Barefooted Mama: long time no blog

Wow, it has been forever since I last wrote a blog post. Trust me though when I say that this blogging hiatus was much needed -- even though it was unplanned. There is so much to catch up on. Especially since the last post was of Kai's 1st birthday bash. Which seems forever ago! I can not promise to blog every day, but I do want to get better about getting back into the blogging world. I miss this little corner. This little space. There might even be a few blog posts from my phone as I have hardly touched my computer at all these days. I've gotten on to edit pictures for clients but that is about the extent of my computering here these last months. As always though you can follow me on instagram or twitter. I am always on there.
Now to catch you up on a few of the things that have been going on around these parts:

This mama got a job a few weeks before Kai turned one. I have had a lot of mixed emotions about this. At first I was excited to go back. Talk to adults, get out of the house, have some independence back. Now I loath working there. I would much rather be a stay at home mama to my handsome little man. Thankfully in 3 short months I will get that opportunity.

Matt and I started trying again for baby #2 when Kai was about 8 months old. Around that time I was diagnosed with PCOS. I blogged about that in a few posts (you can find them here and here). After those updates I ended up firing my OBGYN and following the instructions of my Midwife. For me the Clomid and Provera did nothing more than cause huge cysts to form on my ovaries. The OB was unwilling to go down other avenues of treatment. He just wanted to up the medication dosage I was on. So I walked away. Those cysts were painful. I took the vitamins my midwife suggested and within two months I was/am pregnant (I'll go into more detail on this in another blog post).

Matt and my 5th wedding anniversary is this weekend. After securing a house sitter we are going to be headed to the coast for the weekend! I am so excited. I have a week off of work (which is much needed)! We are going to see family and friends and hopefully just relax. Although I am a little nervous about traveling so much with a 16 month old.
