I'm pregnant....

I found out yesterday, I'm pregnant? I put that as a question because I've been through this before. We got pregnant a little less than a year ago. I have reminders from when i had an amazon registry and my old pregnancy app. Sometimes e-mails come through and give a little sting - today I got one saying our baby would be 7 weeks old today. The pregnancy was ectopic and I had to have surgery on my left tube to remove it. My tube, thankfully, was kept intact. However, this is why I am such a nervous nelly right now. The chances of having another ectopic go up when you've already had one.

I know I shouldn't just be negative right off the bat, but it's hard not to remember and not want to get excited too early on. My test was also a faint line yesterday, today is slightly darker but still not as solid as I would like it to be. Calculating days, i would only be 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant, so maybe a faint positive is just normal that early on?

Anyways, I am trying to stay positive and I really want to tell people (I've told my husband and my BFF's but nobody else). I can't wait to tell my mother-in-law especially but I don't want to get everyone excited and something happen again. One of my bestie's Marsha Bear is pregnant and due in July. She started a blog with her experience with IVF. I thought that maybe this would be a good way to get my anxiety and everything bottled up inside... OUT. I figure if I can keep myself stress free by releasing all my worry into words... it can only help.

17 Weeks - Please welcome...

Please welcome... Zoey Kathleen Rojek! Yes, it's a girl!!! My gut feeling was correct. Everyone is thrilled. We did a wonderful dinner at Chima with the Rojek family. The lovely, babcia (she requests this as her nickname for her great grandbaby) is down here to stay! My mother-in -law picked out Grandma for her nickname. Me? Just call me Mom. Wow, that's so strange to say. I'll have to get used to that one. Grandma (MIL Christine) set up a wonderful reveal with a box and a balloon and a cute little poem to say: Our Little Miracle Precious baby Tiny Treasure  You bring to us Joy beyond measure.  We stroke your cheek, Feel your face And pull you into A loving embrace. You laugh outloud And giggle a while You bring to our faces Grins and Smiles. You shed a tear We wipe it away And thank Jesus for you Every day. What a blessing You have been You changed our life And made it begin. It was so sweet and reading it over...

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

Mother's Day & My Birthday

I woke the morning of my birthday, May 12th (ironically also Mother's Day) around 3 am and passed a blood clot the size of my palm. I was 100% sure I'd had a miscarriage. I went back to sleep and when I woke, I spoke with Chris and we both decided we should go to the ER. Long story short... A small miracle but the baby was in there and doing fine. Heartbeat and all! ❤️ Best birthday/mother's day gift.
