Changes

There are many changes about to take place!

1) We only have one more week of school left before summer! HORRAY!!!! It really is bliss being able to sleep in and do nothing. It's been awhile since I've had a summer off as I've always worked or been in school. It's going to be GLORIOUS! I will be juggling many doctors appointments, finishing Adam's room, completing all my summer work hours and just resting and relaxing. I cannot wait.

2) I have baby showers coming up! One on Monday, one on June 11th and one on June 28th! Although I'm not 100% comfortable being the center of attention, I am very excited to see what my baby boy gets!

3) My body is changing. While I still don't even look that pregnant, which btw is so annoying seeing everyone else's huge bumps at 27 weeks compared to mine, but I have noticed that some things are definitely getting harder. I'm getting more uncomfortable. Baby boy is sitting on my bladder, so I have to go to the bathroom before I even leave the bathroom from the time before. And I'm not sleeping well. And I'm already having issues reaching over to shave my legs. And I've been having really sharp ligament pains in my lower abdomen. It's fine and totally normal but OUCH, feels like a charlie horse in your stomach! And overall I'm just getting uncomfortable. I've always heard the 3rd trimester is hard, so it should be interesting.

4) Baby is getting stronger. I've noticed his kicks are more pronounced and oh my goodness sometimes they are FAST. It's so funny! It literally feels like he's doing speed karate sometimes. It make me giggle.

So that's where I am...embracing the change!!!!!

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!!!!!
