We had our second ultrasound today!  The doctor had originally told us my due date was September 2nd, but now it's changed to August 31st.  Today marked exactly 9 weeks and our baby has all it's organs and arms and legs!  He or She was moving around like crazy, which the doctor said was a great sign.  Today was our last visit with the fertility clinic so we will be looking in to a new doctor at Community North Hospital in Indianapolis.

Happy Thanksgiving! I don't know if it's our fear of losing control or what, but Kellen and I always seem to step up our fitness game around Thanksgiving time.  We started our Thanksgiving morning off with my brother, Josh, and his fiance, Jess, running 3 miles on the hilly trails of Hawthorne Park.  It was ROUGH and according to our smartphones we burnt 500 calories or so! You know, it may not just be due to our fear of losing control around the holidays, but also the fact that our IVF shots start tomorrow morning.  My countdown to lazy, couch-potato, non-alcoholic, and non-crossfitting days is on and it's coming fast!  I'm already going through the "high school acne breakout" phase of IVF as a result of the birth control pills they started me on a few weeks back.  Apparently, those birth control pills were necessary to put my cycle on track with their IVF schedule for their December patients.  And now that we're right on their schedule, we begin two s...

Mindset and Recap of Today's Egg Retrieval

Here are some of the things I think about when going through an IVF cycle after failing the two previous IVF cycles: 1.  What's on the calendar for us after 6/22 and 6/24 (the days of my pregnancy tests)?  Thankfully, we were invited up to Kellen's step moms lake house with her and my father-in-law the weekend right before, so that will be a great little getaway.  We always have a good time hanging out with them.  We're heading up to one of Josh's series in July with Katie and Brian for another fun getaway.  I've also got their wedding, and my friend Lauren's wedding coming up shortly after this cycle - including some crazy fun bachelorette parties to attend!  There are many fun things in my near future, and I get to enjoy these times with some of the greatest people in my life.  No matter what happens this month, I have a lot to look forward to. 2.  What can we do and where can we go as a family of three?  We're looking to move/build...

How I Gained My Sense of Self Throughout This 14 Month Pregnancy

I'm just over 8 months pregnant, 32 weeks and 4 days to be exact.  I really can't believe how long it took to get to this point and I still have some time left to go.  This pregnancy feels like it started in December 2014.  Probably because it basically did. It was around that time, in late December 2014 when we dove back in to the world of IVF.  I had previously spent much of 2014 dialing in hard on my diet and my workouts (for the sole purpose of "I can" and "I will" and because that's where my passion lies) and thoroughly enjoying how I felt and the body I created through all that hard work and determination.  I knew the following year was going to be devoted to IVF and [hopefully] a pregnancy.  Having succumbed to this life consuming, self sacrificing treatment before, I knew how challenging it was and that challenge motivated me greatly to make the most of myself before those days would engulf me.  My endorphins were pumping that summer.  I...
