Update

I was able to get our child who's been having quite a few trials into a wonderful Christian counselor. The counselor said that Christianity and counseling go hand in hand and that with everything he's going to be giving our child tools, that he can't fix things for our child, but with prayer, and tools they're going to be able to equip and counseling should only last a few months.

We've had a lot of changes in our home over the last few weeks, the biggest is that we opened our home up to our oldest child's friend who was in a bad situation at home. Single mom who goes from boyfriend to boyfriend, blamed her son for all her failed relationships (including the abusive boyfriend from a couple years ago! Said if it wasn't for him, that relationship would have worked!! Seriously, you can't make that kind of messed up stuff, up!) So we now have 7 children living in our home. We're all adjusting. Some things have been pretty easy, while other things we're still working on, so feel free to pray if you feel led to for us! I believe we'll all get there, and my husband is filling a roll this young man longs for and I don't believe has ever truly had, a dad/father figure in his life. He's VERY attached to my husband, and I am concerned it's almost too attached, but then I remind myself, he went 18 years without ever having an actual father figure in his life. We're just working on setting up healthy boundaries for him.

The last big thing is our family has started eating Keto. So far I've lost 12 lb, in just over 2 weeks. I'm very proud of myself. It's not been that hard to change our lifestyle. We are trying so many new recipes, which has been fun and most have been well received, and a few, not so much. Tonight's was a huge success! My 2nd son has lost some weight as well, which I'm very proud of him for.
The sugar addiction has been broken and instead of going for chocolate or junk, I go for blackberries or strawberries instead! This is definitely a lifestyle I can stick with for the rest of my life.


Well, it's late and I have to be up in less than 6 hours when my first daycare baby arrives and a couple hours later the other two will be here.
