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 again makes everything so real. I can't wait to meet you, little Zoey. 

We got a few shirts for Chris, the new DAD... gotta get used to that one too! I will attach some of the pictures below.

On another note, I can't believe it's about a MONTH until I go back to CT to visit everyone. I am beside myself with excitement! I miss my family so much, you never really know how much you miss people until you are far from them. While being so close to them, i definitely took that for granted. And my friends! Ugh, I haven't found ANYONE as amazing as my friends from Connecticut (and NY... looking at you Arianna!) I wish I could transplant my family and friends closer to me and my new family down here. However, it has made me appreciate all of them that much more!

Without further ado... pictures from the reveal dinner:

36 & 37 weeks - Let the countdown begin!

Ahhh... so much has happened. I can't believe I've been so negligent about the blog!! First thing is first... I have my induction date! We will be heading to the hospital 7 am on Friday, December 27th. I spoke with the doctor and nurse midwife and they confirmed that she could be born either the 27th or 28th depending on how far dilated I am that day. They checked me last Friday and he said I wasn't quite dilated yet but they will continue to monitor the next 2 weeks. If I go in and I am still not dilated, the plan is to give me a magic pill to soften things up, spend a long boring morning/afternoon in the hospital waiting and then they would start me on Pitocin (essentially Oxytocin to get contractions going) either that night or early the next morning. So... if all goes according to that plan, she will probably be born sometime Dec 28th - which is also my Mother-in-law's birthday!! She's excited to potentially share her birthday with her Grandbaby. However,

5 weeks, 5 days

So... this is feeling real now. It's still VERY early and I haven't even had my first ultrasound yet... but I feel very pregnant. My chest is killing me, I can't wear a bra around the house because it's too much. I have some nausea (no vomiting, thankfully) and some aversion to smells - today my husband made this "Chicken Pot Pie" soup and it smelled SOOOO bad, like cat food.  I have to hand it to Chris though, he's being so good about making sure I am comfortable and doing things around the house. I can't imagine doing this without him.  He finally let me tell his mother, I've been dying to for awhile now... but he's so hesitant because of what happened last time. I definitely understand that. I'm reluctant myself. I've only told Ari, Marsha and now my Mother-in-Law. It's hard because the more people you tell, if something goes wrong... it was hard last time to have to let people know. It's better to wait and be 100% tha

11 Weeks!!

Okay, I've been sooo bad with posting. Partly because I have to do this on my phone, and I HATE having to type out long entries this way. I finally gave up and downloaded the Blogger app because I really want this account to be something to share and look back upon. So.... What's been going on?! Well, everything is progressing well. I've been off and on nauseous, boobs are huge and sore, my sense of smell is amazing and I hate the smell of fried 🐔 chicken. No huge cravings but my blood test showed a high level that put me on alert for possibly developing Gestational Diabetes. This means changing things up with my diet... Yay. Avoiding lots of carbs and sugar mostly. Another thing... Because of the prior DVT clot, they have me on Lovenox to thin my blood. It's a fun shot I take every night that burns. My wonderful husband gives it to me. It's annoying but I know it's the best for both the baby and I. Oh, Chris made me amaizing little candles from my Oui Yo
