Whoah who knew Live Journal still existed?
So Livejournal, it's been 13 years since I last posted here. I had to get my dad to get the password for my old AOL email account so I could log back in here...it's been that long. I have been lost in reading all of the posts that I made when I was younger, and I am so thankful to have that to look back on. It's crazy how much I have completely forgotten from those days. Like, I worked at Initial Records? Literally if someone asked me if I had, I would have said "no!"
So a bit has changed since 2007:
-I've gotten married and had 5 boys since then.
-I've lost my grandparents and an aunt
- I owned and ran 3 Plato's Closet stores.
-I quit working and started an Instagram kids shop
-We started renting our house out on Airbnb so we could travel and now it's a full-time income for me
-We spent a summer in Sanibel Island
-I traveled for 60 days from South Carolina to Canada in a van with my kids. The closest to going on tour I've ever been.
-I've spent two (about to be 3) summers in Maine on a tiny island made up of 8 generations of lobster fisherman.
-I had my first and hopefully last miscarriage
I'm sure there is so much more but those seem like the high and low lights.
So today I went to the midwife because I've been trying to get pregnant and it's not happening for me. I still dream of having a little girl and my clock is ticking. I CANNOT believe that I am already 37. I was hoping to find out that I just needed some progesterone and that would be the cure. Instead I found out that I have something called Adenomyosis and it causes miscarriages and makes getting pregnant difficult. SO. I'm waiting to hear from my midwife to find out what the next steps are, but honestly I'm just happy to have an answer. I don't want to get pregnant again if I might miscarry. I thought I was strong enough to deal with that but it was the worst.
