To my Beautiful Child: Some Days Suck

3rd round of IVF· To My Beautiful Child

27 Oct

To my beautiful child (written on 10/26),


Today was kind of miserable. Remember how yesterday I said the Lupron shots weren’t too bad yet? Welp…I’ve been nauseous ever since and my whole body aches. One of the side effects is that your joints ache. It was just one of those days and I’m feeling like I’m in for the long haul and a little overwhelmed because if I do get pregnant, there’s a possibility that I’ll feel sick and nauseous for a long time.

At the end of the day I was reduced to tears over the silliest things. Like, I was welling up because my niece was so cute in her little Halloween costume. My ovaries feel like they’re about to pop out of my abdomen, and it’s only the third day of shots.

The bright spot of the day was taking a little ride on the RZR during my lunch break with your aunt Jocelyn and dad up on the mountain above our house, and the fun Halloween party that Grammy and Popsy threw last night at their house. I left early though to go take a hot bath which helped me feel a little better.

Right now I am mainly just feeling annoyed that my house won’t clean itself. What’s up with that? Tomorrow is a new day, right?





You’re worth it,





Mom

  • Walking into date night tonight like wahoo!!!!! Are you a weekend date night couple or a weekday date night couple? We are actually thinking week days might be wayyy less crowded everywhere. We might try it a few times! But then again it’s nice to have something to look forward to on the weekend, too (Outfit linked: http://liketk.it/35AYv #liketkit @liketoknow.it app asliceofstyle) #datenight
  • My family wanted to get some fresh air today with a walk and bike ride outside (32 degrees but still we do what we can in Utah!) and I ALMOST said, “you go without me...I need to clean this messy house up!” Then I remembered something I learned and committed to. I want my actions to reflect my priorities. In 14 years when my kids move out, will I be SO glad that I cleaned the house first? Not if it means missing out on a fun family adventure. My kids are 4 ONCE. I have this rule in my
  • What is the one thing you remember most from your wedding day? I remember walking into the room that we got married in and seeing almost everyone I loved all in one place, smiling at us. I loved all of the stunning details of the reception, the food, the dancing and the beauty…but it’s the overwhelming feeling of love I got from thinking, “These people are all here for us. What a tribe.” My sister @jocelynstimpson’s dress is from @thebridesshop and they generously agreed to give you $150 off accessories if you or your people buy your dress from their
  • After my Epstein-Barr health issues and fighting for my energy last year I am now HYPER conscious of what I put in my body. I am a HUGE cheerleader of brands who actually CARE what goes into our bodies and have developed foods that are GOOD for us. We apparently don’t smile with our eyes but I PROMISE you we are happy and smiling about @jojoschocolatebark now being offered at even more Costco locations! NEW locations: California, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri & Wisconsin (200+ Total)! Why I LOVE Jojo’s
  • One of my favorite people on this planet had her 30th birthday today! She is an incredible mother, an incredible entrepreneur, an incredible friend and such a beautiful human both inside and out. I learn from her and am blessed by her example every day! I love you @rachparcell!! Happy birthday!!
  • We went skiing today and when we got to the top of the mountain my job DROPPED! Like actually dropped This photo doesn’t even do it justice!! I didn’t go skiing last season for some reason and I’m SO glad we are making it happen this year. Where is your favorite place to ski? I learned how to ski about 8 years ago when I decided that I didn’t want to hate winter any more. It’s cold in Utah for almost HALF the year! I needed something fun to look forward to in the snow! ❄️❄️❄️ #skiing #skiutah #snowbird
  • We need each other!! This picture makes me think about when Tyler and I hadn’t told a lot of people about our infertility. We had done 3 IUI’s and 2 rounds of IVF without a baby and I was physically and emotionally sick. I just needed a break so we decided to stop trying and just have fun for a bit. I wrote out our journey up until that point while up at 2 am with jet lag after we returned back from a trip to China (I had a miscarriage on an airplane there!) It felt so therapeutic that
  • This is just your friendly reminder to schedule your dental cleaning! Check out this cutie’s teeth! We had the opportunity to travel to Egypt back in 2019 and it was really special. I learn so much when I travel, but especially gratitude. Where is the coolest place you have ever traveled and would recommend to others, and why? #travelegypt #egypttravel #pyramids
