And I'm back...

 Boy did I miss blogging. It's my creative outlet, it's my way to soul seek, live colorfully and it's a hobby I definitely need to stick with.

 So where do I start?!! Boyyyy has SO much happened in the last year but I guess I should just dive right in. 

 For those of you who don't know my story or past struggles you can read about them here. This was a blog I was writing on to talk about my journey through IVF and our struggles to have a baby. It was a super fast and extremely intense journey, one I would not recommend for the soft hearted but our IVF journey came with an incredible ending or rather a new beginning... WE'RE HAVING A BABY! The blood, sweat, tears, money and everything else we went through was beyond worth. God has been gracious and has truly blessed us.

 We're having a little boy which is what inspired my new blogs name, Loving Jax. This will be my place to write about and too my son. My place to be creative. My place to be colorful. My place to document life. There's something I love about having the ability to go back and see how far you've come. To have a place to write about it all. A place to see all you have to be grateful for, even those bad days. 

 This week I've officially kicked off my 3rd trimester. Jackson is growing healthy, strong and beautiful. He's very active and moves around in mamas belly all day long. I will admit it does hurt sometimes but I love every moment of it. It's a priceless feeling, one so difficult to use words to describe. I love to stare at my belly and watch him move. It's even better staring at his papa, seeing his reaction when he sees or feels him move. I tell you, I feel so bless. 

 We're anxiously awaiting his arrival. We still have 2 months to go but we're sooooo ready to kiss and love our lil' guy. I have my beloved glucose test on Friday. I can't wait to drink that amazing tasting liquid (yea right, yuckkkkk). We'll also be taking a look to see where my placenta is. Right now I have a condition called Placenta Previa. This is a condition where your placenta covers your cervix opening which makes natural birth pretty much impossible. Your placenta should move as the womb stretches and grows but in my case it hasn't. There are 3 different forms of placenta previa. Marginal, partial and complete. I have complete. Nearly all women with this condition need a c-section. It's definitely a scary condition to have and I'm of course very scared but I'm just taking things one day at a time and remaining VERY positive. Jax is healthy, he has past every test he's be given and he's growing just as he should. Those are ALL things to be very happy and grateful about so that's what I choose to focus on. 

 So on we go...
