Research...and more Research

It's been over a month since I have blogged and there is no real excuse...actually I guess there is.
So as of two weeks ago, per my doctors orders, I am now out of work.  There are many reasons why and I ignored all of the signs pointing to slow down but chose to ignore them.  Instead of being resentful, I am blessing all of the instances that have brought me to this point.
I am slowing down and learning to take care of ME. This is a first.  Ever.
If you followed my last blog, even when I was laid off, I was THE busiest unemployed person ever.  Now?  I have to not stay busy.  I got some books and some movies that help me go inward before this little girl comes along.
With all of this, I looked into my endometriosis and all of the statistics that go along with this.  The risk of conceiving at all is significantly lower, the pain, and everything else...still amazes me that we are carrying a healthy baby.
We have a big appointment next Monday with our MFM (great way to spend our anniversary, right?).  We are going to see how it is progressing.  I have read a lot about the chances of preterm labor associated with this disease.
I have chosen to Let Go and Let God.  I have to remind myself hourly of that.  It does not come easily.  Rome wasn't built in a day I have learned.
This is like Sterling's recovery...slow and steady....
