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 […]

This was a busy week. But a very good week. I had my cousin’s baby shower at my house this weekend. A lot of extended family attended that had not seen my house yet so it was nice to show everyone the house. I did some small, crafty decorations for the party. My aunt and […]

Pregnancy Week 15

OFFICIALLY IN THE SECOND TRIMESTER!!! This week, I am feeling a lot better. With that said, I tried to eat chicken and I found myself still not really able to stomach it unless it is smothered in something. Such as BBQ sauce. My eating has been everywhere and it’s really starting to take a toll […]

Pregnancy Week 14

Well, I very quickly found myself back at the OB’s office this week, even though I was just there last week. I was sitting around the house on Sunday and I noticed that I was having some discomfort…down there… It wasn’t horrible, by any means, I just knew that it didn’t feel right. It was […]

Pregnancy Week 13

This is the week we have been waiting for! I’ve been particularly excited for this week because I will be towards the end of the first trimester, I get another ultrasound, and I will find out more about my cyst. We still have a baby! I was so excited. As soon as the ultrasound tech […]

Pregnancy Week 12

Some exciting changes for Week 11. Today, Scott starts a new job. It was expected, but unexpected at the same time. He is going to work at Bachman Chevrolet, which is where he worked at prior to Montgomery Chevrolet. He worked at Bachman for about 8 years I believe. He left there because of some […]

Pregnancy Week 11

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 […]

Alright so things about week four that have been exciting….fatigue. So damn tired 24/7. It sucks. I am usually go, go, go and now I’m like no, no, no. Other than that, I’m okay and do not feel much different. Something somewhat off topic, I am so ashamed to say that I have not been […]
