1 Day left until we become parents to a TODDLER!!!!

Seth's BIG birthday is tomorrow! It seems like yesterday that we brought him home. Brian and I were just talking lastnight, before we went to bed, about the days surrounding Seth's birth. It is supposed to be 45 degrees tomorrow and I think that is great weather for his borthday. It was cold when he was born and even snowed the day after. We talked about how it was cold the day he came home from the hospital (2/1/10). It seemed like forever for the car to warm up. Poor Brian, he was a wreck! He just kept saying, "We have some precious cargo in here." It's all so fresh in my mind that I wonder how I have let a year pass by. This day, the 27th, a year ago was hell for me. The waiting was craziness! I wil share the entire story tomorrow to mark the 1 year anniversary. We are having a party for Seth on Saturday and we have about 66 people coming! WOW! I have my hands a bit full, but Seth is so worth it!

It's been too long!

I started the blog in 2009 as a way to archive the events leading up to Brian and I becoming parents for the first time! As I usually do, I didn't follow through! Here it is January of 2011 and I have no progress with this blog. I guess better late than never! Life is crazy busy since Seth's arrival! Seth was born on January 28, 2010 at 3:18pm weighing in at 7lb 3oz and 20 inches long. My little baby will be 1 in just 4 short days! WOW! Where did the time go? It has been an interesting year for us, to say the least. When I returned to work from my maternity leave, my job was less than pleasant. I quit and decided to try my hand at being a SAHM! It is a real experience let me tell you! There are days that I want to pull my hair out because we just sit at home and stare at the walls! Then, there are days that I thank God that I have had the opportunity to stay at home with my son for almost a year! I am working really hard at getting back to work, though! I have 2 job interviews set up for tomorrow, so we will see what comes of it! I guess I can say that Brian and I have been dealt some rough hands in life, but somehow we always find a way to push on and make it through. I would like to share more about Seth's birth story and I will, just at a later time. I know it happened almost a year ago, but I feel that it will be a great story to finally tell on the one year anniversary. I promise to keep up with this more often! Until next time!

Our first road bump!

I had an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday July 15, 2009 and I thought it was just routine. The tech said the baby looked goo and the heartbeat was 176bpm. That is awesome. I got a call from Dr. Super's office on Thursday and they informed me that the minor separation in my placenta had gotten smaller. I was confused since I didn't know that I even had a minor separation to begin with. They conveniently forgot to tell me 2 weeks ago that there was a slight problem. Well, it did get smaller, but I am a worry wort. The nurse said that there is a chance that it will correct itself since it has already started to do so. They will need to watch me and will do another ultrasound on August 14, 2009 to see how the separation is doing. I just want to be normal and have no problems. I am just hoping that it all turn out OK.

We're finally pregnant!!!

So, it took5 months of clomid to do the trick and here we are. I am 10 weeks pregnant with our first baby. It has been a long road to get here and I am scared to death. I was diagnosed with PCOS in November 2008 after 5 months of trying to get pregnant with no success. I was completely devastated because I was just sure that we would never be able to conceive. Well with a little help from my friends metformin, clomid, and preseed we were finally able to conceive in May 2009. I discovered I was pregnant two days early on June 2, 2009. I was in complete shock. I was convinced that we had failed once again. Ten weeks later and I am still trying to absorb the thought that I am going to be a mom. I had my first visit with Dr. Super on July 1, 2007 and he said that the baby's estimated arrival date is February 9, 2010. We are so very excited to finally have good news to share with our friends and family. I am content to shed tears of joy instead of sadness!
