Easy Street

Knocking on wood as I write this...

I feel like this is the easiest pregnancy that has ever occurred in the history of procreation.  And it happened spontaneously.  No doctors, needles, medications or ultrasounds.  My charts were put away and my thermometer never left my drawer.  In fact, my RE doesn't even know that I'm pregnant this time.  This girl seriously won the fertility lottery. 

So I expected that it would be a miserable pregnancy.  Only seemed fair really.  And I don't think I would have even complained if I'd been plagued by morning sickness, out-of-control mood swings, and extreme fatigue.  

Paisley was a booger to get, so I was blessed with a great pregnancy with her which only seemed right.  Even then, I dealt with continuous nausea until 14 weeks, back pain that made my legs numb, and a funky heartrate that earned me a heart monitor several times. 

This time, the biggest complaint that I can possibly come up with if I'm being super creative and nit-picky is that I've had round ligament pain.  Several times.  Not enough to ruin a day or even really comment on.  I just didn't have it last time.  Otherwise, I feel completely normal.

Which in a way is a bad deal because it's hard for me to remember that I actually have a little being growing in there who is sooner rather than later going to come forcing their way out!!!

  2. YAY! You deserve it! I had an AWESOME pregnancy with Addy and she was conceived the easy peasy way too, lol! I was tired - but I'm pretty sure that was at least HALF due to the newborn I was caring for as well! I felt SO blessed and I look back on my pregnancy with nothing but love and joy. It totally makes me want to do it again - but not NOW, lol! Enjoy it, momma!

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
