Merry Christmas... a few days late...

Things were crazy through the holidays... and they have been for a while...
But I got an amazing christmas present tonight... even if it is a few days late... ;)

Mike's decided that he is really ready for another baby... He wants me to call my OBGYN tomorrow and make an appointment to have the IUD removed... I'll also have to get back on track with the metformin...

I'm so excited!

So i've been thinking...

and baby names seem to be coming to mind.

:)

Yes, yes I know.. we aren't even trying, so why am I already naming this baby?
I don't know... But I am...


So I guess Boys first
Mike asked me a few days ago if i liked the name Aaron for a boy... I don't know... I'm just not crazy about it... Its a nice name... but I'm just not in love with it...

I am in love with Aidan... I don't know why... And I know its so popular... but I just really like it.

Now for middle name... I want to use Joseph ... it was my grandpa's middle name... and he was special to me... I'm not so sure that Mike is crazy about the idea, but I am hoping that it will grow on him.

I'm also considering Andrew... or maybe even Adam... hmmmm we'll see.

So next comes the Girls
Our first choice is still Abigail Brianna ... that was our girl name when I was pregnant with Austin...

But I've recently been captured by the name Ava...
I just ... I don't know... I think its pretty.. Its short, and simple, and sweet...
but then I run into the middle name... I mean I don't think that Ava Brianna works... especially not with our last name...

So i'm considering maybe
Ava Layne

I haven't really discussed that with mike yet... Its still way too early for name deciding... Its just talk... or ideas I should say...

Journey to baby

Mike and I have been married for 3.5 years and are the proud parents of a 2.5 year old little boy named Austin.

Before we got married we had talked about having kids... it was something that we both wanted... and always had... I wanted 2-3... Mike wanted 1-2... but we knew we wanted to be parents.

Shortly after our wedding I got pregnant with our son Austin.
I had a few complications during the early part of my pregnancy, but overall it was a wonderful experience.

Right before our son's second birthday we started talking about trying for baby number two. But at the time we were going through a lot emotionally while undergoing medical tests for our son. So our dreams of another baby got put on the back burner...

Austin was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3 in January (one month before his secnod birthday)... Intially the diagnosis was hard for us... and having another baby got pushed back again...

After a few months we started to talk about it again... but neither one of us were ready at that time...

Then I was diagnosed with PCOS...
So whether we were ready or not TTCing got pushed back again...

My cycles are now fairly regular , in the since that I am having one every month for the last 4 months. So it looks like things are finally falling into place to start trying...

We are currently building a house, and right now our goal is to start trying at the begining of the year.

This blog will be a place to follow our journey to our new baby.
I know that PCOS will most likely make this a difficult journey and I need to have a place to vent about or troubles.

Our journey will start now... as we are preparing to TTC and will continue through my pregnancy (whenever that may be ...).

So let the journey begin!
