My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

20 Weeks! Half way already!

I can't believe we've made it this far already.  20 weeks, the half way point!  It really seems like we were just finishing up the IVF cycle and waiting on the beta results!  I have to be completely honest, I've loved being pregnant!  Granted my pregnancy has gone so smoothly that I don't think anyone could complain if they had a pregnancy like this.  At times I feel guilty that it's been so easy.  Many, many women have the complete and total opposite experience.  1-2 days of nausea is all I experienced.  As long as I had food nearby and could keep something on my stomach I felt great.  The "worst" (and I use that term very loosely) has been the exhaustion.  Like I needed another excuse to take a nap in the afternoons!  :o) 

I can't believe how fast the first half of the pregnancy has gone.  I'm sure the second half will be the same, well maybe up until the last few weeks anyway!  A week and a half left and we'll have our next ultrasound and hopefully Baby K is cooperative and shows us the goods!  I can't wait to find out whether we're team pink or blue!

Here's this week's token belly pic.  I think it might be slightly skewed...I did just eat a Blizzard from DQ before taking this.  Oops!  :o)  Hey, the baby needs calcium right?!?!?!
