It's Been a While

So much has gone on. For starters, we have gotten Wyatt stabilized for now at least and back to school. I know it is only 2 whole days back, but I am hopeful that it's a start. His anger and rage seem to have completely mellowed out and I believe the natural treatments are working. We skipped them for 2 days and we have a several hour mania rage on Saturday. We quickly figured out that wasn't going to work and that natural medicine is doing a really good job.


The Farm:

10/13 we got our first hard freeze of the season which wiped out all remnants of summer crops. It was completely unpredicted and took us by surprise. 

Fynnick: 

 18 weeks tomorrow and feeling like I am not even pregnant though I certainly look it. I am sadly not feeling him move much due to the anterior placenta so I still use the doppler daily to check for fetal heart tones. He always sounds great and very active. I am working out regularly and eating a mostly veg, plant based diet. I won't be giving up on cheese any time maybe ever, but meat is NOT a thing for me this go round. Working on meditating and doing things to care for my own mental health as dealing with so many issues with Wyatt has surfaced some anxiety and I hadn't been feeling too great.  I am already feeling better mentally from just carving out the time to care for myself. Mamas don't forget you in this process of raising your family.


The Family:

I had the privilege of going with Jaxxon and BryleeAnne's class to the pumpkin patch last week. It was a wet day, but oh so fun! 

This handsome dude turned 8 this week! 8 whole years ago my water broke at 34w2d and Nate drove a frantic 30 minutes to the nearest hospital where we realized there would be a baby born the next day. They induced me with my very large for gestational age preemie and he was born after a painfully dry labor weighing 6.4lbs. He escaped the NICU in just 20 hours and left the hospital the next day. 

After a psychiatry apt this week for Wyatt. So proud of him doing well and keeping control of his emotions. 

Lunch with all these boogies on the way to the dentist today. The boys of course hiding from photos. Teens.......meh! They are tons of fun until the camera comes out. Thankfully Kenna enjoys my selfies still. 

Oh I guess I should mention my hair since it's two different colors in one week haha. I decided to go have blonde weaved in. It turned out grey looking and Nate and the kids weren't especially nice about it. I ended up grabbing my natural color and coloring it back. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Back to square one haha. 

The house: The projects are SLOW going. 

The kitchen has been patched, pipe filler put in, painted and ready for cabinets this week. Nate is working tirelessly on it between his job and appointments. There is just nothing quick about gutting an entire kitchen.
