What a week

Well this was no dull week... Not that we have many weeks that are dull but this was full of events. The most exciting was that Kayden celebrated his 2nd birthday. We had so much fun at his birthday party at the pumpkin farm on Sunday. The kids had a blast playing, feeding animals, riding the trains and picking out their pumpkin. Kayden was exhausted after it was over and fell asleep almost before we got out of the parking lot. His actual birthday was Wednesday and we celebrated again with some friends. We also showed Kayden his big boy room that Luke and I had been working on over the last week or so. He loved it and was excited to go to sleep in his big boy bed for the first time. It took us about 2 hours of putting him back into his bed but he finally got it. The whole process took about 2 days for him to realize that we weren't going to stop putting him back to bed and now he lays right down and goes to sleep. He did awesome! I can't believe my first baby is already 2 years old. It is amazing how fast time goes by and how exciting it is to watch him turn into this little man. We are impressed everyday at what he learns and you never know what he is going to do.

  Chase also got to move into his big boy room too. He has been sleeping in his crib and doing pretty good. He has been waking up about 2 times a night which is more than before but he'll get back on track. We think he is teething so maybe that has something to do with his sleeping patterns!

  We have also had some changes in my office and I don't think I will have a job for much longer. I am just trying to figure out what to do next but Luke always tells me that things will work out. I think that is why Luke and I work so well together, he is the calming force while I am the one that worries about stuff. We will figure something out and as my husband says... it will all work out. Luke wants me to focus only on the boys for a little bit before I start going crazy trying to find a job so that is what I am going to do. As far as I know I will be working as a subcontractor until the end of the year but I am waiting to get a proposal from my boss today so we'll see what happens. 

   I also found out that I have post partum thyroiditis. It started after I had Kayden and then got better while I was pregnant with Chase. After Chase was born I

 started choking again so after some blood work, an ultrasound and an appointment with an endocronologist that was the conclusion she came too. So hopefully after this medicine helps my thyroid create more of the hormone I am lacking I will be as good as new! Some of the symptoms of thyroditis are hair breaking and falling out, tiredness, weight gain. But for anyone who has had babies before all those things happen anyways so the choking is what caught my attention. Who isn't tired chasing a 2 year old and 4 month old????? 

   Overall there were way more great times this week than bad. I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason so we will take it one days at a time.
