16 Weeks!!!!!

Today it's official...I'm 16 weeks pregos.

I just had my check up yesterday and things are going just fine. I'm still not feeling 100% so I'm on a 5mg of prednisone to keep the nausea in check. Last Friday was a horrific day. I worked a night shift and was not feeling well most of the night. As soon as I got home at 5am and was feeling horrible - I couldn't keep anything down until after 1pm that afternoon. Let's just say I had a bad run in with breakfast potatoes that took me 45 minutes to make and then about 30 seconds for them to resurface. But I did manage to devour a delicoius ice cream cone from a small town dairy bar. Just a little quaint town a few miles from where we live where all the high school kids go to during lunch since they can't drive off of school property during school hours.


So, with feeling so ill lately my love for cooking has taken a back burner. I have no energy to cook or even drive to the grocery store. My laundry has been sitting on our laundry room floor for almost 2 weeks now and the piles continue to grow. At one point they were separated by colors, now there is a white pile and a pile of all the other colors in one. Our dog can barely get through to his food and water. I feel so bad for him....so on my next day off, I HAVE to do laundry....and pack the rest of the house, because we are now down to 24 days until we close on the house. Which in terms of my work schedule and my husbands we will have about 5 days to pack everything and clean....Stressing!!!!!


But on top of it all, I'm 16 weeks and no belly. No little baby bump. But I'm okay with that. During my check up my Dr. thinks that I won't show very much since I've been having a lot of back pain which means I'll carry the baby towards my back. Yay for me right? Can you see it now, the epidural not working and me screaming in pain because of the back pain....oh I can't wait!!!


But I'm still working out at the gym and teaching about 3 classes a week, and now that the weather is starting to get nice again, I went for a run with my husband and our dog, Cutter. He's a Labrodoodle - more lab than doodle :) We have a 5k race planned for the evening that we close on our house. A great stress releaver and better yet, both sets of in-laws are joining us too! It's truly a family affair.


Until next time...enjoy the sun, enjoy the rain, enjoy life....

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t...

Happy Valentine's Day.....just a little late

Valentine's Day is my least favorite "holiday." And I say "holiday" because it really isn't a holiday at all. It was invented as a commercial holiday to sell more cards, over-priced chocolate, and unforeseeable prices on flowers. Up until this year I had never gotten actual roses on Valentine's Day. And no, they did not come from a man. My amazing dad, along with my precious Miss K, got me a dozen roses as a surprise when I got home from school. We had to celebrate a day early because of my school schedule, but the flowers were definitely a surprise. I made Miss K's valentine's as I always do for preschool and daycare. I'm trying to be a Pinterest mom when I can, and I'm very proud of these. Not a ton of work, but it just took some planning. With all the pressure to "have it all together," and I totally don't, I attempt to make up for it with these simple, yet time consuming valentine. My Non-Traditional Vale...

Pre-school & Perfection

Today was a monumental day. K started her last year of preschool. With a birthday being in October, she has the wonderful opportunity of being in preschool for two years, instead of just one. I am very lucky to live in a town where we have so many great options for PreK instruction. But today, I was a mess. I overslept, and forgot her new backpack at home as I was rushing out the door with my backpack for school. I got into the parking lot and realized, "Oh f*&%! I forgot her backpack!" Such a trivial item, but it would be so important to K. A and K had been waiting for me, at our intended meeting time of 7:55, because I insisted on being early to take pictures, and here I was the one who f'd up, and didn't wake up on time. I was so focused on what I forgot to get done and didn't do, that I neglected to embrace the moment she was experiencing on her last first day of PreK. Thankfully, I remembered the "First Day of School" sign I bought two m...
