I also announced that my word for the 2018 is ADVENTURE! I love adventure and after I announced my word for the year, I made out a list, a starter list, of adventures I want to have this year. Some big, some small, but I just want to remember to go out and focus on living life.
Of course, as always, everyone is welcome to accompany me on my adventures. Here's my list:
So all of these are pretty much adventures in the works. I've got plans here and there for some of them.
You may have also noticed #1 on my list.
So, I've ALWAYS wanted to be a mom, in whatever capacity that meant. Adoption is BIG on my heart. Initially that is the route I've been researching for years: cost, process, what would happen with a maternity leave, etc.
Last year when I went for my yearly lady appointment, my doctor mentioned that I may want to freeze my eggs because, ya know, I'm getting on up there in years, even though I'm only 25 (+10)! Well in my adoption research, I started researching some other things, and ways to become a mom (ya know, since I'm single).
I prayed a lot about things and decided to try something. So, I chose a donor, had a procedure, and it didn't work.
So, I tried a second time, and......
Drumroll......
......
2nd procedure worked! I'm going to be a MOMMY!!!!! EEEKKK!!!!
I'm so excited! My family is excited!
I have so many things on my heart about this and I will for sure blog about it more. But I just wanted to finally share my news that my biggest dream is coming true. Everything is looking great and healthy. I can't wait for September to get here!
Let the Adventure Begin!
