Getting Close!

So I have made a *HUGE* dent in my to-do list over the past two weeks. A lot of it is because of my awesome friends who made decor and helped me set up the nursery, and I also was able to get all of his stuff washed. It took *MANY* loads of laundry but I have officially washed Adam's:

Blankets
Burp cloths
All clothes up to 6 months (he has A LOT of clothes)
Hats
Mittens
Bottles
Pacis
Wash Cloths
Booties
Bassinet sheets
Towels
Receiving Blankets
Crib Sheets
Bibs
Socks

MAN! That was a lot of work!!

The only thing I have left to do in the nursery is:
-Hang Decal
-Buy a trashcan and put it up
-Put the glider in there (I'm picking it up tomorrow morning)

I have some more to do on the to-do list but I'm making SERIOUS progress! If I can get the decal up, the nursery will be done by the end of this weekend and ALL of his stuff will be ready for him.

I also got the bassinet ready, too. It has a new clean sheet on it, fully equipped with extra sheets, pajamas, wipes, cream, and diapers. The storage underneath has become quite handy! He will sleep next to me in the bassinet for the first couple of months before I move him to the crib. I hooked his little soothing sounds lamb on the bassinet so he will be hearing familiar womb sounds to help calm him. I'm hoping this will help him sleep. I really can't imagine the shock of being out in the open after 9 months of a warm and comfy womb. Poor baby. I'm hoping swaddling him will also help with that.

On my night stand I also have a mommy basket, fully equipped with maxi pads, nursing pads, nipple cream (gross), lotion, and hand sanitizer. I'm also going to put a trash can in my room so for late night changes, I won't have to walk all the way to his room to throw his diapers away.

So yeah, I'm feeling great! I am so glad I am getting this all done now so I can relax and just rest until he comes! And if he chooses to come early, I'll be ready!

YAY productivity!!

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!!!!!
