I received my volunteer assignment for Ironman Coeur d'Alene earlier this week and I'm stationed at the finish line! I was assigned to the 9-midnight shift, but politely asked if I could switch to the 6-9pm shift and was able to move. I think most of the people I'm there to watch will finish during that time or just after, so I'm super excited. The volunteer email warned that I might get puked on. Nice. My job is essentially to "catch" people as soon as they cross the finish line and make sure they are ok, and if not, to escort them to the med tent. I'm getting excited about my trip as well. I've never been anywhere in the Pacific Northwest (I guess Idaho would be considered in that area?). It will also be fun to be on the other side of a race for once and to get to cheer on my friends and cousin out there racing.
Sigh. Here we are again. We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old. I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then. If I had only known how true that is becoming. Silly us had started having visions of three kids. The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time. Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May. The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out. We had Sloane as a great distraction. My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far. Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work. And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
