Well if you have been wondering where I have been, I apologize. Life is beyond hectic and I am trying to keep it all together. Well as you all know Faye hit us pretty hard. There was massive flooding and unfortunately we were affected. The house we were living in was destroyed. Completely unlivable. Thank God we were only renting. So we had to move immediately to try to salvage our things. Some stuff had damage but we ended up okay. We are moved, and although there is some more to unpack, I am doing pretty well in that regard. This home is much much larger and Austin is loving all the room. It will also be a better environment to being home baby Tad. So I am thankful. God always provides. So now with that behind us we look forward to Hurricane Ike, who is turning into a very strong storm. So pray people. This year is not a good one for storms!
Austin is doing very very well. Potty training is nearly complete. We are 100% on pee-pee. We do not have accidents at all even during naps. He still prefers to go #2 in a pull up but we are working on it. By the time the baby comes I am confident he will be finished. We have also been working on his letters and pre reading. He is doing awesome!! This kid is so incredibly smart! We do some basic spelling and rhyming words. It is precious to watch him absorb something new and really grasp it. Adam and I are starting to entertain the possibility of homeschooling. If we are still living in our current state we will be forced to. If we move before hand then the school districts are far superior and I would feelĀ a lot better. Homeschooling is a huge undertaking and not something I take lightly. We will see. Austins health is a slight concern. Between his GI issues we are working out and his allergies, my poor baby always has something going on. Thank goodness for Zyrtec. All in all my little man is cruising right along at a blinding pace. I love him so much it is amazing. I am so blessed by this sweet boy.
Baby Tad is growing right on track as well. I am 15 weeks and I am really feeling some strong movement that started last night. It is so incredible. I love this time and it really amazes me. I can’t imagine how much love I am going to have for this child. I am going to have TWO children. Amazing….simply amazing. We have another ultrasound on Sept. 25. Although we could find out the gender we are not!! It is hard but I got my way with Austin and we found out. So this time it will be a surprise. I am okay with that…really
To sum it all up, we are good. We had one heck of an August but we made it. I just hope September is more kind. Unlikely as this month has some emotional baggage for me, but I am working on it. At least I have Adams birthday at the end of this month!!! Yay!!!!
So keep us in your thoughts! As always that you so much for your prayers!
I’m soooo glad that you guys are all OK with all these crazy storms going on!
And I’m always amazed at you gals that can wait till the baby is born to find out the gender. I am WAY TOO impatient. I had to know with both my kids;) But it will be a VERY fun surprise!
How exciting about being 15 weeks and feeling movements that never gets old huh? Glad everything is going great in that department with baby Tad:) And yay for Potty Training going well too!!
Thank you SO much for your beautiful comment sweetie:) Hugs to you and yours.
