Weekly Notables

February 7, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

It was a crazy past week y’all! I worked all last weekend, and Monday – Wednesday we had a mini vacation. Needless to say my day are all messed up lol. And not gonna lie, I am feeling super unmotivated since I’ve taken a break this week. But I am hoping I can find some things I want to write about and just go with it!

//one//
Wedding Talk

This week my parents were in town and we talked about my wedding almost non-stop lol. We took a deep dive into the financial aspects of it all, and I’m pleasantly surprised with how smoothly it went. This conversation took a huge weight off of my shoulders. I am now getting so excited and becoming more confident in the decisions we’ll be making. Stay tuned!

Valentine’s Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day is just a week away! While January felt like slow motion, February is totally flying by in my opinion. I truly feel like I haven’t had enough hours in the day this month. If you still have some gifts to get, check out my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Her post! And be sure to sign up for my email list because on Monday I’ll be sharing a last-minute gift guide.

Valentine’s Day Giveaway

In case you missed it, I am hosting ANOTHER Valentine’s Day Giveaway on my Instagram! You can win a Caloosa WaterWear Valentine’s Day Ultra Comfort Shirt of your choice, along with some Candy Heart earrings from Coras Den. Today is the last day to enter, so be sure to head to this post to have a chance to win! If you don’t win, you can use code JAYME20 to get 20% off your purchase at Caloosa WaterWear.

Blue & White Dress

Classic Blue is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020, and that means you’ll probably be seeing the color everywhere! Long before this classic blue was “trendy,” it’s been one of my favorite colors to wear. If something in my wardrobe isn’t from Lilly, it’s either blue or white. Last week I found the greatest satin dress at Forever 21 for only $27.99, and I am actually super impressed with the quality and fit of it. You can see my try-on pic on LiketoKnow.it. I even wore it for our engagement shoot this week, and I can’t wait to share the pics with y’all.

//five//
Lilly Pulitzer’s Spring Collection

Lilly’s Spring 2020 collection released on Sunday. I haven’t gotten the chance to head into stores yet to do a try-on session, but it’s on my to-do list lol. I currently have my eyes on the Ivie Maxi Dress, the Cristiana Stretch Dress, the Aiden Midi Dress, and the Kiara Dress. Stay tuned on my Instagram stories to see those in the near future!

Cheers!

xoxo

Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshi Spent the last week soaking up some amazing sunshine weather on HHI - surrounded by family & friends🌊🤍 It was a great way to get some major R&R after these past months of treatment. 

We’re spending this week at our happy place - Disney - to close the chapter out on the summer before we head into fall🍂
The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
