Ok...so there's another reason

I have been a bad blogger recently. A lot of it has to be with going back to school and getting in to the swing of things. Part of it has been due to children that just wear me out.  However, there is another reason.

One of my followers actually commented about a month ago and hit it dead on. 

I am finally to a point where I feel comfortable letting the world know.  Believe me, after almost 3 years of trying and always hearing the answer is no, after 2 specialists, 1 surgery and tons of medication and adjusting medication, it's hard to believe that the answer was finally yes.  I have tried not to stress over the fact that this could be a fluke and that something is going to happen.

But at 14 weeks, I am still trucking along with great results at every visit.

My husband and I are expecting our first child and we are absolutely thrilled, ecstatic, amazed and blessed beyond belief.

Above is little bit at just 7 weeks. We had just found out and my fertility specialist wanted to do an ultrasound for extra reassurance.   Below is little bit at 10 weeks when I was released back to my regular OB.

Our next ultrasound will be in November when we get to find out what little bit is. And I am already making plans for a "Ties and Tiaras" reveal party with my family and close friends.

We have been waiting for this day, pretty much, since the day we got married. We knew we wanted a family and had NO idea the troubles that would lie ahead. As hard as it was, I kept my faith and constantly told myself that God has a plan for us and all things happen in His time.

So, there is my other reason. I have also been blessed with no morning sickness, however, during the first 2 months, I was nauseated and dizzy almost every day. It was worse when I didn't eat right away. In July, I found myself napping for about 2 hours in the afternoon then going to bed early. So you can imagine how going back to school in August really messed with my napping schedule. By the time I got home every afternoon, I passed out.

It's getting better and I'm slowly getting back into the swing. I just can't wait for March (hopefully little bit will actually come during Spring Break-I don't want to waste my maternity leave) to get here. I plan on taking off through the end of the year and returning in August.

Before going, I just want to say thank you to my patient readers who still stop by when I actually do post. I promise I'll have some more meaningful posts again soon as well.

Enjoy your weekend.
