Tears in Heaven

One perfect week. That is what Travis and I had last week. From 8/20-8/27 we were the 2 happiest people on the earth. We were pregnant! After 15 months and 2 cycles of Clomid, our dreams were coming true. Then the world crashed down around us. I lost the baby. I would have been 5 weeks pregnant. For whatever reason, we were not meant to have this child. Emotionally, we are both doing ok. Better than ok. Trav stayed home with me on Saturday and Sunday. After a little bit of encouragement from one of my BFFs, we went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday. It really helped. I was able to talk and receive encouragement from some of my best girls. Travis and I are determined to remain positive. We know that I can get pregnant and now just need to figure out the rest. We may be looking at my progesterone levels (they never rose with the pregnancy) when I get to talk to my doctor. Right now I am waiting on a call from the office about my second blood draw and my blood type. If I am B- like I think I am, I will have to get an RH shot. (I heard it stings like hell!!!)

I want to thank all the girls (and some of the guys) that I talked to on Saturday! You really raised both Travis and my spirits and gave us hope. We are not giving up yet!

Goal

After talking to Rachel last night, I realized that I needed to give myself a greater goal to motivate my butt to get off the couch. I may be out of my mind, but I just signed up for my first 5K! I am going to run in the Jingle Bell 5K to benefit the Arthritis foundation. The race is on 11/21. The best part... I convinced Travis to run it with me!!!! If any of you runners out there would like to join, our team is Team Wunderlich (I know, not very creative.) If you would like to donate to the Arthritis foundation, here is a link to my page

Can I just say that I am a little terrified. Never imagined that I would be signing up to run in any race. I am more of a fun walk person!!
