1. It turns out I don't have PCOS, so thank you for the mind f#@k Dr. Who Will Remain Nameless. This is absolutely good news, just a bit embarrassing that I even went through all the "whoa is me" emotions over it. We are back to the unexplained fertility diagnosis which I will admit is disheartening. After a few failed attempts at IUI my anxiety is winning and I'm already ready for a break. I know God will give us another baby when the time is just right, so I do feel I'm able to let go and let Him. For now ;)
2. My family has moved 3 times in 12 months. We now live in our dream house and are trying to rid our lives of additional blood sucking property as quickly as possible.
3. Jonah is still amazing. I'm so thankful I have the blog to look back on his first year and a little remorseful that I took this hiatus. It seems he is picking up a word a day- he's up to probably 20 words by now including: baby (one of his favorites that he says each time he sees a photo of himself or any other "bebe"), more, water (wa?) banana (bana?) hot dog (which sounds a lot like his impression of cookie monster), wow, bath (ba?) open (opie?), bye, hi, please (bees)... I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
He's recently taken an interest in animal sounds- especially lambs! He has a stuffed lamb he took a liking to a few months ago who now goes by "Baa". He can imitate a cat, an elephant, a tiger, a lion, and a duck (which sounds like a lamb with tourrettes... "baa baa".
He still goes to bed with a bottle and I'm not sorry about it. OK I would like to say I'm super mom and have that in the bag, but the truth is it's not hurting him and it makes bedtime so wonderful for all involved... my incentive to change is nonexistent at the moment.
Until next time...! I promise to get you caught up to speed :) xx
