A Better Day

Today was great! I woke up feeling so refreshed and I actually felt really productive today!

I got up really early, went shopping for Mom's birthday gift and food for her party, then went grocery shopping, got gas, and cleaned out my car! By then I was ready for a nap. I had a great 2 hour nap, then put together Adam's bath tub and high chair. I tested the bath tub and it is an AWESOME bath tub! It has bubbles, a shower, and a whirlpool. The shower is SO gentle and I absolutely love the infant bath seat. He's gonna have a blast, once he gets used to them. LOL. I hear all babies hate them at first. But once he gets older, I can see him loving those bubbles. SO cute. It looks like I will be bathing him in the kitchen, because the tub is big and luckily one counter fits it perfect. I've even found the perfect hideaway place for it when we're not using it. It's not really hidden, like at all, but it still works. LOL. His high chair is also adorable. Two cute little hippos. *Awws*

I also learned how to use my video camera. Well, almost. Turns out the memory card is the wrong size so Mom and I are going to go talk to the tech peeps at Best Buy on Sunday. I look forward to videoing all his precious moments. And I also did some research tonight on how to convert hd video to dvds so I can make copies for my family. I purchased the software and can't wait to learn it! I love computer stuff!!!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Kelly is coming in tomorrow morning for the shower and she will stay with me for the weekend. C will join us for some of the activities, hopefully cause I KNOW SHE NEEDS IT! You reading this, C?! That's right, I'm talking to YOU! LOL!!! We are doing brunch at Cracker Barrel (if Kelly is ok with that place) and then swimming. Saturday is the shower and then Jeana, Christina, Kelly and I are going to tackle the nursery after that. I am SO excited about seeing that room come together.

I am getting frustrated with my search for a glider. I'm having very little luck online and the ones you buy in store you have to put together, and we know I'm not good at that stuff so I'm not sure what to do. I need to figure it out soon.

Sunday afternoon, we're having Mom's birthday party and then the fun begins! Well, I guess the fun begins AT her party haha, but after that we are going to spend my gift cards on the stuff we don't have. I am REALLY excited and a bit overwhelmed at that! Should be fun, though.

So yeah, I'm still feeling overwhelmed at the to do list but at least today I got SOMETHING done. Making progress, slowly but surely!!!

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...

Pediatrician Interview

Great news, I've found Adam a great doctor! Her facility is located right across the street! It takes about 30 seconds to drive there, and I LOVED what I saw today. When I walked in for the consult, I was greeted by VERY sweet nurses. There was NO ONE in the waiting room and they had two separate areas for well children and an area for sick children. I was very happy to see this as I know how easily germs can be transferred. I got a tour of the facility and loved the rooms! They all had a theme. I saw a SUPERMAN room, and a CURIOUS GEORGE room. All adorable! Then the doctor came in and we talked for awhile. She is VERY sweet, very personable and outgoing and I explained how I don't really know what I'm doing and how this is a whole new world for me. She was very informative and answered all my questions. She even said, "Wow, you are by far the most organized mom I've seen, and I've had a lot of prenatal consults!" I was like, REALLY?! She's like, ...
