My First Missed Period

It was just a normal Friday at work. Every teacher waiting for that dismissal bell to let school out for the weekend, including me.  One thing I was prepping for that nice earned weekend was a retched period however.  I've never been a fan of those things, but then again who is?
This one felt different though... Here's a little backstory to get you caught up. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for roughly 8 months by now  I had a miscarriage which resulted in a D&C around 11 weeks in September 2016.   Other than that I was a healthy female with regular periods like clock work.  And when I say clock work I mean clock work.  3 weeks 3 days and BAM there Aunt Flo was.  Five days of bloat, and other not so nice things and I would be in the clear till another 3 weeks 3 days.  CLOCK WORK.
But like I said, this one felt different.  I had no normal here comes the time of the month pains and symptoms.  So hey, what else could a missed period mean except I'M PREGNANT! I took 9 tests that weekend, and searched for the faintest positive lines ever.  In fact I got line eyes.  That's when you see lines despite your husband and girlfriends sweet "No's".  You can file line eyes under hopeless despair. 
By Monday I realized with the overwhelming anxiety(more so then normal) and sleepless nights, acne, and extra hair growth around my hairline, that something was NOT right.  Immediately I called my doctor.

In my heart

That's where you are growing. You're in my heart with every pump that gives me life. You're in my dreams every time I doze off into a deep sleep. You're in my thoughts when I look at my empty hands and think how I'll get to hold yours. You're in my words when I talk to anyone about my future, hopes, and plans. You're the reason I was created.  Every fiber of me was made for you .  To be your Mom and for you to be mine .   I smile already thinking of how this world will touch you, and I feel so special knowing it is me that has been chosen to watch this happiness. I vow to celebrate the sunshine of your life everyday.  Whether that comes in sunny days, school grades, or celebrations. I am joyful because of you. I laugh already thinking of how silly you will be, and I feel so joyful knowing it is me that has been chosen to enjoy life with you.  I vow to laugh until we cry all the time.  Whether that comes in funny jokes, my goofiness, or your d

Refuge

This blog has been my place of refuge. My place where I can break down yet still feel taller than the skyscrapers. My place where I can be angry with the world, yet find peace. My place where I can yell at the top of my lungs for the world to hear, yet whisper things I only want myself to know. It’s the place where I’ve always been, 100% TRUE TO MYSELF. What’s being true to myself even mean though? It’s funny how life TRULY works. We all get so caught up (I’m GUILTY AS CHARGED) in our lives “plan” . We’ve got dream boards everywhere . We compare ourselves to our friend’s lives . We try to measure up to what our parents told us we should be. We find that quote on Pinterest and live roughly 7 hours positively till we see that person on Insta who’s killing the game of life . We remember all the peoples “well wishes” or “congratulations” when we hit milestones . We push ourselves forward with the condolences from loved ones during the rough patches . We get angry and entit
