Laying low....
I have been checking out everyone's status and so many successes!! So happy for you. I hate typing on my phone or i-pad. I just turned in my grant for IVF, and I did exactly what I didn't wanna do which is wait to the last dang minute!! Anyways, it is what it is!! I am week 4 of my foster care classes and I have been really enjoying learning so much. I thought it would be a complete bore, but actually it's been inspiring to know that I could be such a blessing in a child's life. The presenter has 2 gorgeous adopted children and you know my nosey self is DYING to know her story. My focus has been on trying to maintain my weight loss and I just started a Biggest Loser contest and have over 20 participants to manage. My ZUMBA class at my new gym has over 50 students and I am so elated that they are enjoying my classes so much since people are PICKY when it comes to their ZUMBA instructor!! I still have my low days, but I try and feel them with hope! I have been second guessing going the donor egg route which makes me believe that I really need to put some more thought into it. Well, it won't matter because unless I get this grant I won't be doing anything!! This journey has been so hard ladies and I am ready to get off this ride!! Yet, in the meantime I am laying low!!

I so hope you get the grant and how nice to hear the foster classes are moving along so well... I am glad you have other external things to help focus your time on... as for the DE route I think once you know truly what you want to do it will all fall into place... hugs and stay strong
Glad you sent in your form for the grant. Really hope you get picked.
It\'s great that you classes are going well. I think adoption is such a wonderful thing.
Hugs
So glad you got everything turned in. I\'m intrigued by this grant. Where did you find this? I\'d love to read more about it!
Congrats on your weight loss and rocking your Zumba classes!
As long as you got everything in on time, that\'s all that matters! I wish I lived closer, I would love to take your Zumba class :-)
When will you know about the grant?
Congrats on your grant application. Praying you get the funding. Fostering is a wonderful thing. I just caution you to guard your heart. A therapist told us during our training classes that fostering would be especially difficult for us because of our IF history. Just make sure you are ready for it. So proud of you and you are 100% right He takes you on your journey and it doesn\'t ever go where you think it is going to go. We have to get together one day soon. :)
Laying low is fine but no disappearing!!! Sounds like even though you are laying low you are being really productive and proactive with life and not just your baby journey :) You are such a strong woman and I know you will be an amazing mommy one day, somehow!
Oh and I would totally take your Zumba class if I was near you....you\'d prob kick me out because my moves would be so embarrassing but still it would give everyone a really good laugh :)
Glad things are going well and I really hope you get that grant!!
Good to hear from you. I really hope the grant comes through for you so you at least have options. I am there with you on the donor thing. All of a sudden my gut is telling me to use my eggs. Maybe its my heart and brain. I don\'t know, but its not easy. I am glad you are enjoying the foster classes! I bet if you ask the presenter her story, she will tell you! I say ask.
Let us know when you hear about the Grant!
Really hoping the grant comes through. In the meantime, sounds like things are moving along well for you. I love that you are doing foster care and I would totally be nosey too about the presenter\'s story! Suffering through IF makes us want to know other IF\'ers stories....at least for me they are usually reasurring and helpful. Keep us posted on the grant!
Glad to hear that things are going well. I hope that the grant goes through and works out. Congrats on the Zumba classes and wale I got loss that is awesome. I too have been laying low, just waiting. I hope that things continue to go well and with some time I hope you are able to make a decision that you are comfortable with. Good luck.
Oops that is suppose to say weight loss. I also hate typing on my phone. Lol
Thanks for the up-date... I just started doing Zumba too, it\'s so fun!! Glad you got your paper work in on time and that you\'re enjoying your classes!! XO
I was wondering about you. I\'m glad you are keeping busy and staying positive. I hope everything works out for you!!
