Baby Besties

So one of my besties, Gwen, has a son that is three and a half months old. Today, I went over there to spend time with them, and she also was going to show me how to use my breast pump. First of all, this baby is SO adorable, I still can't believe I'm having one.

Anyway, we put him in a bumbo and it looked like he was sitting up, and we both got on the floor with him and our breast pumps. We were going through all the parts and figuring mine out, as it's different than hers. There were a few, "What the hell is THIS?!" remarks from all the weird looking parts of it, and it just is crazy how both of our lives are so different now. Who knew the two girls who used to shake it at the clubs would now be learning about breast pump parts with a sweet little pumpkin sucking on his fist watching us. LOL. How things change.

We put Hayes, her little boy, up to my tummy to introduce him to his future bestie, and Adam kicked. SO cute! It will be so fun watching them grow up together.

I've struggled a lot in my life with resentment and things like that, but sometimes you need to just let things go and love your friends. Bonds are priceless, and I'm grateful to be surrounded by people that love me and my son. And somehow someone loving your son makes everything else seem less important.

Life is too short to take things for granted. I'm really blessed.

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!!!!!
