Day Two In The Hospital

After having 30 minutes of sleep our first night, it was a tiring day, but it was still awesome to open my eyes and see my son across the room. He is such a little miracle to me. 

I felt really good the first two days because they kept my epidural in so I was numb and in no pain. While this was awesome, it was hard for me to not be able to care for my son. Every time he cried, my mom or a nurse had to get up and change him, or bring him to me, and that was hard because as a new mother all you want to do is rush to your child for his needs.

The nurses had told me that I would be getting up for the first time soon and that freaked me out because I'd heard horror stories about how much that hurts.

Adam continued to sleep, and we stared at him constantly. He's just so adorable!!!


That night, my friends Christina, Gwen, and Ashley came up to see him. We had a good visit but man, those pain meds were making me LOO-PY! I remember feeling so out of it, like I was talking, but I had no idea what I was saying, and I don't remember much of the conversations that we had.
Good times!!

    It's definitely funny to bring up conversations we all had that day & realize that you don't remember any of it. :-)

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!!!!!
