If I’m being completely honest the past few weeks have been some of the hardest we’ve faced as parents. The lack of sleep courtesy of Jesse coupled with the strong-will of Asher has made for an exhausting season of life. For someone who is NOT hyper about keeping a tidy home even I have been frustrated with feeling like I just can’t keep everything together – kids, meals, errands, household chores, lingering thank you notes, returning phone calls, laundry, Bible study… At times it’s all just felt too overwhelming!! And proving Murphy’s Law ever true, any night that Jesse has gone for a longer stretch of sleep giving us the hope of more than a few hours of sleep in a row Asher has uncharacteristically woken up crying and needing us. It has honestly felt like a tag-team effort some nights to keep us both from getting more than two or three hours of sleep in a row. It’s been pretty easy to begin to spiral down the my life-is-so-hard-right-now train of thought!!
And then, it’s days like today that remind me of how good my life is, and how THANKFUL I am. Not that I ever doubted that, just lost sight from time to time!
Asher and Jesse had their 2.5 year and 4 month well-check appointments today. And in spite of a (super) busy week Chris joined us and I was SO glad to have him there!!
Turns out we have to really healthy kids! ;) (Something I take for granted on a regular basis!) Jesse is in the 93rd percentile for length (26.5 in) and the 95th percentile for weight (a whopping 17 lbs 10.5 oz). Asher is in the 75th percentile for height and the 80th percentile for weight. He’s hitting and exceeding the milestones that would be expected for a 2.5 year old and is healthy and happy! Thank you, Jesus!!
Yep, today was a good reminder of just how much we have to be thankful for! Even for the little (which really aren’t that little) things like watching cartoons snuggling with both my boys. :)
