Megan's Sprinkle

Megan and Lonnie are expecting their second baby on April 1st. Megan and I are really only a week apart but I my babies will be born early since they are twins. I am so excited for Megan to have a little girl and knew she was in much need of little girl clothes so I decided to throw her a surprise sprinkle while I was in town. We did a small lunch with a few of her closest friends and family and she was so surprised.  I forgot to take a picture of the desert favor but I got "sprinkled" Krispy Creme donuts for desert and they were delish. I can't wait to meet baby Bryce and let Hadley and Hudson play with her. 

Of course I had to make her a diaper cake

Three pregnant gals, you can kind of see the the pretty flowers Lonnie sent for the sprinkle

Merry Christmas 2012

We must have been good this year because Santa was very generous! This was what we woke up to Christmas morning. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas day with their families. 

I'm doing the Heisman pose because Brian wrapped my gift like a football

A Dyson! Thanks Mom & Dad!!!

I surprised Brian with a ski trip in January with his fellow residents and he is super pumped 

Christmas Night at Sara & Ryan's beautiful new home, great job Sara on hosting Christmas this year

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Christmas Eve

Early in the day on Christmas Eve we went to lunch with my Mom's side of the family. This was the only picture I got of sweet Milly and her Daddy. 

After Church the Schulz Family Christmas Eve insanity began with a few people being "Iced"

A few family pictures with Foster 

Brian likes to take his annual Christmas Picture with Foster every year in the same pose. This was the first Christmas we got him

And this is 5 years later...They both look cute as ever.

Hadley and Hudson are getting a Christmas kiss from Daddy under the kissing ball 

Joe made the trip down to Louisville from Chicago to spend the holiday with Lindsey and our family as well, hopefully we didn't scare him too much after the long weekend.

Then the Festivities of Gifts began starting out with the outrageous presents...

Adult footed PJs from his Mom and Dad and a shotgun full of tequila from my Mom

Beer cups with superhero capes from Andrew

Best Friend Hats and Awards for "Being brothers to the brilliant and magnificent Brian Schulz, M.D." from Brian

Knitted Beards and Beanies from Stephen, even Hudson got a baby beard for when he is born. 

At least its never a dull moment in this family!

The Nutcracker

We just returned from a wonderful week long trip to Louisville for Christmas. While we were there we had many fun things planned with family and friends. I have so many pictures to post from the week. One of the first evenings Nikki and I planned to take Madalyn to see the Nutcracker. Madalyn had never been to a full length live production of this scale before and it was so much fun to see her excitement and curiosity. As an added bonus My cousin was preforming and was amazing; also my aunt was able to get us front row seats. I can't wait to do fun stuff like this with my little girl in a few years. 

After the show Nikki dropped me off at the Scott's for their Christmas party

27 weeks

27 weeks photo

Picture to come soon, I just was getting a little behind on my Journals and I want to remember all the details.

How far along: 27 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 18 lbs, yeah! I'm doing good but still on the low end for twins but my Dr. is much happier now! I think its all the late night runs to Yogurtland, our new obsession. I'm going to have to eat a whole lot more though to reach my Drs. recommended target weight gain of 45-50 lbs! Yes 50 lbs, I think that is crazy.

Maternity Clothes: Pants all maternity & tops mostly but I still have several regular tops I can wear too.

Stretch Marks: no

Sleep: Sometimes, Brian got me a body pillow that is a tremendous help.

Best Moment of the week: Knowing I'm finished Christmas shopping, the car is packed, and next week is vacation. Also seeing sweet pictures of Baby Girl Lloyd (Jon's new baby, one of Brian's best friends) who was born on December 20th. 

Movement: Yes lots especially from 10pm-12:00am they are little night owls just like their moma. They can be rather feisty.

Food Cravings: Ice

Symptoms: Leg cramps, back pain 

Wedding Rings on or off: on

Looking Forward to: Going to Louisville for the week and celebrating Christmas time, seeing all my family and friends and my Louisville shower. Big week ahead little ones so please don't give me any problems!

Happy or Moody:  A little stressed, Brian says I'm the only person he knows that gets stressed out about going away, there are always just a million things to do right before a trip and then add the holidays on top of it and that equals stress, but I'm generally Happy!

Tiffany's Wedding Pictures

I never got around to posting the rest of the pictures from our vacation. Here are the photos from the wedding day and reception. We had a great time and Tiffany was a beautiful bride. Some of my favorite details from the wedding were the church bench pews, instead of chairs for the ceremony on the beach, the handmade bouttiners that Tiffany made for the groomsmen were beautiful and very shabby chic, and I also loved the glow stick send off.

Brian was jealous of Lonnie's "fit" for the wedding so he literally went out and got a bow tie for the ceremony an hour before. And I thought girls were the only ones who made last minute fashion decisions that entailed hitting a store an hour before a wedding. He did look rather handsome though.
