Update

Well, I'm happy/relieved to say that things here are starting to make a turn for the better. We took Luke in for his weight check to make sure that he was gaining weight and he gained almost a pound in 6 weeks (He's 16 lb 9oz now). The doctor said that was good and he his now maintaining his weight rather than losing. She also said not to worry too much that he still isn't eating any solids. Since he is reaching all of his physical milestones she doesn't feel that he needs any sort of therapy, she just thinks he may be stubborn and when he's ready, he'll come around. We also discussed his sleeping and she said that we needed to cut out his 2 am feeding. After one really bad night of crying, he has pretty much turned around. He will now only wake up once/night (I hope that I'm not jinxing myself by putting this down in writing!)

Our bedtime disaster with Chase has also calmed down. After talking to the nurse at the pediatrician, she basically said that we had to take away things he would want if he got out of bed and give him something he would really want if he stayed in. So, we made the deal that if he was a good boy and stayed in bed without crying, he would get a candy in the morning. Well, after 2 nights, he realized that candy was definitely the way to go and our bedtime at home has become so much less stressful! He does remind us at 6 am that he needs to "get a candy" but we're hoping to phase that out and replace it with something else as soon as the Halloween candy is gone. He actually said to me this morning, "My candy is almost gone, we better go trick or treating again." I laughed outloud.

Blake got his results back from his content area test of history to go back to school and become a teacher and he passed! He was absolutely shocked, I wasn't. I'm so proud of him for going back and doing something that he truly wants to do. I think he will develop such a passion for working with kids that he'll wonder why he ever wanted to do anything else.

Now, if we could just sell our house, things would be great!
