A look Back...

  In order for me to blog about my life today, I need to give you a quick look back on my life then. My husband and I met almost 10 years ago on Match.com. Yes it works! and now they should give me a royalty for mentioning that! He is 9 years older, however you would never know it.. I had endometriosis really bad and two years in to our relationship I was told if I wanted kids I needed to start trying now. Two years later, months and months of fertility drugs, 2 failed rounds of IUI and a successful round, we found out we were expecting Big B so we decided to get married. That was May 14, 2005. Big B was born November 15, 2005. He was born 1 year to the day after Daddy D's dad passed away as well as this is my mothers birthday. It was a great day.

While I was pregnant we moved from Fayetteville, where I had graduated from the U of A (on my wedding day; walked that morning got married that night) to North Little Rock where Daddy D is from. All of our family lives in central Arkansas so it seemed like the right next move. We have been here ever since and I am glad we made the decision. 

  The endometriosis continued to get worse. I had three laparoscopies to try and relieve some of the pain, but nothing helped. In April, 2010 I had an abnormal pap smear. It turned out to not be anything to worry about, however my Dr. strongly suggested I have a hysterectomy, I was 30 years old. I called my husband that day and told him I did not want a hysterectomy without trying for another baby first. We immediately went to the fertility clinic and within the month we were pregnant! It was a miracle.. Success on the first IUI round this time! Baby J was born February 11, 2011. I now have the All American family, a boy and a girl, with a great husband.

  Now know that there are a lot of details left out that I plan on incorporating in future blogs. A little glimpse into the past to make the future make sense. Plus, there are a lot of details and I would run out of my character allotment!

  Until the next post, I am very blessed to be a Mom With It All! Good Night!
