I love Maternity Clothes!

Just a quick little post about how much I love maternity clothes... especially my secret fit belly capris! When I was pregnant the first time it was mostly summer and I only had a few capri pants and some shorts that I wore all the time. My favorites were these secret fit belly denim capris - I wore them all the time! Now, with this pregnancy, I have been trying to put off wearing maternity clothes as long as possible - and I don't know why. I have been going around being all uncomfortable and huge feeling with my ponytail holders holding my pants together trying to do the job all by themselves. Then today I read my pregnancy journal from before and at 10 weeks (where I am currently now) I posted that I bought my first pair of maternity pants and I commented that I couldn't believe I waited so long. So today I dug out my bag of preggo clothes and MAN! I feel so much better! I feel skinny and cute and so very comfortable! So for all of you gals that are just finding out you are expecting or you may be getting pregnant in the very near future - take my advice and put those preggo clothes on EARLY. You will be so glad you did! And to all my friends just get ready to look at these same denim capris for the rest of this pregnancy because I plan on wearing them all the time! ;)

Krajcimama said...: I LOVED my Maternity Clothes, too. I didn't know I was pregnant with twins until I was 18 weeks and was a little upset I had to break them out when I was only 8 weeks pregnant but I loved the comfort but not the price - sooo expensive to buy new!

I'm a new reader - look forward to learning more about you and you little ones! Just thought I'd say hi. :); February 11, 2010 at 11:05 AM

5 Years of Infertility

Brent and I had dated for years - since my senior year of High School and were finally married on September 27, 2003. We had been together so long that we decided we would start a family immediately. Things turned out to be a bit more difficult than we planned. After many years of trying and medical intervention I was finally diagnoised with Endometriosis in Feb. of 2007. My disease was severe - stage 4 and had spread to my liver. After having exploratory surgery Dr. Cook thought that my ovaries and tubes were capable of functioning properly enough to produce a pregnancy but with the hostile environment inside of me I would need lots of help. We began Lupron therapy that would last 6 months as a way to try to "kill" off some of the endo. When the 6 months was up we began rounds of Clomid with IUI (Intra-Uteran Insemination). We did 2 cycles of this with no result. Our only other option was IVF which we decided to begin in January of 2008. After carefully following the treatment schedule of meds. and shots we had 14 eggs retrieved on Feb. 5, 2008 and of the 14 eggs 6 fertilized and became embryos. On Feb. 8, 2008 Dr. Gill transfered 3 of the best of the embryos. Two weeks later (Feb. 22nd) MaryLou called with the good news that my pregnancy test was positive!!!
