How this came to be

Years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) while managed it has very few effects on day to day life but because of the damage done to my ovaries I was told I would never conceive without some form of fertility drugs or maybe even more help. I was put on the pill to manage the problems and prevent further damage. I was always diligent about taking the pill. I knew I wanted kids someday and didn’t want to do any more harm to my body. To me getting pregnant was a dream I really never knew could/would become a reality.
The last week of 2011 and into the first week of 2012 I felt really sick. It would come and go sometimes feeling like a bad flu, sometimes I would forget I felt bad at all. I really didn’t put much thought into it. I was working out like crazy and food wasn’t really saying down but I couldn’t figure out why my tummy had a pooch was not my cute flat tummy. On January 8th I put my bra on and was shocked because my boobs looked huge…. Click! Feeling sick 24/7, poochy tummy, big boobs! The thought came to me that those were all pregnancy issues but I couldn’t be pregnant so I was just being stupid. I couldn’t get the thought out of my head so I got a box of pregnancy tests just to put the crazy idea out of my head.
I got home and took the first test. In seconds it turned to a plus (no waiting 3 minutes for me!) “Ok. There must be something wrong with that one, good thing it’s a two pack!” Second one turned just as fast. Well I thought my crazy body must have been playing tricks on me and the test so I went back to the store and got two more boxes. I took all four as soon as I got home. Plus, yes, plus, yes! Oh my!
I went to the doctor the next day to have in confirmed and yes there’s little baby growing inside me! I asked the doctor how and she told me that no form of birth control is 100% and I was just lucky. As far as my PCOS I am also just one of the lucky few that could get pregnant with it.
It all came as a big surprise to me but let me assure you I know how blessed I am. I feel this baby is truly a miracle. Everything was meant to happen just as it has and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve always wanted to me a mommy and even if I didn’t picture it like this my baby is a dream come true!

Big Changes!

Hello blog world! It’s been a while!
I started this blog a few years ago because I had made a huge change in my life and I wanted to talk openly about it. I am so thankful I had the chance to share my lifestyle changes, my weight loss and my new lease on life.
Well I am back once again to talk about my newest chapter. I’m going to be a mommy!
I’ve always been open and honest here and I plan on continuing to do just that. With that said I also feel that there are parts of my story that belong to me and my baby only. I will share as much as I feel compelled but may also hold back when I feel the need.
It’s amazing to me how much this little person growing inside of me has already changed my way of thinking. Not a second goes by that I don’t think about my sweet little baby. I feel an amazing amount of love for my unborn child, more than I can even put in to words. I am SO happy to be starting this new chapter in my life and can’t wait to see what this next year has in store for me!
