I am Holly and I was diagnosed with Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome in December of 2010. The diagnosis came at a time when my husband, Chris, and I were in the midst of a long struggle to start a family. We experienced joy 7 months later when we learned we were pregnant with our first child, Simon. PCOS continues to impact my body and I hope to use this blog as a place to document the ways it has become a part of my story.

i can't believe it missed it!
we're down to 94 days until (hopefully) this little boy arrives! i feel like i've been counting down to 100 for an eternity, and with all the craziness around here i missed it! i can't believe he'll be here in 3 months. this whole process has been such a challenge to my patience. waiting through the long months for another chance to try to conceive. then when we were finally pregnant, all i could think about was making it to week 12 so we could be past the highest risk period and start telling all our friends and family. then it was the ultrasound. then the viability week. now we're zeroing in on the completion of 27 weeks and i can't believe where the time has gone. now i feel like i can hardly stand waiting until he arrives because i am afraid i'm going to slip and tell his name (yes, we've picked on already!) to someone. it's been so fun to call him by name around the house. it just feels so natural that it's hard to keep it from slipping out. i just can't wait for march to get here! one thing i have learned throughout all this is that patience is something i was meant to learn. my timing seems so right to me, but in the end i have realized that God's timing is so much more perfect. so as i count down the remaining 94 days, i am going to try to keep in the forefront of my mind that this time i have is precious and i should be thankful for every minute.
