Why The Hiatus?

I used to update my blog a lot more regularly than I have been over the last couple of months, especially when talking about the infertility stuff. Why have I been slow to update? Well, the long answer is, there have been a lot of things going on with me that I haven't been ready to share here yet. The short answer is, I'm pregnant!

After being diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) in January, my reproductive endocrinologist put me on Metformin and Clomid to try to get me to ovulate. Well, it worked and I got pregnant the first month on it! Pretty amazing stuff.

The reason why I decided to start sharing now is because I'm over 12 weeks along now. I'm in the second trimester.

Dan and I are extremely happy that we have a new little one coming to our family. I'm due November 15.

I haven't been feeling too awful. Just the normal tiredness and the nausea. It still isn't as bad as it was with Ethan though. So I'll keep posting as I know more, but things are looking good here.

Yah!!!! I am so happy for you guys. Do you knopw what you are having yet? How is Ethan's foot? Is he excited about becoming a Big Brother? Love you!!!

Thanks! I'm not really sure Ethan quite gets it yet. I tell him that there's a baby in mommy's tummy he just looks at my tummy and says, "I can't see it." Ethan is also doing pretty well. The cuts are almost healed and he's actually running...believe it or not. LOL. Kids adapt fast to everything. Probably won't know for another 7 or 8 weeks what I'm having. I think that's when they'll do the ultrasound.
