About Me
Hey, y'all! My name's Amanda and I'm a 29-year-old mother of 2. My husband and I've been married for 6 years and have an amazing 5 year-old son. We're a proud military family and, after TTC for 8 months, we welcomed Caroline on February 25th via cesarean.*6/30/15: Appointment for possible PCOS after 2nd month of no period. Surprise! Hcg levels at 1233

*10/08/15: 19 weeks with heart rate of 150bpm. Baby still a girl & I'm starting to feel regular movements
*10/13/15: I can feel Caroline's little nudges on the outside. I know they'll get stronger but it helps make me feel more connected to her
