Started with a banana pic sent to my sister

So Yesterday I was at walmart getting some fruits and veggies, and I was starving. I recently started eating healthy again to get my health under control. I stopped drinking soda, and eating more fruit and veggies. We have not told a lot of people that we are going to be trying for a baby, we didn't know for sure that we were even know its just a discussion. My sister messaged me a picture of a smoothie and I responded back with a picture of the banana I was eating. the message said "I said no to snickers and Yes to banana." Making small changes little by little to make me healthier with the idea of having a baby.
  Then that got me thinking, I have a friend named Ashley who is on her own Journey for a family and they write a blog, I also have another friends who company writes a blog and I really enjoy reading them. So why not write my own blog. I talked it over with Richard and here i sit at my desk with my water bottle in hand typing away.
  So why am I here? Well I am no fertile turtle, many of the other people in my family are very much so. I am not one of them. I suffer from PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and we also found out due to my last miscarriage that I have a blood clotting disorder called MTHFR. So having babies for me is not something super easy.  When I got pregnant the first time it was not planned at all, we were both thrilled, excited and scared, When I started bleeding at 10 weeks they said it was a miscarriage then a week later I was still very sick, in a lot of pain and I had to have a D&C.  I remember this day all too well.  I am a very hard stick with needles because my blood clots off, they could not find a vein and they poked me over 12 times. This is prob, one of the first times I had seen Richard so emotional, I was crying and yelling with every poke he was begging them to stop and they had to ask him to leave. He was very reluctant and they made him. This was the first time in my life I had truly felt protected by someone who wasn't family and this was the exact moment when I truly Fell head over heels in love with Richard.
  Life went on after the first and then we decided that we were going to try again. Which ended in a miscarriage, They started doing more and more tests to see what was going on and with the second test they found out I had MTHFR. What that means is my body will clot off the blood supply to the baby and it will stop growing. So when we do decide to have a baby again, I will have to take shots, blood thinners, baby aspirin, folic acid and progesterone.  So since this last one it has been over a year. I took the time off to let my body heal, and to let Richard and I deal with the emotional part of it. I had a lot of hormonal issues and gained a lot of weight so that will be my first battle. That is where the picture of the Banana sent to my sister started it all.
  After Richard and I discussed it, I stopped drinking soda 100%.  well the whole 2 days I have been doing this so far. I drink at least 4-6 water bottles a day of water. I am going with my friend to the gym and Zumba. We will not start trying and taking fertility meds until I have lost at least 30lbs if not 50lbs. So its not going to be tomorrow SURPRISE it will take time and we totally understand that. Our time will come. Until then being an aunt and uncle and parents to our fur babies will have to do :)
