Contractions And Some Sorting

Well, I finally felt what a contraction feels like. And let me tell you, I am *NOT* a fan!!!

Like I mentioned in my last post, I've been super upset about work and on Friday my stress level was ridiculous! Well, at 6am on Saturday morning I woke up and felt this horrible tightening of my insides! It lasted only about 15 seconds, but was awful!!! I felt another one about 10 minutes later. At first I freaked, thinking it could be stress related, and knowing Adam is only one pound right now really scared me! But then I remembered my reading and remember that about this time, many women get random contractions. I knew the pattern to look for, labor is apparently subtle, continuous, and gaining in strength, and this wasn't like that. I was still a little nervous but luckily never felt anything after that and was feeling Adam happily kicking away and that made me feel better.

So yeah, I am NOT looking forward to labor. And my doctors have been asking me if I've felt any contractions and at that point, I hadn't. Now I have...and it SUCKS. OUCH!

On a girlie note, I am SO excited about my new elephant closet dividers!!! They are adorable rings that have elephants on them and match my scheme. I sorted all his baby clothes according to size with the rings and had so much fun doing so! I got sad as the clothes got bigger and bigger, I know my baby is going to grow so fast!! But yes, I'm super excited about decorating. Christina, Jeana, and Charlotte are excited, too! It's going to be great getting it all together!!!

5 weeks and 3 days until summer!!!

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!!!!!
