5 Weeks!

I'm 5 and a half weeks along and so far all is going well! I had an upset stomach for a week as I was adjusting to the new hormone levels in my body. I've had small random waves of nausea so far but not too bad yet, and OMG, I finally know the meaning of sore boobs! I've never had them before so I didn't really know what everyone has been talking about, and then Christmas morning I woke up SO sore! Ouch!! 

Right now my baby is the size of an Appleseed and is forming the major organs. Yay!!! It's amazing how much I already love that little nugget!

I'm very much aware of the dangers of the first trimester and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared to death of losing this baby, but I'm only allowing myself to think positive thoughts and think I will have a healthy and normal pregnancy. 

My puppy dog Kaci has been really clingy lately and I'm wondering if she senses that something is different. She won't leave my side and always waits for me before we go anywhere. It's so sweet! 

My heat went out two days ago but I got it fixed and now baby and I are toasty warm! 

Overall, I'm happy as a clam! I'm going to be a mommy!!!!!

Infertility

So I have learned this Mother's Day that this day brings up a lot of different emotions. Most think of their mothers, and spend the day thinking about how grateful they are. But that's not everyone's story. While most are grateful for their mothers, Many want to be mothers and have today as a set reminder that they aren't. And others have Mothers in heaven and are unable to be with them. It just makes me sad... I did not have an easy road with fertility. It seems short in the big picture, but it certainly did not feel that way going through it. I tried getting pregnant two times before I went to a doctor. Then I tried 4 times with a doctor, perfect timing and eggs and still nothing. I was put on drugs and my emotions were pushed and pulled from hormones and I followed the same cycle of HOPE, FEAR, DISSAPOINTMENT, and TEARS. Until the 5th time, JOY! It took me about 7 months total to get pregnant. And about $12,000. I am crazy regular and ovulated every month of my lif...

Seeing The Heartbeat

This past Monday was a special day. I got to see my baby's heartbeat for the first time. Also, this appointment was the first time I'd seen my doctor since I'd found out I was pregnant. Backstory: we've tried for 5 months to get me pregnant, altering meds, doing double procedures, the whole nine yards. And my doctor is WONDERFUL, I absolutely adore him. He's hilarious, SO sweet to me and we have bonded through the 5 months of me seeing him all the time about my failed pregnancy attempts. Well, fast forward to heart beat day he asked me if I wanted an ultrasound and I said yes! He turns the screen towards him, I guess to not upset me if he doesn't see anything and he immediately says in his adorable excited voice, "I see a baby and a heartbeat!" YAY!! Then he proceeds with, "but before I show you, I need to look at your ovaries, because I care." Then he turned the screen to me, and before my eyes stood a blurb of cuteness with a visual bulging...

Adam's First Party

Today, I got an invitation to an SMC pool party on September 13th. I was thinking to myself, "Oh fun, I love those!" And then it hit me! Adam will be here by then!!!! YAY!!!!!! He will be roughly 3 weeks old! Now I normally wouldn't be huge on exposing him to germs when he's so little, but because it's outside and fresh air, I think it could be good if I was recovering well. I would just need to make sure he is in the shade the entire time and that he doesn't get overheated.  I'm excited! His first party!! I was excited to RSVP with a +1. It made my day!!!!!
