Change of Plans

January has nearly come and gone and no embryo transfer for us.  Life was moving too fast.  And I guess what it boils down to is the sum of a whole lot of things:  The last failed transfer was rough emotionally, we are loving life with Lena, I don't feel physically myself yet after my pregnancy (many pounds to lose still), we are not financially ready for another transfer, etc.  We are thinking of doing our fourth embryo transfer in July or August and in the mean time we are going to keep on exercising and maybe run a race!  (I've got my eye on a few half-marathons..)  We will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in true Shackleton fashion by taking a long, adventurous family trip to Central America.  Visit family in Seattle where we haven't visited in several years.  (In fact WA peeps!  I am in Federal Way now- email me if you want to meet and chat over coffee! eshack621@aol.com)  Do a lot of eBay selling and maybe a few fundraisers to pay for the transfer and meds.  Take lots of day drips to Knott's, Chuck E Cheese, the park, the petting zoo, the beach, and generally just soak in this lovely time of being a family of three.
