A Big Suprise

I haven't posted in a while and that's likely because I have been so sick, morning sick that is. Yes, the impossible apparently was possible, the infertile fertile. I am unexpectedly but still happily pregnant. It was quite a shock to both me and my husband. I probably wouldn't even of known had I not gotten so sick and my office mate, and truth be told "work husband", kept telling me that I looked like I had morning sickness not a flare up of my condition, endometriosis. (He knew what it looked like since he has three kids).  He was right, and it only got worse. I spend most of my summer trying not to vomit everything I ate, every time I moved, which was as little as possible. Because of my PCOS (poly cystic ovarian disease) my first trimester was high risk (though I was 2 months into it before I knew and ironically had done everything wrong I probably could have done including falling down a large flight of stairs during that time). 

So I made it through and at my 30th birthday party instead of enjoying birthday margaritas I announced the big news to those who had not figured it out (when I am being social and don't have a beer its a give away). Don't let me pretend its been roses and butterflies. I have horrible morning sickness, migraines, my depression and anxiety as real as ever and I feel betrayed by my own body because everyone keeps telling me "don't do that" when I try to start one of my many projects on my to do lists. Apparently paint thinner and moving heavy things are frowned upon. I keep telling myself its only one summer lost, but it still stinks...

So despite my DIY pity party, I officially will have it all. A great career, a pretty beautiful home (still need work outside but lets pretend), my committed husband, my supportive family, my 'baby' dogs and kitty, and now a baby. I know, your gaging. I am too to be honest. But so it goes. So I may have some new adventures to post but I will continue to keep in the traditions taught to me. Hopefully I can pass down the values of a love of the outdoors, do it yourself mentality that I have been taught, without driving my technology based husband crazy.
