11 Weeks!

Well baby and I are doing just fine! I still feel pretty good, with the exception of hot flashes from this morning and feeling very faint. I'm still really tired with no energy, but hopefully I only have a couple more weeks of that before I get my second wind.

I can't believe I'm already 11 weeks. In a couple weeks, I'll be out of my first trimester! Crazy! It's going so fast!! I have so much to do!!!

I've decided to have a gender reveal dinner with all my closest friends. I'm really excited about it.

Baby is now the size of a lime! Yay! It's also nearly fully formed, with just growing and complete development of the existing organs. And something that's really cool to me, it's now able to kick and open and close it's fists. So cute! It's probably having a party in there!

One thing that is so crazy to me is that how I can be growing a human the size of a lime and I feel NOTHING! You think I would! The books all say the same thing, though...I won't feel anything for at least another 5 weeks. It's just crazy though that I can't even tell that I'm pregnant other than the fatigue. I'm so lucky this has been such an easy pregnancy so far.

I'm needing to really start watching the weight gain. My tummy has bloated out big time and I am now starting to eat a lot healthier to keep me from gaining too much. I'm only supposed to gain 10 lbs so it should be interesting!

Well it's 9:00! Waaaay past my bedtime!!!

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!!!!!
