Liam is 2 Today and Our first 2WW

It’s been awhile since I’ve written on here. And today seemed like the perfect time to update.

My precious little miracle turned two today. How is that possible? It’s amazing how fast two years can go by. We are having a birthday party tomorrow for him at our new house, completed with 8 kids and 19 adults including us. It’s going to be a full house but I’m looking forward to it. We’ve invited grandparents, his godparents, along with 4 friends from Liam’s school. It’s all the close people in his life and I felt they should all be there. Liam’s life is precious and I wanted those important people in his life to be there to celebrate.

Liam is a spunky little kid. He loves to drum still (since 9 months old). He is into fire trucks and tractors. Let’s just say he is all boy! And he never stops moving, unless he is napping which is challenging on the weekends. He’s picking up new words every day. And boy is he smart! It’s amazing to watch him grow up and change. I was looking at baby photos of him and it’s hard to remember him at that age. He is such a little man these days. Despite the challenging times and those temper tantrums, I reminded that I would deal with those all day because he truly is a blessing.

And our other news, we are in our first 2WW. We had initially wanted to start trying this summer but the house situation took over. I really wanted to be settled into a home before trying again. I wanted to fully participate in moving. So here we are again. If my period comes, it should be here on Wednesday.

I know my body pretty well so I’m trying to really listen to it this past week. But at the same time, am I listening too hard and is it all in my head?

I’ve had some symptoms. I had a sore throat on Tuesday and Wednesday and a stuffy nose since then. I’ve had a lot of gurgling in my belly since Monday. This morning I was brushing my teeth and spit out some blood. My stomach was off this morning. My boobs hurt a bit. But am I just wishing for these symptoms?

I’m trying not to think about it but I can’t help it. You obsess about it in the 2WW. I’m trying to focus on Liam’s party this weekend and then see what next week brings.

I hope all is well with all of you in the blogosphere. I still try and read blogs when I can. I think this place might be my safe haven one again. I need a place to share my anxiety about the road ahead.
