Guess Who's Back, Back Again?

Hello Again Everyone!

When you last heard from me, I had just had my beautiful rainbow baby girl. The past two years with her have been fun, frustrating, rewarding, tiring, and undeniably wonderful. Lucy is so smart and strong and curious; which also means she's also strong willed, feral, and alway getting into trouble. She will take down the patriarchy.

So as we come to January 2025, we decided it's time to start the process of using our frozen embryos to possibly having a second child. Now, I know it might not be easy and it might not even work, but we are going to try. We have agreed that if all of the three frozen embryos don't work, then we were just meant to have one - I really don't think my body can handle another process like that first one.

My first goal is to work on my weight again. After having Lucy, I honestly hadn't gained much at all during pregnancy and was doing good. But my OB had me go back on birth control to make sure my body had time to heal after the hemorrhaging during my c section and prevent and opps baby (ha! funnny, like my body doesn't work like that). So I took birth control during Lucy's first year of life and by the end I had ballooned, I think I gained almost 40lbs in that year. So that is my first project to tackle. I learned a lot about what foods are good for me last time but I think I'm also going to look into some new tactics to hopefully increase my results.

My Goals for This Year

1. Potty Train Lucy

2. Lose the weight I gained after going back on birth control

3. Start our next FET process, if not complete it.

*hopeful that maybe we'll be pregnant again by the end of the year (but I realize that's dreaming big for my body

we shall see what's to come...stay tuned!
