I'm BAAAAAACK!

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

  1. I loved the update and all the pictures! Uploading the pics is always a huge pain. A good tip is to write up your whole blog, then add the photos. Then go into HTML mode, and copy paste the codes where you want them. Instead of the click/drag nonsense of compose mode. I hope to see more updates soon :)
