There is LIGHT!!!!

After a month of horribly progressive pain, vomiting, and many tears, I finally found something that took away my heartburn. PREVACID!!!! Oh my goodness I almost cried when it took it away. And it is quite possible that a happy dance was involved.

So lots to update! I got my walls painted blue and I absolutely love them! It's a light blue, very pretty. I'm amazed how much paint lights up a room. And now I'm all annoyed at how boring the rest of my apartment looks. LOL. I can't wait to see the end product!

I also got my bedding. My amazing mom bought it today. I have the elephant quilt, bumpers, fitted sheet, bed skirt, and elephant mobile. SO cute!!!

On a more bummer note, I'm starting to have issues with "the experts". Who are they, you ask? The people that think they have ALL the answers toward parenting and they think their ideas are absolute truth. At first I was gracious, understanding they just want to help and give advice, but now I'm starting to get annoyed. If I hear, "You know you're not supposed to do that, right?" on a very controversial topic, I think I just might scream. I do my research, I'm smart, and I am doing whatever I think is best for my child in that situation, so I don't need to be told otherwise. It's just funny how some people think it's okay to overstep that line, all in the name of being "an expert". I believe that everyone does what is best for them and parenting is making personal decisions that you feel work best for your family. Done. End of story. Not mine or anyone's place to say otherwise. I need to come up with general phrase that says, back off, but I'm still classy. Still working on it.

On a POSITIVE note! I'm feeling Adam now!! It's so awesome! I was sitting watching Frozen with my family when I felt a little ripple deep in my stomach! And now I'm feeling it several times a day! SO fun! I feel closer to him when I can feel him. It's awesome.

So yeah, so far I'm doing better. Not in pain anymore and just feel fat and tired! Not too bad, considering I'm almost 6 months pregnant! Can you believe that?! This pregnancy is FLYING!!!!

I see my pumpkin on Monday at my next Ultrasound. Can't wait!!! :0)

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!!!!!
