the FIRST try this time (it took them 7 tries with Avery) :)
~ For the baby to be healthy throughout the whole labor & delivery process
~ Lastly, that Jesus would bless our family with joy and peace as we add a new addition to our family
Thank you. We are BLESSED by our friends and family! YOU! Pin It

Sweet Moments
I am trying to take in every moment I have with Avery before her little sister comes. She has been such a sweet girl and we have really enjoyed time together (for the most part) and I sure LOVE her. It will be pretty cool to see how Jesus develops a love for our second daughter in my heart too... I'm excited for that. But, for now, I am enjoying my one sweet girl... I CHERISH HER!

Easter '10
We had a great Easter this year! It was the first time in YEARS that we had my sister and I with my parents together for Easter. Everything was so great (although the kids had their moments of insanity)... church was so powerful, we had an off-the-charts yummy meal, and the kids went crazy for the easter egg hunt.
I will say that trying to get a picture of Avery all dressed up was terrible... she LOST it... followed by me losing it. :)

Eggs and Cookies
We had the kids over before Easter to decorate eggs & make some cookies. It was a blast! The girls LOVED coloring on the eggs and when we were making cookies, I think Avery enjoyed eating the dough as much as anything else!

9 Days Left
So, I am nine days away from the due date and boy am I ready! Although it's still depressing when I get questions like I did the other day from a woman at the store... "Oh! You must be having twins!" Classic. It was hard to hold my tongue from thanking her from telling me I look fat. HA!
I am having a lot of contractions these days and the baby has dropped enough that I can barely walk without it feeling like my hips are going to break apart. So, the countdown continues, although it still feels like every day is incredibly long as we wait. We will keep you all in the loop! Can't wait to miss this little girl! Pin It
