We're in the midst of working on The Project again... try number three on the third cycle of trying tomorrow morning...
We're hoping the third time is the charm.

We're Just Chillin'
This time around we're just taking a very laid-back approach.
No big fanfare, no big statements, just a very laid-back, easy-going... well... zen-like approach.
Ommmmmmm.
I'm immersed in work and teaching... Crash is immersed in work and teaching... and we're just plowing ahead with life, full tilt.
I must admit the 21st is on the calendar. And I glance at it pretty regularly.
But it's not looming as large as it did last month.
Still... it's there... and we know it's there.
We think of Kaleigh every day.
And hope. Even if that glimmer of hope is a small little ray of bottled-up sunshine. It's there with us. All the time.
And that's pretty awesome. :)

Okay
I'm okay, maybe just feeling a little sheepish.
Rich and I were talking last night, and I made him chuckle when I admitted that this was certainly not the first time I'd been quite certain that I was pregnant, and then wasn't. I probably singlehandedly kept early pregnancy test manufacturers in business during the mid-to-late 1990's and even into the early years of this decade.
I'll go on record right now and say this: it really is frustrating that so many early pregnancy symptoms are identical to PMS symptoms. I think many women will agree with me. Mother Nature, can you please work on that?
My approach is different this month. And the change I'm making was successful in making my two kids. When we tried to conceive our first child, the first month didn't work, but the second month did. What changed? I kept a temperature chart the second month. Religiously. And when we decided we were ready for a second kid, I charted again, and got pregnant pretty much instantly. (The added benefit? The temperature chart told me I was pregnant, and I only used one test with each pregnancy.)
That was a decade ago, when the internet was still pretty new. Nowadays (I think using that word just aged me at least two decades), there are so many resources online to help couples chart, plan, and hash out every detail of a possible pregnancy. Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming.
So I'm sticking to plain old Excel. Which is on my pocket pc. Which is old. And that's fine with me.
