Whirlwind... Chapter TWO

Our story continues...

We moved to Hawaii January 9th of 2015 and lived in a hotel for two months of our Hawaiian journey. It was fun and hard. Living in the same room with tons of bags, a husband that had to be up super early because we lived so far from post, then I had to adjust because I was now a "stay at home mom" and i have never lived away from NC... Besides the hotel, we actually adjusted very well. In the very beginning I made a promise to myself to get out of my comfort zone and "embrace the journey", I actually did not know how much that phrase would mean to me in the up coming months.

Another fast forward...

We met a sweet couple before we moved to the island that were PCS'ing from Fort Drum as well and they were prego when we arrived. I never had baby fever, ever... Once they had their baby, still, no baby fever! lol We loved the little guy but i never got the fever... Well, until I seen my hubby with the baby. My husband would just snuggle him and look at him, it melted my heart and for the first time ever i felt my heart de-thawing a little and thinking about jumping on the baby train!

So, at this point I had not been on birth control in years but had always prevented pregnancy and one day we decided we were no longer going to do that. After months and months of negative pregnancy test and major dizzy spells I decided to go to my primary doctor and see what was going on. Once i visited the dr she said i needed to be put back on my PCOS meds (they made me crazy sick years ago and because I didnt want another child and i was going through a divorce, i stopped taking the meds) and that was one reason why i was staying dizzy, because it effects my blood sugar. She thought it was a good idea that I be referred to our Army hospital to see the fertility specialist because I mentioned we also had not been getting pregnant. Talk about a whirlwind! Within a year we had been married, lived with each other for the first time, in 4 different locations and 2 different states, moved to a small island and decided we might want to have a baby! Once we started talking about the fertility clinic we decided to just go for a consultation just to see what they said but I said i didnt want to do anything "unnatural"...
