So looking back on this time last, I was huge and pregnant with DS. We were counting down the days until he was born, and we were worried about the future. What had we gotten ourselves into, how were we able to take care of a new innocent baby. The army had turned Hubby down, and we were struggling to get by.
I was willing to scarfice anything to give Buggy a happy healthy life. And sacrafice we did, with tears and fear. Then Hubby got his new job, we moved, I got to be a stay at home mom. We have enough each paycheck to pay all the bills and then some, we have health insurance, we are settled.
This time last year, I was afraid of the future. This time next year, hopefully I'll be proud of the past. And expecting another little bundle of joy!

Well hello there TTC#2
So Hubby and I have been talking about giving it ago for baby number 2. (actually its been on the to-do list since December when I stopped taking birth control) and we were honestly suprised when my lovely periods were drawn out 30, 40, 50! days apart. So into the doctor's office I went.
He took one look at my blood results (which were not to pretty) and told me I am suffering from a thing called PCOS, or Polycystic ovary syndrome. Basically here are the main symptoms:
Acne.
Weight gain and trouble losing weight.
Extra hair on the face and body. Often women get thicker and darker facial hair and more hair on the chest, belly, and back.
Thinning hair on the scalp.
Irregular periods. Often women with PCOS have fewer than nine periods a year. Some women have no periods. Others have very heavy bleeding.
Fertility problems. Many women with PCOS have trouble getting pregnant (infertility).
Depression.
Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful, but lead to hormone imbalances.

Basically my body is not creating the hormones needed to ovulate, which as any junior highschooler will tell you, is a very important part of baby making. My body is producing extra hair (gross I know) I am border line diabetic, and I need to look those jelly rolls I was talking about.
I am trying to look on the bright side, at least i know what the heck is going on in my body, I have one beautiful baby boy whom I love with my whole heart, and all hope is not lost in giving him a brother or sister. My doctor is hoping to see us knocked up with in the year. I am taking metifomin to help kick start my body. It will happen.
People are already asking us when we are going to start trying for another one, i dont know if that is a key mark of your baby turning one: "Hey H and N, when ya going to pop out another one since it was so easy for you the first time" Um... let me get right on that.
Then there are the people who say that God makes everything perfect and if and when the time is right it will happen. Ok, but if its flooding and there is a boat, wouldnt you want to hop in it?? I understand that he controls everything, but sometimes modern science can help it along. I think they think because Buggy was so easy to have that every other baby will be that way. He was just a miracle. A huge blessing, and a lucky accident. One I am so thankful for!
At least hubby is understanding and willing to do what ever he needs to help us become a family of 4. And i love him all the more for it!
