WOOHOO!!!

YEAH!!

I'm finally Done!!!


For those of you that didn't know, I have cut myself off from most of the social media world for the last few weeks in order to study for the BOC ATC exam. It's the big final certification test for my schooling that I should have taken a LONG time ago but honestly I keep chickening out. I was worried I wouldn't pass it so I decided not to take it at all. HA! Not such a great choice. Anyway, I finally decided it was time now that baby is only 3 months away so I took the plunge and registered. And now it's finally over. I don't know that I passed it (and won't for a little while) but I was able to convince myself that my self-worth is not wrapped around whether or not I passed this test. So I took it and now it's done. :)

And now the Fun begins!!! In order to force myself to study, I didn't allow myself to do hardly anything baby related for the last few weeks. Unfortunately this means my To-Do list is a mile long!

.

I actually started making a list cuz Pregnancy Brain is a REAL THING Y'ALL!! and I'm SO forgetful these days!

But the neat thing is that they're all baby related and I'm genuinely excited to do them! I get to make a blanket and a bunch of decor for the nursery and I'm even kind of excited to clean my house. haha. All I wanted to do for the last three weeks was clean my house. (Excuse me, but who are you and where have you taken Jessie Cheney Smith?!) 

So now I get to do it all!

Maybe that makes me weird, but it's getting down to crunch time and I've gotta get ready for this little guy to make his grand entrance. I can not wait to meet him!! And if kicking me all the time means he's excited too, then he is. :D

Anyway, all done for now. I'll keep you updated on my projects. I have no idea how they'll turn out but I'm excited to try all this stuff from Pinterest!


(this one's for me for taking my test. haha!)

Our little grey circles!

The transfer happened this past weekend!! Yay!! I'm sure some of you are thinking "Yay! What the heck is she talking about?!" Haha. As a reminder... The short story of IVF goes like this.  Step 1- Take a bunch of drugs to make my ovaries over produce.  Step 2- Collect the eggs via surgery.  Step 3- Fancy (and expensive!) doctors take Justin's sperm and inject it into the eggs in a little petri dish.  Step 4- We wait patiently while they grow.  The next step happened this weekend! They take the now fertilized eggs and put them back into my womb to hopefully implant and grow!! This is also the "moment of conception" for us. A woman will likely have lots of eggs fertilize in her lifetime but she doesn't get pregnant if they don't implant. So this is it! The funny thing about it is that Justin wasn't there. :( He had an appointment at work that couldn't be changed so for the rest of our lives we will be able to joke that Justin wasn't ...

Me No Likey

Oh where to start... In the "It finally started" post I said that I had finally started the process of IVF. (clever title, eh?) I also said that I hadn't really felt anything so far. Well, turns out I either jinxed myself or it was just too early to tell. I didn't have crazy effects, but one night I did cry all the way through "Master Chef" which is not really a crying show. haha. I also felt super "off" on Thursday. I'm not really sure how to describe it except to say just that. It was weird and I stayed in bed all day and cried and ate Blue Bell. I guess that's not the worst way to spend a day but it wasn't very productive either. haha. The shots got easier and easier to give myself up until I had to start taking the cetrotide. I only took it twice but both times it stung going in and lasted way longer than the others. No bueno in my book. The next new shot I had was the trigger shot. It came a day earlier than expected but that end...

All we know is...

The results are in folks... YES! We're pregnant!!! There are simply not words to describe how I feel about this statement. One I've been wanting to make for what seems like forever. One I've heard from so many of my friends and family that made me want to cry. One that seemed impossible to make. And one I am finally able to say for myself. I can't even believe it. We waited 2 LONG weeks to find out whether or not our little frozen circle would become our miracle. And when I say long, I mean long. Especially when I was supposed to start my period on Friday. Last Friday. So usually when you're trying to get pregnant, you wait till the day your period is supposed to start and you wait... If it doesn't come, you run to the store and buy that expensive little stick and awkwardly try to pee on it. (Maybe they aren't really expensive, but it kinda seems that way, right ladies??)  Anyway, then you wait a few minutes and see what it says. I...
