Camcorder and Family Yearbook

Yay! Some happy news!!!

I played with my Camcorder, switched out SD cards, studied and learned the DVD software and I'm happy to report that I now know how to record videos, upload them to my computer, create an adorable DVD title page and menu template, fully equipped with music and graphics, and burn and make additional copies to DVDs! Why is it that I can't be hands-on crafty, but I'm pretty good at the computer stuff?! I guess because it's fun to me.

Anyway, I am *SUPER* excited to make my first DVD! I've already started it. It's called:

Baby Adam: Preparation and First Days Of Life

The Table Of Contents will be:
-The Gender Reveal
-The Home Tour (I'm going to video a walk of the apartment for him)
-Labor (Don't worry, just a SMALL part, nothing graphic)
-Mommy Meets Adam
-Adam meets his friends and family
-Coming Home
-Adam meets his sister Kaci
-First Bath

I'm *SO* super excited that I know how to do this! How fun will it be to have the important moments forever? YAY! Also, they will make awesome Christmas gifts!

I also finished the templates for the finish of my first family yearbook. This yearbook covers last summer to this summer, with all the memorable moments of the year. I am SO stinkin' proud of it and I will be giving them to family for Christmas. And when they open it, it will be the first time they see it. SO. FUN!

My final online summer project is Adam's baby book. I'm about half way through it now and will try to have it done by the end of the month so I can have it ready by the time he arrives!

YAY memories!!!

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!!!!!
