Healthy

Word to your mother.  I am straight up healthy.

I had a visit with my lady doctor this week and all signs point to a healthy and happy (relatively) Mrs. Porch!  My hormone levels were good, my thyroid was good, and my ultrasound was clean.  Can I just share how exciting it was to have an ultrasound where I didn't get weird feedback?  Or feel totally freaked out afterwards?  Both ovaries look good (no cysts!) and my uterus was empty.  What?  He had to check.  Interesting fact the ultrasound tech decided to share:  Your uterus expands to more than 20 times its regular size when carrying a baby.  In fact, he once saw a c-section and when the cut open the abdomen and could see the uterus and it looked like a clear balloon.  I couldn't help but laugh and thank him for his fun fact.  I mean hey, it made the blog.

This means we can start looking into other factors and then get movin' on the baby-making fun.  How much will you just straight up shit yourselves when the day (finally) comes when we're publicly sharing a preggo announcement?  I know.  Maybe buy some diapers.  Or learn to control yourself.

So, that's one less thing that I have to worry/stress about, and that was a pretty big worry.  Spirits?  ^^^ lifted ^^^ I won't lie, I was certain there would be something inexplicably wrong with your friend Mrs. Porch.  There's always something weird going on in there.  NO ENDOMETRIOSIS and NO CYSTS.

If I can fight Endometriosis, I can sure as hell whoop your ass...
Honestly?  There's a someecard for everything.

Holla!

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
