Truffles and I are so thankful.

Well, this week was filled with highs and lows. The high point being when we realized that we somehow had miraculously conceived without the help of IVF or any fertility treatment.

Look at me not shying away from the subject! Look at me being NORMAL! He was open to talking about it, a li.

Just looked in on him five minutes ago. Sleeping peacefully in his nursery. This time last year I was about 33 weeks pregnant. Babba has 6 teeth, 4 up, 2 down. And today he stood on his own for about 3 seconds! I love him so much.

My perfect, miracle daughter. My perfect baby girl is here and is just over 4 weeks old. My pregnancy continued to go pretty well and I managed to work until just over 38 weeks. Right at the end of my third trimester, my fluid retention did get ridiculous and I could barely stand my feet and legs were so swollen, but other than that, I had a healthy and happy pregnancy.

A journey through IVF and infertility. Baby Jake is here! August 7, 2014. So in love with this guy. Nights are very rough and so is breastfeeding, but I love every, single second of it. Especially when he stares into my eyes and smiles at me, I would do all those IVF cycles and labor over and over again, it was SO worth it. Induction in 2 days! July 29, 2014.
