Well today starts my weekly OB visit. What this really means is that we are nearing the end of pregnancy and headed for the big day. It was very exciting well the thought not all the dotorish stuff. But I did have the pleasure of seeing our beautiful baby on ultrasound, we found out she is just a little over five pounds currently and looking very good. There is nothing quite like seeing that little heart beat on a video screen, it is truly amazing. It honestly feels like we were just having our first visit with the fertility office in Cincinnati, I can remember how anxious we were at the possibly of being pregnant. The staff at the office was so amazing. Things seemed to just fall into place from that first visit, a month and a half later we were staring at a small black dot on an ultrasound screen and after five heartbreaking years we were able to announce that we would be having a baby. The last 7-8 months have been a whirlwind of growing, and new experiences. I feel so blessed every time I feel a kick or a movement, I am going to miss that feeling the most. But, we are so ready to meet her. I think our families are too. (We are so grateful for all the love and support that our wonderful families have given us!)
We are on the countdown.....see ya soon Kylie.

Things that make me smile
Here are just a few little things that make me smile........... when my husband calls me slim (which happens to be my nickname right now), when I get home from work and my dogs bring me squeak toys like a present, singing really loud in the car, my unborn babe kicking in response to her daddys voice, my mom calling me for no reason but just to chat, family jokes, christmas lights, seeing people do good things for no reason other than to be nice. I find that sometimes I am to caught up in things that dont really matter, so I did not get the house work done yesterday..........guess what its is still here today for me to get done. I am a blessed and lucky person. Take a moment to think of what makes you happy, it will put a smile on your face.

Me........if I am still in there.
Let's start by saying I am by no means a writer, I don't say things properly or spell well, I have terrible grammer and I am generally not funny. I thought this would be a great outlet to share my story and maybe make me feel better on days when I cannot seem to express what I am feeling. I also thought that it would be a good place to share pictures and tid bits about me and my family.
I woke up today knowing I was going to be in a mood, I dont know the reason for the mood I just knew I was in one. I have been though a lot in the last few years some things were self inflicted and others just poor luck or timing. I consider my life to be very good and most of the time I feel so blessed, but with that being said I also think that I have seen rough times. I am not looking for a pity party, just stating what is true. Today I am feeling a little lost. I feel like my life is all about being pregnant........which dont get me wrong I love. My husband and I have battled with infertility for almost five years and the miracle of being pregnant is more than I could ever hope for. It is all we have wanted for a long time and I am very happy. But.... where did I go? I feel like it is all I talk about, read about, get up in the morning and do. Today I told my husband that I could not remember anything I like to do before pregnacy.... thats not good I dont think. Maybe I have been stuck in the house for too many days in a row, I feel a little stir crazy, maybe I am just ready for her to be here so we can move forward into the next step. (I do feel a little mean and selfish stating these things out loud). Huh? I am not even sure what to say know. So here is what I decided to do, take the day off. I have played games on the computer, I started a blog, and I plan to do some yoga later. I am going to crank up some music and dance. I am going to silly and relish these few moments I have left to be me. Thanks babe for reminding me of the things I liked to do before I was pregnant.
