Mood Swings, Here I come

Well, I started off my glorious Monday morning with a fun visit to my infertility doc. He drew some blood and did a vaginal ultrasound which still showed a ton of cysts and a thicker endometrial lining. So he thinks that I just didn't have enough lining to shed last try so I am fortunate enough to get to take provera again starting today!!! Thank goodness since the hot flashes actually just stopped yesterday and I was already missing them. Who wants to sleep through the night and wear weather appropriate clothing???

So, I take my crazy pill for another week and then call him on Day 1. Sad that a month is no longer made up of dates, but cycle days. Then we'll schedule my surgery FINALLY!!! I never thought I'd be so ready to let someone cut on me. But we have a vacation planned for June and I don't want to have fresh scars on the beach! Good news is that he had mentioned putting me on birth control pills for a while to reduce the number of cysts I have, but this visit he said we wouldn't have to do that. So I'm hoping we'll get this done the beginning of May. Until then, I have some mood swings/hot flashes/depression to enjoy! Don't worry if you don't hear from me for a while...

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

The Resurrection

So here we are. It's now a blog graveyard. The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids). So why am I here and writing again? What's the purpose? This was my safe place. It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort. I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me. I still love and have always loved this blog. It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now. Because life is freaking TOUGH. You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"? Yeah, I feel that in my soul now. I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...

Santa Claus

I miss blogging. It's just that I'm trying to minimalize the busy-ness in my life right now because the holidays always make me overwhelmed. Like I get a bit crazy. All the gift-giving, shopping, parties, family, friends, drama, food, etc. Sounds fun to most people but I just do better with simple. And that word hasn't described my life since giving birth 3 years ago. Sooo, I go missing from time to time, but I keep up with everyone else's blogs! This was my mom's attempt at a Christmas card with the kids. It looks like they were decently enjoying it but the truth is both kids were having fits for absolutely no reason. She used it anyways. My ornery little stud-muffin playing on the stairs. Graham having a VERY rare fit. I had to capture the moment. Sweet sibling time in pajamas. Times like this one melt my heart and make me feel good about my decision to have two kids. Graham was tota...
