New Beginnings

After ten amazing years with the love of my life, at 30 and 32, we finally said our vows and made that lifelong comittment that already existed.  Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more.  The love between us as well as our loved ones was evident throughoiut the day and I will always cherish the memories made.  Our honeymoon continued our blissful state.  We drove to Holland, MI and then to Chicago and explored our favorite windy city.  Our life since then has been such a blessing.  After being together for ten years, I didn't know if being married would change anything.  I always knew I would love him forever and that this was it.  So to me, why would anything change after we sign a piece of paper?  It still amazes me how wrong I was.  Tim as a boyfriend and then fiance was always so sweet, affectionate, compelling, intelligent, and he challenged me to be a better person.  Tim as my husband is still all of those things and more.  It is difficult to put into words, but we have this whole new outlook of always taking care of one another.  We are a unite, a family, and we strive to be the best version of ourselves for the other person.  Don't get me wrong, we've been married 3 weeks and I know how this goes.  There will be days we wake up and want to strangle eachother, but we will also never stop fighting for the love we have.  To add to that, even with the hard times ahead, we don't want to live hard nor good times with anyone else.  

In addition to our nuptuals, we move into our newly built house in exactly two weeks!  After living in Novi, Michgan for one year, I have learned two things about myself: 1. I don't like living in areas where I feel like you have to keep up with the Kardashians; 2. I need to live closer to family.  Not necesarrily in the same city, but I love how close we are and an hour just isn't close enough.  So we decided Fowlerville was our best option.  Our house sits in a neighborhood surrounded by beeautiful green grass and contains newly built houses with a suburban character..  Our green house with black accents is just waiting to be lived in and we cannot wait.  

The final new beginning for now is our desire to grow a family.  Which is what my posts will be regarding for a while....or until we get pregnant.  Fertility is not something every couple has luck with.  For some, it's as easy as breathing, for others it is a three year struggle.  I am not sure what ours will entail but for me to process it and grow from it, I need to write about it.  My hope is that I can provide some comfort to others who struggle and hopefully together we can get through that dream that many women have........to have a baby.

A Competent Cervix Success Story After a LEEP and IVF

  We all know Dr. Google can be pretty negative when all we really want is to find some reassuring news. This was all I wanted when I found out that the combination of my LEEP procedure (scraping early Cancer off my cervix) and IVF can lead to an incompetent cervix. An incompetent cervix is when your cervix basically can’t handle pregnancy and you deliver early without typical contractions.  My OB informed me they would be monitoring every two weeks from weeks 16 - 24 to measure and make sure no folding occurs. What did I do the minute I got in the car? I searched for any success stories, which ended up being hard to come by. My hope is that my success story will reassure others.  Biweekly Monitoring If you find yourself in this situation, you’ll get to see your little every two weeks with cute ultrasound pics included. It was really nice getting extra face time with our growing peanut. We also got to see his heartbeat  and, after three losses, this was really reassu...

Hello there, Mr. Needle

It appears this body is not a baby making vessel. After 4 months of pills, injections, and assuming everything was a sign I was pregnant, not a single positive pregnancy test has resulted. Please don't be sad for me, though; I was secretly worried we would get pregnant, and I couldn't let that negatively affect my sweet boy. Plans B (IVF via embryo adoption) and Plan C (infant adoption) both would have similar, special stories in how they came to be which is what I prefer. Blood and DNA have nothing to do with family and just because we can't get pregnant "naturally" doesn't mean Edison won't have a sibling. So here we are at Plan B and I am so ready. I think..... My New Daily Companion Look at those beauties. Ever since I knew we were pursuing IVF, I knew injections would be part of it. It isn't like I haven't stuck a needle in me before. I did it once a month for several months. This is different, though. These will be a daily part of my...

This is Infertility

I watched 3 YouTube videos on how to give myself an injection on my backside - This is infertility I’ve been injecting my body with hormones and taking pills because it’s broken and doesn’t do it on its own. - This is infertility I gave myself a pity party and cried because after 3 weeks of injections, there was a thicker and longer needle that would soon be part of my daily routine. I was tired of it all and just wanted to not have to do this. - This is infertility I follow a group of women on social media where some are just starting their journey and some have had it far worse than I have. I even have family and coworkers on their and we each know things about one another that those close to us may not. These women inspire me and sadden me because none of them deserve this. -This is infertility I get mad when people who constantly choose other people or things over their children yet continue to procreate. -This is infertility Pregnancy tests give me anxiety. -This is in...
