Being Thankful

So, I have been so excited with my pregnancy and the coming of the little one that I almost forgot about how hard it was for us to actually get here in the first place.
It was a year and one month ago (August 19Th to be exact)that I went to my first OB apt. and told my Dr. I...WE wanted to get pregnant. Then started the blood testing, stupid hormone pills and continued blood draws for 9 months.
Its amazing how time flies, but back then I thought this day would NEVER come!
I just can't believe a year ago we thought we would never get pregnant and now I sit here LARGE and uncomfortable because OUR BABY is kicking me in the ribs :)and I bought my first pack of diapers, wipes and desitin last night!!
.......................... Who would have thought?................
I'm so thankful that this has worked out for us and that we didn't have to wait any longer :)

Also I thought I should let you all know that September is PCOS Awareness month, which is the condition I have and part of the reason I started this blog in the first place. Because when I was struggling it was nice to read other PCOS blogs and know I wasn't alone.
There isn't much publicity out there for people with PCOS, no walks or major publicized fundraisers, but I think its good to get the word out there so this is me doing my part. Someday when I have money I will be able to donate it!



IN BABY NEWS:
Ean and I attended our first birthing class on Monday night, It went really well and made me really anxious and nervous for "D" day! It was nice to be able to ask questions..or have other people asking questions, all of us in the class are first time parents so it feels like we are in the same boat and no question is a stupid question! Ean enjoyed the class as well. He said a few words and watched the birthing video without passing out. Our next class is on Monday again and this time we are working on breathing and Lamaze stuff....should be interesting! Ive decided to use an ultrasound pic of the baby as my focal point during contractions!!
I think we are going to sign up for a nursing class as well, Ean is not to thrilled about going but I told him he had to go so that when the baby wont nurse and Im freaking out he may be able to remember what we learned in class. I think Im more nervous about nursing then giving birth.

Yesterday marked 8 months!! whoo hooooo :) Ill be posting a belly pic soon.
