February and Other Stuff

This is my attempt at playing catch up:

We bought a treadmill at the beginning of the year and you would think that I would want to run on it every day since it is so convenient now, but unfortunately that is not the case. I’m working on it though. I love the concept of having it, but not the actual running. However, I did buy some ShapeUps a couple weeks ago from Costco when they were on sale and I LOVE them! I really only get to wear them on the treadmill, but I sure feel a difference. I realized that I walk heel to toe in regular shoes, so the ShapeUps feel pretty natural. Weird, I know.

Valentine’s Day was fantastic. Kevin and I flew down to Las Vegas the Saturday before and enjoyed good food and good shopping. Valentine’s Day I worked from the hotel room and Kevin worked at a trade show. We were able to go to dinner at Trevi, a nice restaurant in Caesar’s Forum Shops and do a little shopping. Kevin bought me a ton of Godiva chocolate and a necklace from Tiffany that I wanted. I enjoy being spoiled.

Work and Church keep me very busy, which is nice since I tend to get depressed when I have the free time to think about not being able to get pregnant yet. It will be a year next month since we started tying and it gets more and more depressing each month. I am probably the least patient person I know, so the waiting and anxiety is killing me. Just wish I knew why it isn’t the right time yet.

I am really looking forward to this summer. We bought our Stadium of Fire tickets already and even more exciting . . . we booked a cruise for May! We are traveling on Carnival cruise lines on the Baja Mexico cruise. Meaning we are departing from Long Beach and stopping at Catalina Island and Ensenada. We will be traveling with some good friends, which makes it even more exciting. It is my first cruise, and I am a little nervous about getting seasick, but I will be bringing many different remedies to see what works best. I just would rather not be drugged during my vacation.

So I hear ya when it comes to taking forever to get pregnant... it's not fun, and it is especially not fun in Utah. The waiting game gets really old! If you ever want a recommendation for a good fertility doctor, let me know. Hang in there, it will happen and it will be worth it! On the upside, way cool about the cruise! I bet that will be so much fun!

I just happened to stumble upon your blog and I just wanted to let you know that things will work out. Even though I'm pretty young and probably won't be having kids for at least five more years, I just wanted to tell you that. My parents were married ten years and tried for much of that to have a baby before my mom got pregnant. She told me how disappointed she was month after month of not getting pregnant and watching all of her friends have kids. It came down to one month when she said if she didn't get pregnant that month she wasn't going to try anymore. That month happened to be the month she got pregnant with me. After me she had my sister, and while that was a really complicated pregnancy, she made it through.

I know having some stranger who's younger than you ramble on about how her mother waited years before getting pregnant is probably a little odd, but I just wanted to tell you not to give up. It will work out the way it's supposed to.
