Try again?

Kristen and I have started talking a little about trying to get pregnant again.  We are going on vacation in July, so it will probably be August before we can try.  One of our closest friends is going to be TTC for the first time in August too, so hopefully we can both get pregnant together.  Her wife has a friend that is a midwife and she went over and taught them how to do the IUIs at home.  Last night Kristen and I went out for drinks with Devin (our close friend) and she offered the use of Sarah (her wife) to do our IUIs.  Although it is very nice of her to offer and I am sure Sarah would love to do it (she is a total medical geek like me), I am not sure you can ever come back from that.  I mean, how do you have your friend all up in your business and then go out for a drink together?  Kristen is a little uncomfortable about doing an IUI herself though.  So, I think our options are going back to the doctor or having Sarah do it.  I wish that I could do it myself.  I would love to do an IUI!  Either way, it is a little bit exciting to be thinking about babies again.... scary, but exciting!

Taking over the day care has been really amazing!  I love the babies and spending my day singing, cuddling, and playing with infants.  What could be better?  The youngest baby that I have started at 7 weeks and is now 12 weeks.  It has been a lot of fun seeing the changes over the last five weeks.  The two oldest children are 18 months and they are moving on to another day care on Monday (I only take babies up to 18 months).  I have been caring for one of them since she was 5 months old, so it is going to be hard not seeing her all the time.  I have watched her learn to crawl, walk, talk, and everything in between.  It is a blessing to have these babies in my life.  The only difficult part about owning the day care is that sometimes a few of the parents can be difficult.  My logical side understands that they are just having a hard time leaving their baby while my emotional side second guesses my skills and ability to do the job.  Even with the strange requests from the parents, I don't think I would change it for anything.

Only one more work week and we are leaving for vacation.  I am really excited to go hang out with my lovely girlfriend.  We are going out to Colorado to visit Kristen's college roommate, Julia.  We also have plans to go stay at a resort for two days (just the two of us).  Julia got us tickets for some kind of brewery tour as well.  That should be fun.  Lastly, Kristen bought us tickets to an Ingrid Michaelson and Brandi Carlile concert at the Red Rock Amphitheater.  It is an amazing venue and I am sure that we will really enjoy it.  We are really financially drained at the moment, but we definitely need a good vacation and plenty of relaxation.

I hope everyone is doing well in blogland.  Sorry we have fallen off the face of the earth for a while... hopefully we will be writing more frequently soon.  Happy Summer!
