OMG! A whole year and a half has passed! This blogging thing has totally gotten away from me. Gosh, so much has happened and I honestly cannot fill in all the blanks but I will try my best.
~April 2009~
I was promoted to a new government job with CE. I am currently still there. Kendrick and I also decided it was time to make Madison a big sister. All caution has been thrown to the wind. We vacated to Panama City Beach, FL for a Jazz Festival and had a wonderful time. Madi enjoyed every minute of it. She loves music and loves to dance. It was a nice family getaway.
~June 2009~
I started pursuing my MBA with the University of Phoenix ONLINE. This was a major step for me because I never really thought about furthering my education past my BS. But I figured, if I want to advance within civil service, I better get my masters out of the way. So far it has not been easy and it has been quite an adjustment. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!?
~August 2009~
Well, my 30th Birthday is here and it's time to celebrate! A few of our friends met us at LaRouge for a night of Jazz entertainment and dancing. It was a lovely evening....Thanks to Kendrick!
~September 2009~
Celebrating 5 years of marital bliss! We took another family vacation to St. Augustine, FL. It's a nice little historic town with a beautiful view of nature's works of art. Still working on #2 and getting discourage. Planning to go see the Dr. for help. Madison is OFFICIALLY potty-trained, YAY! We are extremely proud of her.
~November 2009~
The Dr. has put me on Metformin (a diabetic drug) to help regulate my system and get us on the road for possible conception. Clomid is later added to help with ovulation.
~December 2009~
We are headed to Houston to spend Christmas with Kendrick's family. We all go to Kevin's and Jackie's in Wharton to see their new house. Madi gets to see her PawPaw and Gammy B and love on them. It was good to spend the holidays with family. Lots of good food and treats as well.
~January 2010~
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Man, 2009 flew by. We chilled with our neighbors and played games with the kids to ring in the New Year. Kenly Arie Willis is born, January 15th. Congrats to Rico and Qiana! After taking Clomid with no avail, I give up on the Dr.'s help and also find out that our insurance does not cover fertility treatment. : (
~February 2010~
Kendrick turns the BIG 30! I threw him a surprise birthday celebration. We had game night at our house and I invited some of our friends over for a night of fun-filled conversation and games. Kendrick was totally suprised! Ever
yone brought a dish and we shared ice cream and cake with the Birthday Boy. Madi celebrated her 3rd birthday with a Princess and the Frog themed party. We met up with some of her friends at Johnny G's for entertainment. I received a recommendation to assist with conception from a friend on BabyFit. She told me to try Maca Root, a natural herb that regulates your hormones and restores your cycle. What the heck, I'll try it. What do I have to lose? Wow, it really does restore your cycle! I guess I will stick with this...Maca Root.
~April 2010~
I've been pee-ing on a stick left and right because AF is late......super late! After 4 weeks and no positive test, I take a medication to bring on AF. We get sad news, Kendrick's father has passed and we spend a week in Texas with family. We also get to meet my niece, Kenly, for the 1st time. She's beautiful and loves to eat. Upon our return to Georgia, I notice that AF is still not here, even after taking the Rx to bring it on. Weird! I have one more test left so I use it before preparing for work. OMG! 2 PINK LINES! After a whole year of trying, we are finally get the results we have been praying for! The timing .....Umm...we will not get into that. I have mixed emotions now and don't know how to feel given the past week's events.
~July 31, 2010 (we are up to date...finally)~
Well, I am 18 weeks along in this pregnancy and it has been waaaaaay different from my pregnancy with Madison. As a matter of fact, it has had me in the dumps. No morning sickness but everything else from indigestion, sour stomach, and acid reflux to constipation. It has affected my appetite, I have lost a few pounds, and I am walking around like a zombie. JUST SICK! How could such a miraculous thing make you feel like CRAP!? Lord, I thank you for my blessing to mother another child but OMG! As I quickly approach my 5th month, things are getting better. Madison is SUPER EXCITED about becoming a big sister. She tells me that she has a baby brother in my tummy and loves on my belly regularly. I guess we will find out the gender at the end of August or the beginning of September. I am so looking forward to it. : ) Baby's Due Date is January 3rd, 2011 or some time during the last week of December 2010.
