Special Days May 14, 2007
Today is my birthday, my 30th birthday to be exact. It feels kinda weird to not be in my 20’s anymore. Does this mean I have to be a real grown up now?
We don’t really have anything special planned for today, but that’s ok because yesterday was more than special for me. The past few Mother’s Days have really been hard. It was pretty surreal to actually be celebrating it this year. Dan got me some extremely lovely and heartfelt gifts that left me in tears.
I have to admit, though, that even though yesterday was a happy day that it was also impossible not to think about what it took to get to this place, to remember the pain of the past five years. My thoughts were also with all of my friends who are still in the trenches. I want so much for them to be able to celebrate Mother’s Day, too.
All in all, though, it was a very special day that I won’t soon forget. I’m so thankful that I got to cry happy tears instead of sad ones this year.
So, you would think that between yesterday and today I’d be set as far as special days are concerned. Well, there’s one more coming up in the near future. On Wednesday Dan and I will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary.
I really can’t fully express what all of these special days mean to me. I am just so very grateful to have a wonderful husband and now an amazing son. My heart is so full.
4 Months May 11, 2007
Adam turned four months old yesterday. He had his checkup today, and he’s up to 15 lbs, 13 oz and 25.5 inches tall, putting him in the 75th percentile for both.
He’s doing pretty well, although some of his reflux symptoms have returned. His doctor upped his dose of Prevacid, so hopefully that will help. The doctor noticed that he’s showing signs of plagiocephaly with his head being flattened on one side, so he’s also going to refer him to a pediatric physical medicine doctor to have it evaluated.
Life with our little guy is amazing. It’s crazy to think that one year ago tomorrow we transferred our last four embryos. To say that I am thankful that one of them hung on to become Adam would be an enormous understatement.
