5 Days Until Seattle!!


Only 5 days until Seattle!  We are so excited, we've been trying to get all of our ducks in a row to make the trip.  We have a great VRBO reserved on Lake Washington for a couple days of relaxing and laying low with Bridget.  Speaking of Bridget...

Need I say it again?  She's AMAZING!  She had an ultrasound and blood draw last week to check her estradiol level again and the thickness of her uterine lining to prepare for transfer.  Her estradiol level needed to be over 105- nailed it, she's at 506!  Our doctors wanted to see her uterine lining above 7mm and B's is 12 mm.  She blew 7mm out of the water.   Because she is doing so well, she luckily gets to utilize that gigantic needle above, for all the nurses and healthcare professionals out there, it is a 25 gauge needle that has .5 ml-1 ml progesterone in oil (very viscous) in it.  She will start giving herself these injections for the next 5 days and will continue for 10-12 weeks post transfer if she becomes pregnant.  These injections are painful and daily.  Keep her in your thoughts and prayers, she deserves every one!

Our lives don't ever seem to slow down, we are running a marathon in the Sigler household.  Jaiden has been recovering for the last 6 months following a meniscus repair in her R knee since an injury benched her in February of last year.  She started her sophomore year of volleyball tryouts last Friday and received great news of making the Belgrade JV and Varsity teams.  She is a young, incredibly talented and passionate setter.  We are all very excited for the season.

Olivia started her first year of competitive soccer here in Bozeman and will be doing a lot of traveling in the coming months.  She gave up softball last year to focus on soccer because that is her favorite.  She is brave and plays with the Bozeman league, which is separate from her middle school in Belgrade.  She's finally growing like a weed now that we have weathered what we hope was the storm of her Thyroid disease. 

What this really means for us is, at least 2 practices a night Monday- Friday's, sometimes games included, possibly in different cities, and at times even different states.  With Cody working in PNG we are going to busy!  That being said...we are so incredibly blessed to have these athletic experiences with our girls.  Go Panthers and Bozeman Blitzz!

Cody is adjusting to life at home just in time to turn around and head back to work for another month.  His first hitch away he lost 23 pounds!  Today is our 70th day of marriage and he received his 3rd wedding ring in the mail!  With all the weight he lost he lost a whole ring size as well.  This next hitch he plans on taking some American food with him so he has sufficient caloric intake.  :)  We've been spending a lot of time on the golf course and our raft on the river soaking up as much Montana sunshine as possible.  We were lucky enough to have dinner with a friend of ours who we've known since Kindergarten.  This last weekend we spent an afternoon with Cody's dad and sister's family at Pine Creek celebrating a very special birthday to our niece Virginia Skye.  We are cherishing our friendships and family every chance we get.  With our busy schedule it's been hard to find time for everyone, but we are doing the best we can with our limited time. 

Our sights are set on Seattle now...the countdown is on!
