Tale Of The Mammoth

Tonight, I went to see Jeana and we had dinner and then went to a Grease Sing-A-Long. We laughed like crazy like we always do. We always have a great time. This time, though...something was different.

When we were in Kroger, I drug behind, having to walk super slow because I'm so sluggish. Then when we got to the theater, it was slightly warm, I broke out in a sweat, and had to fan myself during the entire movie because I was feeling faint. I'm sure the people next to me just loved that. I had about 5 bathroom breaks over the course of our visit, and the biggest thing I noticed...when I was sitting during the movie, I couldn't believe how uncomfortable I was just SITTING in a movie chair without my feet being elevated. I also can't cross my legs anymore so I felt very manly sitting with my legs apart, sweaty and uncomfortable. SO NOT ME!

So yeah, I just feel like a big mammoth. I've felt things here and there in this pregnancy but the last stretch is definitely a game changer. I just want to stay in bed and rest all the time. I have nine more weeks, I can do this, I can do this. It's just interesting how I'm actually getting ready for him to come out...of course to meet my sweet boy, but also to feel like me again and so I can get back some energy to be his mama!

I finally broke down and asked for help. So far one of my friends will be helping me with some to do items next week. I'm very relieved to have some help. Even taking out the trash has been taking it's toll on me lately. I look forward to feeling a little more accomplished with more items checked off the to-do list.

I cannot believe it's almost July. These 9 weeks are going to fly! GOOD!!!

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!!!!!
