Hi my lovely readers! I’ve been missing for a while. While I was trying to heal from my whirlwind of life, my baby is almost 8 months old. And as it turns out, so far she is behaving much like a 3 month old. She struggles to sit up, hold her head up and now she has a helmet which is heavy. Her helmet is for her flat head and she leans to one side, we aren’t sure why — it might have something due to her vision.
Ellye
She talks sometimes and can tell stories! She doesn’t sleep through the night but she’s getting better. She hardly ever cries!!! She keeps her hands balled up in a fist pretty much all day. She doesn’t reach for toys or play but she sucks her fingers. She loves the sounds of her sisters and the chaos of this house.
She’s my best friend. I love to be near her and just smell her baby smell, moms know what I’m talking about! She’s a heavy Ellye belly, weighing in at almost 20lbs, about 2 lbs shy of Eva’s weight and she’s going to be 3! She has the best turkey thighs ever! She’s already in 12-18 month clothes! Since she is not sitting up on her own she’s even heavier than most 8 month olds. I’m looking for a good sturdy baby carrier that I can wear. I’m thinking the Ergo since it can hold up to 40 lbs and you can put them on your back so it doesn’t strain you’re back. The infant carrier has been our holder for her but her weight is to heavy to take it anywhere now.
In our family update, I’m happy to say that I decided to start my own business called Progress Accounting. I’m now a contracted accountant that can work from home most days. Brian’s sister has been staying with is for over a month is officially moving all her belongings from Florida. I am thankful that grandma will be moving here also and that takes place this weekend! Brian might be going to build a Walgreens 3 hours away starting in June so pray for sanity on my end and supportive wife duties. He will probably be gone for 4 or 5 days and home on weekends. Marriage has been stressful during this time, poor Brian has had to deal with a lot from me in the last 8 months. I’m glad I’m feeling better these days. No one really talks about how marriages are affected while raising a special needs child. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of help in this category since only time can help. I have to say that it has been a journey thus far. All we can do is take one day at a time and be thankful for our amazing family. Sorry for the lack of flow for this post, I’m writing this in the wee hours of the night on my phone 
Thanks for reading!!
