Wow! It's been awhile since I've last posted. Wish I would've came back to this blog sooner because I've had one hell of a year so far! Well I'm sure at this point I'm blogging for my eyes only, which is nice because I can rant on as long as I like and wont sound like Debbie Downer.
So...biggest news of all, We're pregnant!! We found out New Year's Eve and I took about 7 pregnancy tests, which to me were all "is that one line or two?" So we bit the bullet and got a digital pregnancy test, which of course gave us the desired outcome! A bit of a surprise although it's the best kind of surprise you could ask for! I was accepted to the culinary program at RCC and unfortunately could only attend for about 3 weeks because once the morning sickness kicked in...whoa! Seriously, EVERYTHING made me sick. Not just food, everything. People, cologne, bathrooms, gum. You name it, it made me sick. So that dream of culinary delight has been place on hold for now to expand my already amazing family.
Skip forward about 34 weeks (can you tell a pregnant woman is blogging, as we refer to time in weeks!) I have experienced at least 28 weeks of severe morning sickness, kidney stones, and broken bones. Oh wait...did I mention that I had to have surgery for my "broken bones"? Well, yes I did. How did I brake my ankle you ask? Well this would be the time that I should come up with some awesome story about how I was water skiing naked or working on my "Dancing with the Stars" routine. Nope, that's not how it happened at all. Simply put, I stepped off a curb. Went down like a ton of bricks. Broke my ankle in two spots, dislocated, and tore the ligaments in my heel. I required surgery. Which was terrifying considering I was 22 weeks pregnant at the time. Well...I don't want to dwell on that for too long because that was seriously 8 of the longest weeks of my life!
As of today I am 34 weeks pregnant and feeling tons better than I was a few months ago. It has been a very tough road, but I have no doubt what so ever that when I hold my daughter for the first time everything I've had to go through will be but a distant memory, replaced by a lifetime of happiness. Yep, we're having a girl. WTF...a girl? I had a feeling that she was a girl all along because of how sick I was and my pregnancy with Evan was nothing like this one. A little girl, the thought still makes me terrified. Girls are a whole new ballgame for Chad and me! We'll be fine though, and I already know he is going to be the best Daddy ever.
Okay...enough for today, as I have been ordered to rest by all of my loved ones (and doctors) for other issues that remain present ( we'll discuss that at a later date) Hopefully I'll be back soon, even if it is only for myself:)
Love to all,
Jamie
