This is my disclaimer: I created my blog to share only fertility related information because when I was trying to conceive I liked to read other people’s journeys, so I thought I could put one out there for other people (strangers) to trip upon that were trying to get pregnant. It was not my original intention to share it with family and friends, but then recently when we had our loss I emailed it out to everyone. It was just easier to have people check that out I guess. I make this confession because I am a little embarrassed that I shared all that fertility junk, but it is what it is.
Now for the regular updates: On my birthday recently I had a delicious ice cream cake from Cold Stone. Just before picking up the cake though we went to pick up Cali from the funeral home since it was on the same end of town. I received a call earlier in the day to let us know she was ready to pick up. Dom and I came to the decision to have Cali cremated mainly because we did not want to suffer though another funeral for a baby. That was one of the things I dreaded the most when Orion passed away. Before picking her up we were planning on just spreading her ashes in Santa Barbara with family and then go for lunch together, but now that we have her we both feel the urge to keep her. We will still go to lunch with family in Santa Barbara though even if we don’t do the memorial! How about lunch at The Habit? Mmmm, good stuff. I can’t wait to visit.
We decided to visit Florida for our vacation later this year. I want to visit Miami and Key Largo to see some tropical water. Dom is looking forward to the theme parks of Orlando. It will be a nice vacation for both of us to enjoy. I’d like to visit an aquarium while we are there since that’s one of our favorite things to do as well. I was looking online at the aquarium in Miami and it looks like a place I’d like to see. At least we have some time to make plans.
With that vacation in mind I went to the gym yesterday to start jogging again. I was up to a mile just before I got pregnant, so I hope to get to that point pretty quickly again. Yesterday I think I over did it though. I planned on only jogging a few minutes and ended up challenging myself to just go a minute longer for a few minutes too many. I am sore. I have apparently not used my jogging muscles in six months! I'll get over it though.
