I’m pregnant in My Metamorphosis

After nearly two years of trying, I am pregnant! I’m typing this on my phone at work, so it’ll be brief.

Before I get into that, there’s a few other noteworthy events since my last post.. in May I quit my shit job at WIC (after still no raise/promotion once becoming a registered dietitian). I now am the clinical dietitian and food service director of a susbstance abuse/psychiatric facility. I LOVE my job! I am soooooooo happy and fufilled and PAID what I’m WORTH. Such a good feeling. My job is demanding and intense, but it’s so fulfilling and everything I’ve been working towards for the past 4-5 years.

Cassidy started the tenth grade. This has been a hard year for her. In March she was admitted into a psych facility with suicidal ideations. She had just been prescribed lexapro for her anxiety and depression and a week later she had sunk so low. Luckily they got her meds situated and we got her a new therapist and she’s doing s lot better.
It’s hardwatching her struggle. I love her so much, my goal in life has always been to protect her and block her from the anguish I felt growing up. So it’s been so hard as a parent to see her going through this, and you can’t hekp but feel guilty, like, where did I go wrong?

Shiloh is about to turn 3 on the 1st of September! He just started pre-k3 and he just doing awesome! I love my little man. He’s finally at that stage where he’s just so much fun, semi independent, funny, and just so fun to watch him learn and grow.

Me and Bradley just celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary on Aug 11. I really appreciate him supporting me in following my dream to be an RD. Since I quit my old job, and started my new job, things between us have really improved. Life in general has gotten much better.

So we started our TTC journey back in November 2017. After I pissed on a gazillion ovulation sticks and tracked every peak day with no luck, I was done. I never ended up trying the clomid. And once I accepted the offer for my current job (in March, but didn’t start til May 1) I decided to not really try at all. So i dont know how or when it happened, but I took a pregnancy test two days ago and it was super positive. Going off my last period, my due date is like April 20, so I’m about 5 weeks 2 days. No body knows yet (except Bradley — so if you’re on my social media, shhhh 🤫!!). Even Cassidy doesn’t know yet. My first OB appt is sept 18. Still doesn’t seem real! I’m scared and nervous and excited! Anywho, I need to add some pics… will try to do that and update more often!
