Still here
I'm still here! Getting negative tests still, so it must have been some weird fluke. No period yet though, so who knows what's going on.A LOT has happened in the past 2 weeks or so. We are going to be packing up and moving out of state to live with my parents (like, actually live in their house with them
) and we're supposed to leave a week from tomorrow. We have not packed one thing. Since we just moved 3 months ago, thankfully a lot of our stuff is still in boxes, but there's still a lot to do. 
We're both nervous to move, and especially to be so close to my parents, but I think this will really help us get on our feet. Please pray for us if you think of it, we'll need it. I can't believe we're 25 and 26 and responsible for so much. How did this creep up on us??? I still feel like such a kid myself. I keep waiting for someone to step in and take care of ME, I'm so overwhelmed thinking of everything I'm supposed to take care of! This has very little to do with being a mother as my children are the greatest blessings in my life and I wouldn't trade them for anything. It's more about being an adult and all of the responsibilities that come with that. Having kids is easy in so many ways-- all they need is love, some food, and playtime. I'm realizing more and more that we make parenting so much more complicated than we need to. The hard part of life for me is figuring out what the heck we're going to do with ourselves, how to make ends meet, what we want to do for work, how we're going to construct our family dynamics, how we need to plan for the future, how to relate to family now as adults ourselves, etc. Those are the things that are seriously stressing me out!!! Being an adult is wayyyyy overrated.
I'm trying to relax though and take it one day at a time. I can get myself so wound up about things. What does that accomplish? Nothing. I'm really trying to live more in the moment, since that's all we have. Chad is very inspiring to me in this way because he is so mellow and at peace with life. Very rarely does anything faze him. I totally needed a dude like that.
Speaking of enjoying the moment, may the cutest baby in the universe motivate you....
Please don't pay attention to his dirty jammies. Maybe we are a little white trash after all. Ugh!!

Yummy candy!!! Adorable!
I agreed muchly with the second paragraph of this post... I think my kids are a challenge, but not nearly as stressful as the mundane challenges of paying the bills and whats for dinner and all that stuff. Kids bring so much joy and laughter that I don't think I would be nearly as able to tolerate adulthood without my sweet kids who give me a new perspective all the time and never take themselves (or life) too seriously.
Have fun packing and good luck with the move... I am praying for you and the family, that the move goes well with minimal stress associated with it. Hopefully it will wind up being a big relief to have family so nearby and lots of help at the ready... I know I get to feeling pretty isolated being so many hours from anyone I can call and say "I need a few hours!!! Can I bring them over?" or something. I bet it will be a wonderful thing for you guys. Hang in there... wish I could help you pack! :)
I hope that your move goes well. Can you imagine all the help you will have once you get there? I cannot imagine being able to go somewhere without kids so often. You won't know what to do! I am sure that it will be fun for the kids to be with their Grandparents more.
Those are REALLY cute pictures. It seems like I always snap pictures of the kids when they have something on their clothing and I think dang why didn't I notice that?
precious! he looks so much like carter!
