Nicole is coming to town!

Nicolie Olie is coming to town! (in my head I am singing that along to 'Santa Claus is coming to town...) LOL. Colie is coming to town for a WHOLE FREAKIN WEEK on Dec 4th!!!! Ever since Colie moved to Colorado I have felt that a part of me has died. I know that sounds really pathetic but Colie is my best friend and has been there for me through every single thing. Once she moved I lost my girl talk and all I really have around me is a house full of boys (and we all know what men talk about....... video games, not exactly my cup of tea). But ANYHOW, my best friend  is coming home for a week and I intend to spend every free second of mine with her and Olivia (jaces girlfriend). So seeing how it is a couple hours till THANKSgiving I thought I would let my bestie know how grateful I am to her for always being there for me, and for having my back throughout our teenage years... and for letting me know what an idiot I was being in high school and keeping me in check. Thank you Colie Olie O for being my sister and staying by my side and crying with me and laughing with me and having a baby with me! lol. I am so grateful for little Liv. LOVE YOU COLIE O and I CANNOT wait to see you!

Many months & many tears

As any mother would know after you have your first child and you see them growing up you really start to miss when they were so tiny and snuggly. Well for the past couple of years I have been trying to convince the hubby that it was time to start to expand our family. He wanted to wait till Jace was 2. So once my little boy turned two I went and got my IUD taken out and the journey began. I seriously thought it would take no time at all before I would get pregnant, boy was I wrong. Month after month I would cry and did not understand what was going on. I wanted to be pregnant so bad, and nothing is worse then being late and then getting negative after negative tests. A few months ago I started working for a doctors office and heard so many things about thyroid issues and how it can make you infertile and as I started to think about it I noticed that I had a lot of the same signs of hypothyroidism that the doctor would talk about. So, I scheduled an appointment to have blood work done and low and behold I have hypothyroidism. Doc put me on levothyroxin to help balance everything out and within a few days I had finally gotten a positive ovulation test! Hubbs and I knew this was it. This was our time to MAKE a baby! Within a few weeks I was tired as crap, the smell of food made me sick, and of course I was 5 days late. First thing in the morning on Oct 11 I took the test and I could not look at it in fear that it would be negative. I finally got enough courage to glance over and....

We are due June 10th 2013. As of today 11/11/12 I am officially 10 weeks along and feeling huge (BLOAT). My cravings have kicked in already and we made our first midnight run to Burger King last night. Jace is not fully sure how he feels about mommy having another baby... he tells me all the time that he doesn't want a brother or sister... So I think it's going to be a little tough for my little boy to accept.
