My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

Happy Distraction

Since there hasn't been any major changes in our cycle yet, today's post is another off topic post.

Thank goodness for March Madness! My Bulldogs are making another run, hopfully deep, into the NCAA tourney and bustin everyone's brackets along the way! That's the way we roll :o) I wasn't able to watch their first round match up against ODU because they played during the day, and it's highly frowned upon to stop teaching children to watch basketball...although I don't know why! ha! So I had to periodically check the game score while my kids were working and playing in centers. I think it's a good thing I couldn't watch it though. Buzzer beaters are always fun but they send my blood pressure through the roof!

The second round match up against Pitt was sure to be a great game. I can't even count the number of times I heard TV announcers and talking heads not giving Butler a chance, but obviously they haven't learned from the past. You NEVER count Butler out, #1 seed opponent or not! We didn't get to watch the whole game, but we were able to see the most important and crucial part of the game. The last 7 seconds that seemed to last all night long! What a crazy ending! I'll spare you all the details, but wow. It took probably half an hour for my BP to go back to normal! My heart was about to beat out of my chest. I had 7 or 8 people sending me texts at the end of the game and I could barely keep up with all of them! What a game! So glad I didn't miss it! We were watching at a friend's house so I actually had to behave myself. Had we been at home I would've been screaming at the TV and probably jumping around on the couch. Instead, I sat with my head buried in my hands and mouth gaping open unable to believe what was unfolding in front of me.

So at least for now we have a wonderful distraction from IVF. Thursday night is going to be tough. Wisconsin isn't going to be easy, but I'm confident it's going to be another AMAZING game! GO DAWGS!
