Im 4 months today!

@ 15 weeks and 5 days

God is good all the time =)

 As of last thursday im nausea free Oh YEAH! I feel like im almost back to normal except everytime I try to do any "major" house work my back starts to hurt this started yesterday I forgot to mention that in my 16 weeks update vid bellow.

I seriously cant begin to tell you guys how blissful (even through all the morning sickness) my pregnancy has been I am still beyond amazed Im experiencing this magical moment! I cant stop thinking of Gods goodness even through the hard times…its those hard times that makes our faith even stronger!

I have started looking at stuff like strollers, pack n plays and such. Does anyone have any suggestions. I want to know which brand to trust theres honestly so much to choose from its hard to even narrow down things. I obviously will want neutral colored things that are durable because I would like to have it if the Lord blesses us with another baby in the future.

I know that anytime now I can feel the baby move, I cant wait and neither can Chris he is too funny but im sure all you first time mothers know how silly husbands get when you get pregnant. Its so cute! He pampers me and I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband by my side. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

Love,
Jeni

P.S.
Heres a video update of my last few weeks and just a bit of pregnancy chat =)

Its a…baby!

@ 14 weeks, Chris took us out on a date to Skyline Drive

Today I am 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Still sickies I do believe my nausea and vomiting has gotten worse. I was hoping that I would be far more energetic and lively by now. Now I am able to function somewhat haha… my major task today cleaning up my house. Ive had to take mini breaks in between things but whatever works. I have been able to cook a little more if I cook once a day I feel beyond accomplished at this point. The problem I am facing is not wanting to eat what I made no matter how delicious it may seem.

Surprise!

Hello Darlings!!!

Sorry Ive been missing for such a long time. Theres been so much going on in my life during the last month, its seriously been crazy! So where to begin...hmm...well let me begin by saying...

I AM PREGNANT!

Precisely 12 weeks and 5 days. Theres a tiny miracle growing inside me and we couldnt be more happy! My husband and I found out September 5th after three weeks of driving myself crazy thinking I had the flu. Turns out that the week before I started feeling the dreaded “morning sickness” my in laws and hubby came down with the flu. So what was I to think? 

I was really dreading taking a pregnancy test. I had finally come to peace with the fact that perhaps I would never be able to conceive and taking a pregnancy test felt really insulting to myself because I think of it as a reminder of what I could supposedly NEVER accomplish. 

Growing Pains

I have got to say that out of the many joys PCOS brings you (joke,joke) I hate my acne and my hair loss =( the most.

Yes my acne has cleared up probably like 70% and it is much better than what it use to be thanks to a diet change. I still have the scars though and even if everyone says they cant tell I CAN and that is what matters. I hate that I dont go a day without one little pimple in my face….UGHHHH!

I lose hair all day everyday. I feel like Everywhere I sit theres a trail of my hair. Good thing I have a full head of hair that is very voluminous. I do have to say it makes me self conscious though I feel like I am going bald. When I wash my hair a handful of hair falls by the locks. Even more when I brush it and so it continues when I style it. Im sure theres many of you out there that understand.

Ugh I have pain in my ovaries and I hate it! Ive been having pain kinda on and off. Were thinking it may be a sign of them working and actually ovulating…that would be great =) 

I had my first close to normal period this month so that was a huge blessing. I feel like we are on the right track. My emotions have been up and down and the fact that Hubby has been working like crazy has driven me crazy…I miss him! 

I have lived through the worst of PCOS so I figure the best is yet to come. I am hoping that this slight pain in my ovaries means were going towards the right direction. So ill take the growing pains with grace and pray they dont become any worst.

I hope all you lovely ladies are having a good week and that you have an even better weekend.

Love,

Jeni 

PCOS and me (Part 2)

The continuation of the previous post...
Goes into a little more of what PCOS has brought into my life:



There is no cure for PCOS but symptoms can be controlled normally by prescription drugs for life. I have chosen to try to control them through my lifestyle and a natural treatment, I truly believe it can be done.

This is now part of my life, part of me but I refuse to let it define me…I will kick PCOS in the butt!

Prayers are always welcome =) thank you for watching! May this be a blessing to someone.
