Sweet Dreams...

Recently, we have been dealing with a variety of sleep issues and dreams. 

First, Carson has decided that he no longer wants to sleep in his crib, but would rather be in Mommy & Daddy's.  He would cry when we put him down, he would wake up at least 3 times a night crying for one of us to come and get him.  We did the cry it out thing and it seems to have worked...knock on wood.  I am quickly learning that toddlers go through lots of very brief stages.  We are hoping this was one of them. 

Second, we are in the process of finalizing an offer for building the house of our dreams (sort of).  We have searched for the last 6 months for a house that fit all of our requirements and have found nothing.  So, we looked into building and were pleasantly surprised that we could get almost everything we want if we build.  Of course it is on a little lot, but we sacrificed.  I am hoping this works out and we are able to be in our new home by the summer. 

Last, I finally lost my first 20lbs.  I am so happy and feeling much better.  Now, I need to attack the next 20lbs.  My dream is to be 50lbs lighter by Carson's birthday...if not sooner.
