Little Bit About Me

My photo
First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.

Not "public" knowledge in the sense of the majority of those in real life knowing about it. If you can accept all that has been stated, sit back, grab a box of tissues, and be prepared to endure the rocky road of trying to conceive while trying to get out of the shadows of infertility.

27w Bump Update


Left I am 15w6d, Right I am 28 weeks.
This picture helped me realize how much my stomach had truly grown.
And then after changing out of clothes into PJs..
looking at my bare belly button...
I realized it is getting quite shallow.
This girl's turkey timer might eventually pop like people joke about!
So there you have it, look at my belly! I really have been struggling with just feeling F-A-T lately. Especially as the scale creeps up, and I just feel blah about my jiggly bits. I am 4 lbs away from gaining back the entire 17lbs I lost when I began my weigh loss journey. Oiy, so hard to see it keep going up! I shouldn't beat myself up over gaining 13 lbs when I am 28 weeks, but still...I have 12 weeks to go still!!

I drank a small caramel frappe from McDonald's today (yum!), and little man really enjoyed it. Soon after he started doing jumping jacks, or break dancing (who knows what goes on in there!!). It was awesome, except unfortunately for me I had to pee, and he kept bouncing on my bladder. So that meant no drive through at the bank, I had to go in because I had to go SO badly!

Nothing else really new on the baby front, there is still 18 days until my next doctor's appointment. I kind of feel like it is the calm before the storm and I need to get as much done around the house as soon as possible.

The nursery still sits untouched, but I am hoping to change that soon. Like Sunday or Monday. I hope to have it finished (or most of the way). For finishing before the crib this is what I have to do still:

  • Finish painting the yellow and green....maybe one coat more each, and the edges by the ceiling
  • Paint a fresh coat of white on the ceiling
  • Paint the closet a very light blue (after deep cleaning it!)
  • Buy the chair rail, stain it if needed, and get it cut
  • Put the chair rail up
  • Vacuum floor 
  • Clean the Carpet 
Then we can go pick up the crib and set it up in the room!! And I will feel much more at ease!

Ok, nap time for this momma to be, work tonight!
