The Real Deal.

So, it's no secret that it's been a good long minute since I've been pregnant. Brody is now 11 and a half, and London will be 9 next month... This factory has been closed for quite some time. But man, I completely forgot what pregnancy symptoms felt like. The constant nausea, hunger, cravings, weight gain, and overall super emotional state of mind is something else. Maybe it's just been a while, or maybe this is what it's like when you don't have kids when you're still a kid yourself, but man... these symptoms are no joke.

I will take these symptoms any which way I can get them, because it eases my paranoid mind and sort of gives me reassurance that everything is still on track and all good, but I'm not gonna lie, I won't be super sad in October when they go away. haha!

Next up on the agenda is another ultrasound on Friday. If everything checks out like we hope it will, I will officially be released from my RE and Fertility Monitoring Clinic, and will become a regular old OB patient just like all the 'normal' pregnant ladies.

Two weeks ago I went back to daily injections and all was well for a while, until suddenly I woke up Saturday morning and things were no longer good at all. I ended up with some massive knots (think like, the size of softballs) under the skin around my hips, and unfortunately they were so large that I couldn't even find a safe place to poke, so my nurse gave me the A - OK to be done with those pesky needles 5 days early! I could barely move and wasn't exactly walking very well for several days, but I was PUMPED to kiss those babies goodbye! About a week left on the super fun suppositories and then I will be med freeeeeee and celebrating with some alcohol-free champagne! Did y'all know that was a thing? If not, you're welcome! ;)

I think that's all I've got for now. I'm dealing with some MAJOR insurance/OB drama, which I could use some positive vibes for.. but I'll save those details for later (or never, we'll see ha!). Send me your good juju for Friday too please!
