Since my last post I have:
-Conquered Post Postpartum Depression! (Awful, and ya cant really explain it until you've been there..I definitely don't wish those horrible emotions on anyone)
-Put our house on the market, as a short sale. Everyone says to me, Oh Im so sorry! Well, Im not! :) Its ok, it really is! Sean and I bought at the peak of the market, we paid nearly 200k for our tiny little home, that I did love so much, but, unfortunately because of our negative equity (the home is only work about 110k, no bank would refinance us, not a single one. BECU put us into a special loan as well, so that really didn't help :/ With payments climbing, we gave it our full effort and after speaking with a lawyer, we were reassured this was our best option. Actually, our bank even told us this was the only way we could get out of the loan, they obviously wouldnt refinance us either, so we went forth with it. Part of me was sad to say goodbye to it since that is the house all 3 of my babies came home to, the first house Sean and I bought, but as soon as we started moving into the new house and I saw the pure joy on the kids faces that they have SPACE and more than one toilet..its worth it! :D Now to decide for our future, stay in the town of Eatonville, move onto a chunk of land, etc..decisions and lots of prayer!
-So that of course, means we moved into a New Home :) 0.8 miles from our old one!
-Found out my sweet baby has Acid Reflux and got him onto a medication that has improved his happiness ten fold
-Took my daughter to her First day of Kindergarten (tears!)
-Taken my middle child, my handsome, goofy fun-loving son, on many Mommy/Son dates to make sure he isn't feeling left out.
-Bought Sean a commuter car. For the first time in the almost 7 years we have lived in Eatonville this will be the first car that has airbags, is SAFE and sooo fuel efficient! Didnt want two car payments, but he is worth every penny. Plus, we are outgrowing our Jeep Liberty quickly, so my brother is actually going to take over payments on it because he really loves the SUV, and the kids and I will drive my parents 4 door f350 for a while. So basically we will only have one car payment. :)
What else have I been up to?? Being a Mom of three! A wife, chauffeur, chef, maid..haha! challenging yes, but we are getting into a great routine with school, and knowing Sawyer has acid reflux, he is on his medication and his oatmeal loaded bottles of formula to help that, he sleeps thru the night, from 7-7, I wont expect this to last forever, but hey, Ill enjoy as long as I can! He is a bit tricky to get to nap..but I either swaddle him in the swing or put him in this new vibrating bassinet I found on clearance at Target! Was 80 got it for 30, best money Ive ever spent! haha. Plus it converts to chair and rocker..sweet deal!
Speaking of, my sweet boy is awake! Time to go :)
Love your outlook and so excited for all of these valuable changes that are going on. Can't wait to see the new house!! Maybe we can pop out for a play date soon! I think our two batman loving boys will have fun together!
