Update

I promise that I will get pictures on here sometime of my family Christmas, but wanted to give an update. Bella is growing well, but still having lots of problems with spitting up and vomiting. I finally changed her formula to the lactose free sensitive. (Isaiah was on it also). So far she is doing better on it. Some spitting up, but not the vomiting like before. But it has only been a couple days and most formulas are alright for about a week and then the vomiting starts again. The only problem is that we are on WIC and they will only pay for the Good Start formula and they don't have a lactose free, so I switched to Similac. We will have quite an expense if we stay on the Similac, but at least she won't be vomiting.
I am also still having sugar problems. I did a follow-up glucose test 6 weeks after having Bella. I was just called this week and told that my sugars are still high, so I am being sent to the diabetes center. Basically to see the nurse and dietician. Same as when I was pregnant. So I started my Weight Watchers again. I was trying to wait until after I had my tubes tied. (My consult is this week). Since I am 4 pounds over what I was when I got pregnant with both kids, I wanted to stay at that so nothing happens before getting my tubes tied. But I am also concerned about my health and want to stay on top of this. So I am praying that nothing happens until everything is worked out. And I am praying that I am diligent about getting to a healthier weight and maintaining it, especially with all the stress that we have going on.
Isaiah is a 2 year old boy with lots of energy. We are starting to have a problem with being mouthy. That is one thing I cannot stand to see in a child. So while it is very tough to always be on top of it, I know that it is necessary to guide him into a wonderful child. We mainly are into saying "stop" and "don't" when momma and daddy ask or tell him to do something. And there is no way to tell him not to say "don't" unless I say it also. Sort of a hypocrite in that sense. But we will persevere and raise him in the guidance of the Lord.
Andy is good, very busy, tired and at times discouraged. It is so hard not to be in this stage. He has been working so hard on the house and I am so proud of him and love him. We are hoping to put a for sale by owner sign out in the next week or so and see if we get any bites. If nothing happens for a while, we will probably go with our realtor.
Hope everyone is having a happy new year and I will try to get some pictures on soon!

Yes.. that 2 year old stage can be a challenge but so important to perservere and be consistent and loving. Remember it will NOT always be like this.
We are praying for you as you look towards future. Waiting for God's Timing and direction never gets easier but it does help to know that He WILL always be Faithful.
