What an amazing summer this has been! We have gone to four concerts; we saw Sugarland, Marcy Playground, Lit, Gin Blossoms, Sugar Ray, Everclear, Ingrid Michaelson, Andy Hall, and Brandi Carlile (we have a very eclectic taste in music ). We went camping once, hiking in Maine and in the Rocky Mountains. We spent nine days in Colorado (and I was ready to pack up and move there). Went for a bike ride with friends on Peak's Island (a neat island off the coast of Maine). We are going to a comedy show tonight, camping Sunday night, and whitewater rafting on Monday. I am sure there are things that I am forgetting, and more to come, but I have to say this has been an epic summer!
This morning I found out that I was accepted to University of New England as a Pre-Med major... yikes! I am so excited for the new challenge and that I got into the school of my choice, but I am SOOOO scared that I will not be able to handle the work on top of running/working at my own business. Truthfully, if it ends up being too much, I think I will give up the day care before I give up on school. I really want to be able to finish my Bachelor's and then hopefully go on to a Nurse Practitioner program, PA program, or med school. Not sure what direction I will end up going in, but for now, I am really excited to have the opportunity to go to UNE and hopefully ROCK THAT SHIT!!! (excuse the language... just had to say it!)
As for baby making... Kristen and I are still kind of hanging out waiting until the time feels right to jump back into trying. It is likely that we will try next cycle (beginning of September), but we aren't locking ourselves into anything. This month I started using one of those Clear Blue Easy Monitors that tracks your cycle. Great idea in theory, but I apparently didn't ovulate (according to that machine). I am going to do my normal test strips next month in addition to the monitor to see if that thing is just a piece of crap or not. I am a bit skeptical that I didn't ovulate considering I tracked my cycle for 14 months and had very regular ovulation and then month 1 with that machine I didn't ovulate... seems fishy!!! We still need to buy some sperm and the donor that we were using doesn't have any vials and may not be releasing any more. I am ok with using one of our 'back ups' but I guess we need to make a decision who the lucky bachelor will be!
Anyway, that is what is going on in my life. I hope everyone is doing well in the wonderful world of baby making! I will try to start writing more once we jump back on the insemination wagon. For now, enjoy your summer!
Love the eclectic music and glad it's been a good summer. Re: the tracking, it was always a pain but always helpful for me to have at least two forms of tracking (for me it was cheap opks, smileys when I thought I was close based on the cheapies, and temperature) - I hope it is helpful for you when you use your two forms :). Congrats on schOol!!
