It's been a year?!?!?

I totally can't believe it's been an entire year since I made my last blog post. I did create my FB Totally Jen page and have been posting short updates on that! Please go out and like my page for the most current updates and inspirations https://www.facebook.com/TotallyJenH/.

So let's see to get this blog updated real quick... I found out I was pregnant in July of 2018, and we are expecting our little boy Ethan James about mid-March. The original due date is March 31st, however, due to complications with the pregnancy and prior issues the doctor wants to go at least 2 weeks early. Wish me luck as I head into the home stretch!

We've almost lived in our house for a whole year, and we love it! The holidays were so nice having all the extra space for friends and family.

We have added two new additions to our household. The first one is Sadie our standard poodle. She is very pretty and full of energy. She's been giving me a run for my money that's for sure. Although I will say within the last month she has really become a better dog. It was touch and go for a moment. Our second addition is Sneaky Snickers our new guinea pig. When we first picked up the Mochachinno we didn't realize they thrived in herds. While we won't have a herd we decided having a pair would give her the best quality of life. Snickers has been under quarantine the last week and has one more week to go. Fingers crossed that the bonding next week goes as planned!

Finally, the last big change in 2018 was deciding to be a stay at home mom. I've been staying at home since September, and it's been great! I've already had the opportunity to spend more time with Alex, and it's allowed me to focus on my health for the baby. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss the news but after 11 years I think that's to be expected. I do plan on picking up side work here and there. Bryan, and I both work on computers so if you have any computer needs let us know! I'm also open to other ventures so if you think you have something else I might be interested in doing on the side you know where to find me. :)

Okay, that's all I got for today. I'm going to try and make more posts going forward, but I do have a few busy months ahead of me. Have a great 2019!

Long Covid, POTS, and Restricted Lung Disease - Rehab Update

 Hey everyone!  It's taken a little longer to post than I would have liked. We had a couple colds and the stomach flu plague our house last month and I'm just not starting to feel more human. So a lot has happened since my last post. My primary doctor figured out that I had covid at some point. I've always felt like this is why all my symptoms and everything got worse but I didn't have proof. If I had to pinpoint when I got covid it was in March of 2020. That's pretty much when things went downhill. If you've had covid or think you might have had covid and are having crazy symptoms I implore you to look into dysautonomia. It might be a huge piece of the puzzle you are missing. I was diagnosed with POTS which is a form of dysautonomia and by bringing my HR down to a more reasonable level the brain fog lifted and I've felt much better. I still fight hypertension 10-14 days a month but I was fighting issues 100% of the time. I was just glad to get somewhat of a

Living with Chronic Illness(POTS/Dysautonomia & Restricted Lung Disease) & General Life Updates!

It's been a while huh? I just went through the worst couple of years of my life. Gosh, I really think I could write a novel but that's not really my thing. Haven't even done a great job of keeping up on this blog. So I'm not going to make some promise that I'll be posting more but what I can promise is that when inspiration sparks me I'll be here to let you all know. I can also say I finally officially bought my own domains so if you ever want to get right back to this blog just type in totallyjen.com or totallyjen.xyz . I actually found out the hard way Facebook doesn't allow for .xyz domains which is just silly but that's a rant for another day. So first let me tell you where you can find me at: Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube - I don't use this one as often. I haven't really gotten much into video blogs but who knows maybe? I guess stay tuned.  Okay, now that we've got that out of the way. If I had to guess why you've clicked on t
