Remember when I used to blog here???
My "baby" boy {Gavin} is turning three THIS week! Three!!!!!!!!! This blog started with our journey to Gavin and now he's almost three. Oh.my.goodness. This kid just goes and goes and goes. E-ven-tu-ally he hits a wall and crashes. He's not a big proponent of sleep but desperately needs it. He also isn't a big fan of eating. Snacking? That he does. He gets that from me. He also sleeps in our bed. If I'm being honest, I really like it. The hubs is gone for work often and I get lonely. G sleeps better (read: longer) which means momma gets more shut eye. Win-win.
I'm pretty boring. I rock a mean pair of yoga pants/stretch pants daily. Sometimes I brush my hair. I try to shower every other day. This parenting gig is no joke. A ton of few tears have been shed over the exhaustive nature of this job. I was also not prepared for how hard it is to make decisions. Preschool vs homeschool. Co-sleep vs him alone. Homemade foods vs processed foods. Screen time vs no screen time. Aaahhhhh!!! It goes on and on. Every.single decision is a battle. Oh and did I mention I'm pregnant again. Yeeaahhh, so there's that too.
Yeah. Me either.
I haven't purposely abandoned ship and I don't even have any decent excuses for my silence.
I could say I don't have a lot of time. But I do have time, I just choose to use my downtime to catch up on Vanderpump Rules and every franchise of Real Housewives that exists. {Quality entertainment, people!}
What I lack is the mental capacity to formulate complete thoughts and sentences to make up a worthy post.
I know. I know. I just suck.
Let me give you a little bit of the haps here in Infertile Momma land...

Baby {Madden} is literally called "Baby." He knows his name but we don't use it too often. Despite his rough start, he is perfection!!! He has no ill-effects of his prematurity. He's all caught up in his gross and fine motor skills at almost 20 months {17 months adjusted.} The doctors are all very impressed. He just recently started using useful sign language {"more" and "please" versus "fish" and "bird."} My chubba wubba baby loves to eat and sleep. So opposite of his brother. Praise sweet baby Jesus for at least one kid that likes to eat and sleep.

We're "those people." $20,000+ spent on IVF/FET and I'm naturally pregnant. We're shocked. I'm almost 10 weeks. Two ultrasounds so far show us I'm right on point. I won't breathe easy ever again until we have our NT scan and make sure the likelihood of any trisomies is low, very low.
So...as if I didn't feel like I was failing at being a mommy enough already, we're adding to the mix. Wish me luck. Say some prayers. And stay tuned for more of our kind of crazy coming your way.
