Changes

For FHE this week, We decided to make it a family meeting and discuss some serious changes that needed to be made in our household.

We have all been so grumpy and grouchy with each other & the house is always a big mess..

Its been very hard to feel the spirit here... And that makes me so sad!

So Monday night we sat down and thought of things that we could do to have a happier family and a more orderly home.

We decided that more quality time was a must, getting outside more, less electronics and a mandatory Family scripture and prayer scheduled for 7:30 every night!

We are going on day 3 and have already notice a huge difference!

We have been enjoying the great weather while we have it! We got out for some quality family time yesterday! Daddy ran and the kids and I rode beside him.

This awesome bike seat we got for Mason was probably the best thing we could have done!

We are out riding it a few times a day

and he begs for a ride every time we go outside.. which is good for both of us!

We also came up with a game plan on how to keep the house in order, instead of mom doing everything and then getting so over whelmed with it all, that nothing gets done!

So we got a family chore chart going. Now we are each helping with everything that needs to be done!

I also found a cute idea on Pinterest to help Lauryn be better about everything that she needs to do daily.

Its been AMAZING!! She's very motivated to have all of the little "To Do's" moved over to the "Done" side! She is even cleaning up her room willingly!

We are very excited for the new changes and set a goal to stick with it for a month straight and if we do we decided to reward

ourselves with Bahama Bucks!

Time, Slow down!

I have decided that I need to make a goal to start blogging again! Mainly as journal, since I've been slacking at writing in a journal as well.

I've been kind of sad lately thinking about how much time is just slipping away! My little Mr. isn't a baby anymore! He's 18 Months and started nursery this last week.

I was having a hard time wrapping my head around that! A part of me didn't want to let go, because that means he's not my baby and more! But at the same time... I can actually participate in church instead of spending the 3 hours in the halls.

I was so nervous about how he would do without me in nursery with him.

The past few weeks I had gone in with him to get him used to the idea. He would only make it until the toys got put away and then was like "alright, I'm out"

*************

I walked in with him and it was like He knew this was the Sunday he was going solo! He freaked out right away. Not even the trucks would calm him down.. Daddy took him and suggested that I go out (since I obviously made it worse)

He eventually snuck out and Little Mr. never even noticed! They said he did great and Occasionally he would go up to the door and knock and say "Daddy"

I was SO relieved!

I seriously cant get enough of this kid! He's such a stinker at times but is also the sweetest lovable, snuggly boy!

I have been so blessed with these two! They seriously are my reason for living! They Make me laugh so much! I love that I can just laugh with my sweet girl like we are the best of friends! We have our bad days, but I wouldn't trade even the bad days for the world!

Our miracle!!

     We're so excited to FINALLY be having another baby!! Its been a rough road and we never thought this would happen for us again! We finally found a Dr. that was willing to help us figure things out and I'm so thankful for her!! We figured out that my body wasn't producing a hormone which was needed for ovulating.. so I wasn't ovulating for the past 6 years! So frustrating! For years I was just told I was too overweight and that I needed to lose weight for it to happen but that unfortunately just sent me into more of a depression.. I literally couldn't get myself to do anything about it.. I'd be motivated for a few days then slip back into being sad. It was a vicious cycle. It didn't help when my girl would literally cry for a brother or sister! That was the hardest part! Not being able to give her that!
     Finally I decided that if I wanted this to happen I needed to get out there, get myself in gear and find help. I started following the weight watchers plan again, finally found a Dr. willing to run tests to find out what was going on! We started on 50 mg of clomid plus the hormone I was lacking and got a positive pregnancy test that month. We were so excited! It was finally happening, It felt too good to be true... Sadly, it was! It ended up being a chemical pregnancy. Which is the start of a pregnancy but it dies before it develops into anything. The Dr. called it a very, very early miscarriage. We were devastated! I was determined to not give up again and started another clomid cycle. This time is was 100mg of comid plus the hormone. We prayed and fasted and hoped this would be it.

    After a few weeks, I started feeling off... so I took a pregnancy test. It was super faint but it was positive. I was a nervous wreck! This is how it started with the chemical pregnancy.. I tried to stay positive and hopeful and took a pregnancy test every few days and luckily the positive got darker and darker! I was still panicked that this one would be too good to be true, so I called the Dr and got in right away ( I love my Dr's office) so they did the urine test and the blood test and said "congratulations you finally did it!!" We are due Oct 2nd!

     Its been a very long, stressful, painful, frustrating trial but Were so happy and feel so blessed! Its still doesn't feel real some days. I've been lucky enough to have 3 ultra sounds so far! Its such sweet relief to hear that heart beat and see the sweet little baby in there moving around! Lauryn is beyond excited! She's going to be the best helper and has so many plans for being a big sister! We're so excited for another ultra sound on May 7th! If the baby cooperates we should be finding out what we're having!

    I'm so thankful to those that have prayed and fasted on our behalf! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!!

Field trip

My cute girl had her first Kindergarten field trip.. To the Zoo! I was able to go as a chaperon. We had so much fun! We had enough parents for all of the kids so we only had to have 1 extra kiddo.

This is Zach. He "Love's" Lauryn.. so he got to tag along with us!
