Spiders, Flies, and Pouncers, Oh My!

The following PSA is from my PCHA weekly newsletter, and I thought I'd post it in honor of a few very close friends:

Spiders wait, motionless, for flies to enter their webs. This is when spiders get to eat. If the flies don't start flying, the poor spiders are going to starve. Enter the pounce card. This card helps flies steer clear of any webs they might not want to enter and helps the spiders get a bite to eat when they might otherwise starve - by making their web look a bit more inviting. Flies are much better suited to pounce than spiders, but sometimes they forget this (the card is designed to help situations such as this). Everyone once in a while you might come across the Wild South American Pouncing Spider, but that species is very rare.

Spiders, flies, pouncers, and pouncees should all consult the PCHA guidebook for further rules and regulations, including the ever-popular PUI/PWI clause. Note: PUI/PWI is not considered an offense punishable by law.

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....
