19 weeks 🄭
Almost half way there. I stick by wishing I could be someone who truly enjoys pregnancy, but unfortunately I never will be. Still sick, still in so much pain. Thankfully my cervix hasn’t shortened more & the meds have calmed my contractions. His little kicks have gotten stronger & more noticeable, though still can’t feel them from the outside or see them. Everleigh is anxiously waiting until she can feel him kick. She loves touching my belly daily, kissing it & talking to her baby brother.

Finally caved and bought a pregnancy pillow today. I chose a wedge form so it supports under my belly & back while I toss side to side like a rotisserie chicken all night 🤣

Still don’t like food, but am able to stomach some coffee now.

Baby shower for Ohio family is planned by my lovely SIL & BIL. We will be having one for our NY friends & Family mid November, so invites will hopefully go out for that in the next couple weeks. ā¤ļø

The first trimester- minus all the vomiting & crying. šŸ˜… Well, one photo is William and I camped out at the toilet as I couldn’t stop getting sick. I haven’t been taking photos much at all, because HG is hell. I’m sick & only time I’m not is when I’m sleeping so I’m either awake trying to survive or asleep. I hope the second trimester is better & I can get back to some sort of routine. I actually really miss cleaning the house. Thank you to everyone who has showed up, sent money for DoorDash to make things easier , brought over ā€œsafe foodsā€ and checking in. We are so blessed.

Four years ago, I was diagnosed with infertility — a word that shattered me in ways I can’t fully explain. I grieved the possibility that I might never experience this kind of joy.

But here I am, sharing the most sacred news of my life:

I’m pregnant.

This miracle has come after years of heartbreak, tears, and prayer. It’s the moment I’ve dreamed of — and it is not lost on me how precious this is.

That said, this journey has also brought one of the most physically and emotionally demanding battles I’ve ever faced: hyperemesis gravidarum.

HG is not ā€œmorning sickness.ā€ It is debilitating. It has taken me to my knees, kept me from doing even the simplest daily tasks, and isolated me from life in ways I didn’t expect.

But despite the nausea, the IVs, the weight loss, and the exhaustion…

I am carrying a life.

And I am so incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your patience while I’ve been quieter than usual. I’ve been navigating the hardest chapter of the most beautiful story I’ve ever been a part of.

This little one is already teaching me strength, surrender, and a love I can’t explain. ā¤ļø

Miracles exist. I’m growing mine.

Fourteen & a half years ago, you were in basic training & we religiously wrote letters every single day. We exchanged promise rings & you would always promise me that you would marry me. While life separated us for a while (way too long), it eventually brought us right back where we were always meant to be. Suddenly it became so clear why it never worked with anyone else. It was always you. You still had the promise ring. Yesterday, you took a step to fulfill what you promised all those years ago & asked me to be your wife. I’m honored & so blessed to spend life with you. I love you so much.

I’M A FIANCƉ Y’ALL!!! šŸ¤šŸ’
