Patience: Not my Greatest Trait

Well, I am still waiting on the provera to do it's job which usually only takes 2 days. This time, we're already at day 5. Of course, the month that I am most eager to move forward, my body would put on the brakes... So I became one of those patients who can't help but call their doctor for stupid stuff.

Maybe I earned a phone call for all of the stupid messages I get every day. Examples of such messages: What other ways can you catch chlamydia? (NO- it does not come from toilet seats!!!) I think I had a stroke/heart attack, what should I do? (The ER is there for a reason.) How do I treat a mosquito bite? (Who cares?) So, maybe my phone call isn't all that ridiculous, but their answer to me was essentially to wait it out. If nothing happens by Thursday, I'm to call them then. Not that they'll be able to do anything about it since they are closed this Friday. But I guess just for fun. That way they can tell me to call them again on Monday.

In other news, I survived my baby-filled weekend without any meltdowns, temper tantrums or tears. I was more than relieved that all I really felt was excitement for my pregnant friends. I truly do not wish anyone else to deal with this, however, misery loves company. So I'm always worried that I'm going to lose my cool... So, if my body ever decides to get with the program here, I'll let you know what the next step is!!!

P.S. If you haven't gotten a chance to read the comments posted, please read the ones after the last post. One of my dear friends has actually stolen my thunder and is taking over my blog with his wittiness. I've asked him to be my "ghost writer", which would be far more entertaining than me.

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 roadside assistance without my pulse increasing ev

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and
