Family Time

It has been a while since I have posted - I haven't really felt like I've done anything worth posting about lately! Just the regular ol' life stuff. I did spend most of the weekend with my mom which was nice and my sister and the girls came in town Sunday to drop Molly off for camp on Monday. I want to go back to summer camp!

I had a relaxing Sunday and actually did what most normal people might do. Mom and I ate lunch in the Village and then went shopping at Gap and Kids Gap. I got a skirt at the Gap and then we decided the girls needed something from Kids Gap. While there, I decided I apparently fit into what Kids Gap considers a kid's size. How sad that the world is coming to that, but also great for me that I can buy super cute clothes at half the price! So, I picked up a cute sundress there. Mom and I picked out 3 bathing suits and matching shorts for the girls. They were all very cute. Molly's had to look a bit different because she is the oldest and way over matching her little sisters. Kate's looks a bit hippy and flower-child like, but it suits her just great. And Bennett's is similar to Kate's. Any bathing suit in a size 12-18 months is just plain cute!

New outfits for the girls:
Bennett discovered my Bosu Ball - her new favorite "trampoline"
Molly, Bennett, and Kate at the pool
Bennett - happy as a lark in her own little pool

I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning and that almost killed me, but the breakfast afterwards was worth it. It is so nice to have made such great friends in the running and tri world. Meeting up with friends who ran in 3 different places for a Saturday morning breakfast is great! I did a 1.5 hour spin class on Sunday, but left after an hour because I was bored. It is amazing how different things are when I'm not training for an Ironman!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

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....
