Life has been crazy these past few weeks. I had to take a step back from social media for a bit to take care of my family and just slow down. I’m about 200 emails, and 47 collaborations behind. If you have been trying to email me or if I’m late on collaborating with you I apologize!
Adjusting to two babies has been a beautiful and yet challenging thing for us. I’d love to do a whole blog post on that alone, but alas I have no time! For the most part we are all figuring out everything and enjoying being a family of 4. Every day they do something that catches us by surprise and makes us so happy to be parents, and other days we feel like we live in a circus. I’m sure many of you know that feeling!
Here’s a little update on the littles: Baby Sunshine has been struggling with acid reflux as well as withdrawals. If he’s not being snuggled by someone then he is screaming. He is awake more during the day, however, and is so close to showing us a real smile! Sweet A has started walking a few steps at a time. It’s so exciting and fun to see her so proud of herself. She has also been struggling a lot lately with separation anxiety. So, my daily life lately has consisted of having two babies on me basically all day long. I’m basically a snuggle machine 😉
Last week, my sweet grandma fell & broke her hip and wrist so my family & I have basically been living at the hospital. Juggling who will watch the littles & leaving JJ home alone at night so I could help my grandma & family was a big learning curve for us. Thank God for my amazing mother-in-law and husband!
I have also had a few health issues come up. If you know anything about my story #healingafterhana you’ll understand that these sorts of things are just a bummer. We are planning on seeing a specialist soon who can help us figure out what the next steps are for treatment.
JJ starts a second job this week as a professor teaching computer science & we are trying to figure out how to plan & adjust to him being gone more. We are so excited for this opportunity for him, but I’m not going to lie, I will miss him on the nights and weekends he will be gone.
We also have some big news!! We are planning on selling our house and moving. It’s been something we’ve wanted to do and have planned to do for some time. With two babies, a dog, and two cats, we just feel that we are ready for a bit more space. I am beyond excited for this move, but I’m not looking forward to all the packing!
This past month I have received so many sweet emails and dms from many of you. We just want to say how much we appreciate all of you. I don’t always have time to respond to all of them but please know we read them and they encourage us! Thank you for the prayers! Hopefully, I will figure out time when I can post more often. Until then, here is to taking things slow and focusing on family 🙂
