Mom Clique
hmmmm..... I am appreciating being a working mom. Dont get me wrong I would much rather stay home with Ky everyday but since thats not an option right now....it does make me appreciate and not take for granted the time i do spend with Ky. Yesterday for Kys birthday we took him to a baby gym to run and play. I was so excited to see him climb and jump, not to get a free time for Mommy. Well these classes are at 1 in the afternoon so obviously a normal working family cannot get their kids there regular. You could tell the other moms all knew each other cause they just sat and talked while their 1 and 2 years old ran around stealing ball from all the other kids. i dont ever want to be the mom who goes to these things to get a break. I love being wth Ky even if he didnt let me seep the night before. He is the best part of me and i dont ever want to waste a minute we have together.

Dear Kyle
My sweet baby Ky,
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
One year ago you made your Daddy and I the happiest parents alive. We are so utterly in love with you. In the past year you have grown into such a loving boy. You enjoy giving hugs and being tickled and kissed. We love to watch you laugh and play each day. You are such a big boy now running all over the living room making a huge mess of your toys and I wouldn't change it for the world. I love listening to your babbles and watch you like you are having a real conversation. I can't wait to see what all of your years will hold but for now I just want to cherish every moment I have with you. Ky you are truly my angel and I thank God for every day he gives me with you. Mommy Loves you so big.
my little baby in the hospital
a year later. full of personality

1 week count down
ok i dont know about anyone else but i am SOOOOO over this weather. Especially having a baby. it stinks having to bundle them up and get them in the cold car during 20 degree weather. all i want to do is stay in bed under my covers. the last 2 days havent been very exciting... work and work. I got a few silly pics of ky but i just havent felt like doing anything.
Since i havent had much to talk about i figured i would give a little history since im feeling kinda sad and excited that ky will be 1 in a week. it was a LONG road to get our little baby and that just makes him even more special. the hubby and i got married in 2008 and we knew we wanted kids right away. If it were up to him we would have tryed before but i wanted to get married first then have kids. i know so traditional lol well needless to say after the honeymoon the birth control went out the window(sorry tmi) anyway a few months went by and every month i thought i was preggo cause my monthly friend never came. finally after about 6 months i went to the doc and they gave me some meds to try and get everything going..... nothing happened. i was referred to a specialist and that is where the crazy road began...... let me say i owe everything to Shady Grover Fertility and especially my amazing nurse Sonia who listened to me cry on way too may occasions. With out her and the amazing doctors ky would not be here. so long story short we did 4 cycles of IUI and none of them worked. that all sounds pretty simple but that process is a few months per IUI not to mention the 6 month break we had to take because i hit my lifetime max with insurance at age 26?????? really how is that possible. Luckily the hubby had just started a new job and we switched to his once we were able. After the all failed attempts the doctors thought it would be best to move onto IVF which i was nervous about because that actually required me to be put to sleep etc.... but i wanted a baby so bad i was willing to to anything. its kinda funny because it all seems so long ago and i remember at one point i was giving myself 3 shots a day and driving into baltimore city every morning for bloodwork..(ouch 4 needles a day) we got through our 1st ivf cycle on a saturday and on sunday we went to visit my FIL in the nursing home(we have a 2 week period until we can take a pregnancy test) my FIL was looking great and his spirits were up. He asked us who was having a baby( not knowing we had just gone through IVF the day before) hubby said well we just had the procedure yesterday but wont know anything for 2 weeks. my FIL kept smiling and hugging me like he knew something:) the next day my hubby got the worst call ever. His dad had passed away and no one was expecting it. it was a rough 1 1/2 weeks planning and saying goodbye to my FIL. the weekend before my blood test my hubby said to take an at home preggo test but i was too scared that it would be negative. i knew he couldn't take anymore bad news. i went to the $ store because i was tired of spending $$$$ on expensive tests and they would be neg. well to my shock i thought I saw 2 lines but i wasnt sure. i took a pic of the test and sent it to o a few friends asking what they thought. they all said i was for sure pregnant but I just didnt believe it after all of these years. I made hubby go get a good test that actually said pregnant or not pregnant... 3min later pregnant started flashing on the screen...............and now here we are with the happiest and most loved baby... about to be one year old. i get teary eyed retelling the story and missing my FIL but i know that he had a part in bringing ky to us and he is always watching down protecting him.
this is my most precious gift

lost time
well where have the last few days gone.... honestly not too much to catch up on.
Friday: was Ravens day at work. We sponsor the NFL so we had the ravens marching band, mascot and cheerleaders there which was fun and got me pumped for today.
Saturday: hubby helped me with a DIY project i found for a backdrop stand. it was really simple to make, however mine definately wasnt $20. oh well it was still cheaper then buying a "real" stand. I can't wait to test it out today after a quick trip to the fabric store. My god daughter came over with her mommy and daddy for dinner. She is a year and 2 days older than Ky. They play together but she really doesnt like when he plays with her toys:( we were all talking and we heard Ky scream when i looked Amelia was sitting on him, which i thought was why he was crying but then i say blood. She bit his cheak not realizing it was a bad thing. Poor Ky got his first boo boo and Amelia seems really sad after too. Kids are litttle and they don't know so it wasnt a bid deal and Ky will heal.
Today im looking forward to spending some quality mommy and ky time together since hubby is on the road to the game. my sis and my niece are also coming over later to relax and have some quality time.
Here are some pics from the last few days....
bath pics are from my point and shoot so i didnt get my big girl camera wet
Poor baby:(
