Slacker!
I know I haven’t posted here in forever! It has been a really busy summer and I have felt a real need to take a big step back.
Generally, everything is going great. We had a wonderful trip to North Carolina and then Vegas. Gwennie stayed with GG in the mountains whilst Bill & I ran away to Sin City for 5 days with some friends. It was fabulous… we saw 3 wonderful Cirque shows, ate amazing food, drank a bit, and renewed our vows at the Graceland Chapel with Elvis as our witness!
Since getting home, we have sold our house and have a contract on another one. We hope to be closing on both homes on September 15th! We have a big PackRat in our driveway and are slowly packing all our things up in readiness for the big move! Exciting and scary.
I decided to put my acupuncture plans on hold until we are settled in our new home. I just felt I couldn’t focus on trying to get pregnant whilst moving house at the same time. Too stressful. So I am giving myself an emotional break, although I promised to keep doing the OPKs so that I can get an idea on what is going on with my cycle.
I really felt good about giving myself a timeout. Once again I am surrounded by friends who are pregnant and there are days when that can be very hard, despite my feelings of joy for them. But, although I am exhausted, I am grateful to have lots of things going on at the moment to help keep my mind off my desire to get pregnant again.
Now where is that off-switch again? 
Photos from Vegas, anyone?
Just a little taste of the fun!

Yeehaaa… an update! You’ve been missed big time. I’m so happy you guys had a good time in Vegas (your Elvis was a huge guy, even Bill looks small beside him). Oh, and even more so to hear about the successful house-sale. Things are happening… Everything else will fall into place when the time is right.
Sending a big hug! xx

I know it’s very hard to “switch off” mentally even though you have made up your mind to do that. I do hope things will fall into place once you have moved and settled into your new home, and that you can start a new life in every sense! Big hugs xxooxx
