Wiped. Out.

So the 3rd trimester fatigue is really kicking my butt right now. Even the simplest thing makes me exhausted and I need time to recover. I've been in almost zombie mode when it kicks in. I'm hoping I have some higher energy days because I'm having a hard time getting all I want done in a day. My to do list is very long and I'm feel like I'm not making a dent. 

I'm also feeling pretty overwhelmed with the "putting things together" part of all his stuff. His highchair needs to be assembled, his bathtub needs to be assembled. And I'm not good at that stuff at all. I'm about to start asking boyfriends and husbands soon because it needs to get done. Plus I'll need help with installing a car seat properly and the stroller. Ahh!!! This is the hardest part for me. Not having a handy person in the house to help me. I'm hoping I can figure it out, soon. 

So yeah, I'm pretty much overwhelmed and really tired. I've been productive in the organization of his stuff department, so that's something. All his newborn clothes are washed, organized and ready for him. I'm also going to go ahead and wash all of his 3 months clothes, too since I know he's going to be a long baby and might need them pretty quickly. 

Tomorrow I have an SMC pool party that I'm excited about. It will be good to see the girls and the kiddos, not to mention swimming. It will feel so good to float and take the weight off my back. I feel like a mammoth!!!!!!!!

My bestie C and I are taking on a fitness challenge in October that I'm excited about. I've decided to dedicate a full year to getting my weight off. The bigger I get, the more and more ready I am to get started. Come on, October!!!

I'm going to head to bed early tonight and hope that tons of sleep will allow me to feel better in the morning. Cross your fingers!!!

    Woman! I'm pretty handy with the assembling of stuff, so you won't even have to ask boyfriends or husbands. :-) Pick a day, even a weeknight if you want, and we'll get it done.

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!!!!!
