ENERGY!

Great news! I feel like me again!!! I now have energy and am so productive! I am ready to get back in the gym and eat super healthy to not gain too much this trimester! YAY it feels so good to feel good again! It's been awhile!!! The cons to the second trimester: backaches and bad heartburn. OUCH. But at least I can get stuff done when I'm hurting lol.

Last week, I had a few days of anxiety. I've been feeling very nervous about labor, and getting all of the stuff I need. I've started this cycle where if I buy anything, I'm not saving it and I'm falling short of where I want to be, savings wise. This is getting very stressful. I need to stop buying and just hope that I get enough from showers. Ahh scary! And the labor, well there's nothing I can do about it. I just keep hearing horror stories and it makes me very scared. I also hate the thought of my baby being in pain, since birth is also painful for the baby. BUT, I know God allowed us to survive it so I just need to have faith that I will get through it.

My friend Gwen is having her baby next week. I'm so excited to meet her little guy, and my baby's future bestie!

Gwen and I went to a big consignment sale in Frisco and we got great stuff! I got a monitor for 10$ and a cute toy for 5$. She got a bunch of stuff and only spent $33. It was amazing!

Ever since I've discovered my new found energy, I've made some serious progress in the baby's room. I am officially moved out of that room and closet! It looks so cute! I have a bookcase up and decorated and the dresser up. I bought a really sweet decal that I need to put up and I have a bookcase that I will put together soon. It's just so much fun when it's for a baby.

So lots of fun stuff happening in March. I'm so glad because I need distractions from the torture of waiting to find out the gender of my child! I have spring break coming up, San Antonio trip to see my friend Kelly, Divergent movie with the girls and then the gender party! YAY!!! Then I will need to think about registering! Yay!

So yes, things are getting exciting and I am feeling good so I'm really happy. Speaking of happy, my medicine has finally found it's balance. As some of you know, I was in a pretty bad place not that long ago and now I just feel so balanced, calm, and recognize all the blessings in my life. I am so glad that my child is going to have a happy and fun mommy. I'm just so grateful that things are better.

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!!!!!
