Ah, a full pot of honey. Cool, summer day. Flower-filled meadow. Good friends. Melanie the Pooh. Or maybe Ee-yore without the "woe is me". I will admit this only to you, blog land, but I'm a girl without much drive this summer. Today for example I find myself longing for Friday because then Saturday will be the next day. And Saturday brings a good float in the pool, a nice spy trash novel, and later, a cocktail. I call it the Just Coastin' Cocktail, vodka, fresca and a splash of cranberry. Ahhh.
I haven't enjoyed summer this much in a long time.
E and I are going to San Juan, Puerto Rico next Wed. for a long weekend. It's his birthday and we wanted to get away somewhere relatively easy to get to. The place we're staying has a casino and a spa. And a bar. I doubt that I will lose the ten pounds I planned to lose before next Wed., so I go with a light heart and a slightly chubby physique. No worries. Those ten pounds will be around to lose after San Juan. And it's true, tan flab looks a lot better than pale flab.
And on the infertility front, I ordered my meds today. $2,800. Not quite the same event it was the first time around, but that's ok. Start sometime mid-August, so I've got a few weekends to go.
I'm going back to my meadow now.

About Me
- Melanie
- I'm a 39 year old lawyer, married since June 2006, who never thought it would take 365 days, much less 365 steps, to get knocked up. 880 days later, the final IVF (the hail Mary pass) turned into numerous positive pee sticks and a sticky embryo. My sweet baby boy was born August 18, 2009.
A brief history in time...
November 2007 - IVF #1 Nada, negative, zilch
January 2008 - FET #1 cancelled
February 2008 - FET #1 take #2 BFP but fleeting, m/c
August 2008 - IVF #2 .... Nothing positive about it, negative
December 2008 - IVF #3 BFP
Twins, but lost Little B at 7w5d
Little A measures 6.8 cm on 2-18-09
March 31, 2009 - Little A is a boy! (who weighs 7 ounces, less than a full beer)
August 18, 2009 - My Little Adam enters the world, 11 days early, at 6lbs 12 ounces.
December 25, 2009 - Adam's first Christmas, weighing in at an impressive 17 pounds.

Ordering the meds is a big step.
Glad to hear you're having a chilled summer. Hope the trip is fantastic. And 10 lbs can be easily hidden with a tan!!
Thank the gods someone is having a good summer! Seriously, take full advantage of it for me; my summer's totally cashed, dude.
Have fun in PR!
enjoy the summer and puerto rico! drink some good rum for me. mmmm, rum. and when you get back, it sounds like you'll have a big ole bag o tricks waiting for you.
I have been as lazy as all getout this summer. And mostly, I am ok with that. It's been a rough year.
Ugh! IVF drugs are ridiculous! I am hoping mine is not as expensive this time, because I have lots of leftovers from my last flop.
Have a fantastic vacation! That sounds wonderful!
Enjoy your floating weekends, trip to PR, and a few weeks without meds! Wish I could come float in your pool with you...I'd probably sink to the bottom.
Glad you are enjoying your summer! Have a great trip to PR! My dh and I go there every November for our wedding anniversary. The break will be good before you start up again.
I'm so jealous of your lovely lazy summer!!! Keep it up. I'll live through you vicariously ; )
So so jealous, its freezing here!
