Soul Sisters


I had a fabulous weekend with some amazing women. I rested, relaxed, laughed, cried, and everything in between. It was exactly what I needed. I never truly realized how close I could be with someone I have never met and only bonded with over the internet. These lovely gals are my soul sisters and my life truly wouldn't be the same without them in it. They have been better friends to me than any of my IRL friends and I will be forever greatful to them for that. I only hope that I've been able to do the same for them. Love you bunches Jamie, Carli, and Melissa.
I hope next year or the next trip I will be able to meet and see some of the other wonderful ladies who have supported me along the way. Katie, Kerri, Ellie, Des, Lau and all my Blogger friends, thank you for caring about me and supporting me along the way. You have all been life-savers, literally.
In the morning, we go in for our IVF-Start appointment. I've been on Lupron for 5 full days and still don't have AF. Who knows maybe she won't come. I've had lots of headaches and several hot flashes, but otherwise have been okay. I'm hoping my baseline U/S looks good and I will get the go ahead to start my Stims. Can't wait!

  2. Sounds like a great way to relax before the cycle. Hope your appointment went well.

    I recently started a new blog to document our fertility struggle.

  6. I'm glad you girls had so much fun too! I wish I could've been there- but next year I will be. You all mean the world to me too!

    How did your appointment go? Once you start the stims, things will go really fast. Can't wait to hear more!

  7. Love you girls!!! Wish we could've been there. I have a feeling this is going to become an annual event, though, and eventually we'll all be meeting with our kids in tow! :)

  8. It was an amazing weekend and I am finally able to process it and its significance. Melissa, you have been a tremendous support for me. Thank you! It was great to laugh and to cry and to be able to just be myself around you all. It all went too fast and I remember just wanting to take it all in and holding onto it. I so look forward to planning another trip next year and hope to connect with some of the other ladies, too! I love you, Melissa!
