Back from vacation

We got home from 10 days in Mexico late Tuesday night and I'm easing back into work this week. It'll be nice to have the three day weekend to catch up on laundry and settling back into home.

Having so much time to relax and rest and gaze at the beautiful ocean and the gorgeous sunsets was really good. It was also great from an IF and loss recovery perspective to get away from the internet, from home, from sad reminders and such. I didn't spend a bunch of time dwelling on the difficult months we've just been through, but it was very good for my mental health to have the space to sleep as long as I needed to and to just be. Now that we're back and my body is fully recovered I'm looking forward to increasing my level of fitness. April wasn't so great for me from a fitness perspective (well, and in many other ways too), so getting back to running and adding some yoga and hiking are on the agenda for the next days and weeks.

    Hi :)

    We just returned from a short trip ourselves, and feel as if I can take on the world again.

    Now I just need to find that motivation to get into the fitness side of things ;)

    ICLW.

    Welcome back. I know that grateful feeling of sleeping until I wake up. Here's hoping that you find ways to "just be" as you return to work. Peace.

    I'm totally jealous of your fabulous vacation. Husband and I have taken this year off from the baby making racket and just trying to focus on us instead of my uncooperative uterus. We are taking our very first vacation together (in the 8 years we've been together!) this December. We're going to Disney World. I'm excited and it'll be a nice change of pace and a great way to start off next year and our renewed efforts.

    Welcome home! I'm glad you were able to take a break and recharge your batteries, so to speak. Have fun hiking and getting in some yoga.

    The trip sounds great. My husband and I also got away to the beach (Dominican Republic) after our last IVF cycle failed. It was so rejuvenating and really gave us a chance to re-connect outside all the heartache of TTC.
