Support

I really need to say how much I *really* appreciate EVERYONE'S support. People are emailing, texting and calling me and genuinely interested in what is going on in this crazy journey of ours. I'm very grateful for all the prayers, well wishes and happy thoughts. I can feel everyone's love and I can't wait to bring a life into this world so they feel your amazing love as well. 

xoxoxo to all of you! 

Hardest Part ...

You know what could be the hardest part about not getting pregnant, or being a parent? Seeing people who are awful parents. It's just the worst! There are many times my husband and I are saying, "Really!? They are having a baby?" or "They're parents?! But not us??" 

Now granted, we are not going to be perfect parents ... I really don't believe there is such a thing as a perfect parent. It's not just the really awful parents who abuse their children. But people who keep their children away from family and friends (who are good, normal people) and bring them around people who children shouldn't be around. Or people who use their children as pawns (example: "You can't watch my kid tonight when I want to go out? You can never see my kid again!" And then they keep them away for long enough, so the person feels obligated to do it next time.) Or parents who aren't working AND are not actively looking for a job. If you have a child, you should be taking any job that comes your way ... hell, any 3 jobs that come your way!

That's just my rant today. Just annoyance in some so called parents. But for all those parents who are out there who are doing their personal best for their children, you go guys! You rock! :)

The Pinterest Curse

Is anyone else out there obsessed with pinning baby stuff? I mean, I'm truly obsessive with it. I have baby room ideas, baby shower ideas, gender reveal party ideas, ideas for when they are older. Just ridiculous. Sometimes I think, "why am I pinning all of this?" and get semi depressed. But then I know, if I'm unable to have a baby myself, we'll adopt and that child is going to be super Pinterest hooked up by his/her parents :)  

I'd love to follow you (even if you don't have baby pins, haha). Go ahead and follow me too! http://pinterest.com/cupcakecutie/   (Don't worry, I have more than baby pins!)

Keep pinning! ;-)

Happy New Year!

It's that time again ... time to make resolutions. I'm normally horrible at this but, with really wanting to have a baby, I've got to stick to them. Basically my main resolution is to eat healthier and exercise (which I'm sure I share with 50% of the population). Not only will this help me lose weight, which I'll need to do to help get pregnant, but it will help me stay healthy, which is what I need to do if I want to be be an awesome mom and teach my child to be healthy.

I got some interesting, yet amazing advice which I'm totally going to follow. I normally hate advice, but this made me laugh, and made sense (don't mind the cursing, that's just how she is, which I LOVE) :) -

"Here goes the best piece of advice I've heard given and seen work.....develop an exercise routine...a consistent 4-5 days a week 45 minutes or more. Relaaaaax.....drink lots of water and stop thinking about it ....fuck for the pure pleasure of it.....there is something that happens with endorphins produced from good workouts not to mention the sexy feeling if you happen to tone anything....fuck cause your horny and feel sexy I promise you it will happen...words of wisdom from your RN friend. Relax, forget it and it will happen....happy new year.... I swear I've seen it work..sadness, anxiety, urgency to make it work ruins your chemistry"

Sounds about right to me! :)

Happy New Year everyone ... here's to an amazing year!
