The past few months have been extremely hard.... to say the least! So... in a nutshell (think of this rambling like the one Owen Wilson does in Marley and Me - LOVE the movie!)
FEBRUARY
- Got a BFP!!! First cycle TTC after our MC in October!
- Started spotting two weeks later.
- Went in for ultrasound... measuring a week behind. No HB.
- Started bleeding heavily the next day.
- Miscarried the 3rd week in February at around 6-7 weeks gest.
- Agonized over this... but knew that it is all in HIS plan!
- Swore off anything having to do with TTC.
MARCH
- Started planning my sister's baby shower
- Cooked an impromptu dinner for DH's birthday - Chef Boyardee and grilled cheese, LOL.
- Got a HUGE snow... Made a snowman with my baby.
- Started rennovation of our backyard. BEFORE PIC.
- Started panning for a Southern Living party that I was hosting. (Can you tell I was trying to keep busy???)
- Got observed twice in one week at work... I am a teacher.
- The next week I had a Data Notebook to turn in and got my yearly evaluation. (STRESS does not even cover it!)
- Anxiety REALLY starts getting to me! It always does around a month after my MC's... I think it's the hormones.
- Successfully hosted the shower and SL party. Had a GREAT turn out for both (: My sister is having a girl... Ashlyn Vivian and the theme of my SL party was Chicks and Chocolate!
APRIL
- Mine and my sister's Birthday and Easter all on the same day (:
- Played with our dog... WALKER!
- Spring Break! Had a blast with my darling son (: (I can feel the stress melting away!)
- After an endless round of POINTLESS Dr appointments I came to terms with the fact that there is nothing wrong with me and how LUCKY I am to have my son and husband... our lovely home... our loving families.... our jobs!
I have realized that I cannot spend every waking hour obsessing over something that I have no control over. If it is meant to be then it will happen. I am taking time to appreciate everything that God has blessed me with and just go with the flow. I can't even begin to think about being pg again... it scares me honestly. So for the time being we are not TTC but living our lives and having fun (:
SIDE NOTE: I gave up on the pictures because it was taking WAY too long! If you know a better way to add them please let me in on your little secret!
Love, Jenna
