12 Weeks

I cant believe I am almost out of the first trimester! Things so far have been pretty good? I have the usual early pregnancy symptoms, nausea (but no throwing up!) tired all day, but cant sleep all night! this one is probably the most annoying right now. I really am having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. I am usually a good sleeper. But it probably hasn't helped that my little 2 year old has been super sick and not sleeping well either.

I went to my 12 week appointment this week, its amazing how nervous I get, I kind of go there expecting to be missing one baby or BOTH babies, I guess that is just part of the gift of infertility that keeps on giving! constant worry and fear for the worse! But, luckily, everything looked great! both babies were measuring a few day ahead of schedule and their heart rates were perfect!

here are some pictures of the ultrasound AND I am already feeling like a bad mom, but I cant remember which baby they said was baby "A" and which was baby "B"! Is that horrible or what!? but baby "A" or baby"B" I love them both the same.

Potty Time

Here's the situation...

I DO NOT WANT 3 KIDS IN DIAPERS!

Here's the dilemma... I tried one day of "big boy" underware with Auggie and he only went in the potty ONCE and peed his pants all day long! What do I do!? I need some serious help in the potty training department! I feel like I don't remember this at all with milo? I was thinking of trying some instructional DVD's that would get him "pumped" to go pee-pee in the potty! but I have no idea where to begin?

So if any one is reading this... and you have any helpful ideas, please let me know! I'm desperate! I have about 5 months to get him OUT of diapers! HELP!

New Blog Name... new attitude.

So, I have been thinking ALOT lately about this whole crazy infertility world. I have read so many blogs about others and their challenges with infertility, pregnancy, loss etc... And I would get a little overwhelmed thinking of all the grief that we go through or may go through!

So I heard this song.....Now, hear me out here, I'm not some big obsessive Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana fan. However. I was listening to the song of hers tittled "The Climb" (Dont mind the video, just listen to the words!) If you haven't ever listened to it, I suggest you do, especially if you are of ever have faced infertility or the challenges that come with it.

And this really made me think. Isn't that what we are all in the process of right now? Our own individual "climb" and I feel that the Infertility "climb" has to be one of the worst out there. I found myself feeling bad that I was at this point of the "climb" when so many others out there were still lagging behind a little. But then when I look back a the "climbs" that I have made, I find it amazing that no matter how hard it was, or what the outcome was, at some point, I turned around, and did it all over again! And I know of, and have read so many other fellow bloggers, who have done the exact same thing in even harder circumstances than myself. I am so inspired by so many of you out there!

So, that is my reason for the name change. I just felt that it is more fitting for this type of blog that deals with struggles of infertility AND pregancy!
