Govt shutdown, kiddos, life!

I can't believe I haven't updated in so long.. OOPS!

Kadyn - Has grown like crazy lately... literally.. She's gone up a size in everything! She's speaking in full sentences and the tantrums have calmed down. She's REALLY starting to be a big girl.. It makes me so sad!

I love her little personality though. At her 3 year old appointment, she was 32lbs and 34 inches tall. (I think)

                                   

Wes - OMG! He's the best baby! He barely EVER cries and smiles non-stop. He's 17lbs and 23 inches long. He's started to "talk" to us a lot. OH, and he's started laughing lately too!!

         

Life - We were part of the government shutdown. We lost 50% of our paycheck. We ended up with $66 after paying the mortgage, and our savings is now next to nothing. It was HORRIBLE. I still feel absolutely sick at my stomach. We were furloughed in July, and then this.. It has been a HARD few months. We're supposed to get back-pay, but I'm not holding my breath. It's made me look at things differently. I think we'll be investing in a deep freezer and a Sam's club membership soon. I want to be prepared for this to happen again & have what we need. Stocking up on diapers too! My nerves are still torn up. No joke, chest pain and everything.. Luckily, Mom came up and has been buying everything (we never asked her to)... She's just awesome like that.. I don't know what I'd do without her!

My mom and Weston

Me - I'm feeling OK lately. My side hasn't been giving me that much trouble. I know when to stop and rest. . I used to just push through everything, but I've stopped that. It's not worth it, and I need to be at my best. Anxiety is in check.. I went through a month without my medicine, NOT A GOOD PLAN! Everything's ok now though. Baby weight is driving me crazy.. Right after Wes was born, I wen't down to almost 2lbs above pre-pregnancy.. THEN I gained 8lbs back.. SOOO now I'm like 4 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight. Its so frustrating!! Grr! O well though! 

Marriage - Since moving into this house and having Wes, we don't really fight. We have small disagreements and sometimes we frustrate each other, but its not an actual fight. I think we've been so much that not a lot phases us as a couple. I still like my husband, its nice!
