Our Story...

My husband & I have been married for 8 years & have been trying to conceive for the last 7.5. I have PCOS and hubby has an ok count but it's not great. We've had several tests, procedures and consultations that have led us down the road to one heartbreak after another. Right now we are currently awaiting the birth of our baby girl due to the miracle that is adoption. We couldn't be more excited!!!

New Years Resolutions 2012

2011 was not kind to us. We had surgeries, heartbreak, deaths and more sadness than I care to even think about. So I want to make 2012 a better year. I make usually the same resolutions every year and never stick to them. So I hoping by actually writing them down I'll be held more accountable.

1) Lose weight. I need to lose a significant amount but I don't think it will all happen in 1 year so I'm shooting for a smaller goal of 40 pounds.

2) Be healthier. This is my overall goal with the losing weight and exercising more.

3) Be more independent. I very often rely on others to do things for me or get things for me. So hopefully by being more active and doing more things for myself this will help with goal 1 & 2.

4) Be less sloppy. I'm a sloppy person. I rarely wear make-up, my hair is usually in a pony-tail, and my wardrobe consists mostly of t-shirts & jeans, and that's fine but I want to be the "pretty" girl that I used to be (or maybe just thought I was ;) lol ). So more time to make myself look better which hopefully will help me feel better which is again tied to goal 1 & 2. * Sense a theme here *

5) Get Finances in order. We want to try IVF or Adopt. We cannot do either until we are able to get a loan. This must be done first in order to qualify for a loan.

6) Make plans without canceling them because I *might* be pregnant then. I've let infertility stop us from doing so many things. Anytime anything must be planned 6 months in advance I always back out because this could be the month that we WILL be pregnant. That's never happened and I'm sad for all the things we've missed out on.

So this is my basic plan for the year. I hope that I'm able to accomplish all of these things and be on my way to a happy, healthier, life.

* As always my overall goal for the year is to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. I hope 2012 brings us closer to this goal.
