Prayers during transition

There are lots of changes happening now and that will continue to happen over the next few weeks. Our apartment is about half packed. Okay, that's probably an exaggeration. Maybe 1/4 is more realistic, if that. We'll get there though! We'll be loading a truck Monday the 8th and leaving either the 9th or 10th. We hope to arrive in Oak Harbor the 12th or 13th. Please pray that our stuff is delivered by the moving company on the 12th. If it isn't, it won't come until at least the 15th, which could make for a few interesting days in our new home (especially for Hazel and Jude).

Hazel and Jude are quite beside themselves lately. They have recently transitioned to formula and it is not going well at all (especially for Hazel). They are not eating nearly as much and are in obvious discomfort (so much so that Hazel doesn't even want solids anymore). We keep trying new kinds and are praying that we find the right match for each of them soon. Their teething also seems to be bad again. They've been teething for months and still have nothing to show for it! On top of the physical pain they're experiencing, we're sure they can sense the chaos around here. Please pray that they handle the lengthy car rides each day well, that they are able to tolerate formula so that they start eating more and are not in pain, and that they start sleeping better (Hazel has been up crying multiple times the past few nights).

We are very excited to get moved, settled, and start this new phase of life and are so thankful for the continued prayers of so many as we try and survive this period of major transition.

I TOTALLY understasnd what you're going thru... and I know on the other side of all of this you will be fine. (If you're like me, it may be 3 months or so). It's not easy moving with babies - but they will adjust and will feed off of how you are feeling. The days I was more anxious/stressed were the days the girls were psycho too. It was not cool.

Just know that you're not alone in all of this and I'm praying everything goes smoothly!

Love you friends!
