2020

I’m sitting at home. ALONE. ALL ALONE. L I T E R A L L Y A L L A L O N E. And it’s been such a great day. I have done so much stuff today that has really filled my cup up to make me a whole human being again. As I […]

one year old

After a hectic start to Jolee’s life…where are we now? Well, I did not keep up month to month posts with Jolee. So, we are pretty much going to jump from 4 months old to now…1 year old. She’s perfect. And feisty. And funny. And I love her so much. As I was editing the […]

Throughout the whole Jolee’s Journey with the Bottle…I have remained cautiously optimistic about the whole situation. She’s taken a bottle and then not taken a bottle and then taken a bottle again. I hoped this was the end of everything. I hoped she was really going to take a bottle forever. Well, not forever, but […]

Not too much new to report this week. Still feeling progressively better. I did however have a night that I could eat grilled chicken plain. Scott fixed it for himself and I felt like I could stomach it. While I was able to eat it, I had to bury it in my rice and mix […]

Pregnancy Week 10

I am continuing to feel progressively better which is nice, but also worrisome because I instantly think it’s going to be a miscarriage. I find myself having more energy, but still having food aversions. Chicken has been the worst food aversion. I used to eat it every single day. Now the thought, the smell, the […]

Pregnancy Week 9

Week 8 is the week I have been waiting for. We get to see if there is really a baby. And…there is! All measurements were correct. We got to hear the heartbeat, 178. Doctor said everything with the baby looked to be okay, so far.   But….there is always a “But” and it’s really frustrating. […]

Pregnancy Week 8

  The fatigue continues. I am constantly wiped out. I literally fall asleep on the couch every night at 9:00 p.m., then I get up and go to bed whenever Scott goes around 10:00 p.m. or 10:30 p.m. I have pretty much felt terrible this whole week. Not really nauseous, just so incredibly tired. Scott […]

Pregnancy Week 7

A trend is quickly forming. I find myself feeling okay during the weekends, pretty terrible Monday – Thursday, and then I rebound on Friday. Still the same symptoms. This week, I went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years. For real. Last week, I was at the dentist for 3 hours. I […]

Week 5 has been completely different than week 4. Big time not feeling good. Never to the point where I feel like I’m going to get sick, but definitely nauseous.  My boobs are super achy and feel huge. Still extremely tired. A couple of nights, I didn’t sleep very well. Also already had to get […]

Well, something fairly exciting has happened… For the fourth time… I’M PREGNANT!!! Official on May 29, 2016. Confirmed with a very positive pregnancy test. If you have kept up with my blog at all, I’m sure you can envision what my emotions are. Obviously happy. Obviously scared shitless. I was keeping track of my periods, […]

pregnancy test

Scott and I have “officially” decided to start trying to have another baby. As in, we literally took the plunge this weekend so there is no going back now… And I am scared shitless. I constantly question and “what if” every other decision in my life, so obviously, I would question this one. I don’t […]

I hope everyone had a nice, long three day weekend. I, for one, did absolutely nothing and it was fantastic. However, I feel like I ran a marathon and drank 34 bottles of liquor, when in fact, I did not. I literally sat at my house all weekend long, playing with Raelynn and watched TV. […]
