Epic readiness . . . Perhaps AW. : )

Hi Ladies!
I'm so relieved to be back! Well, back in that I finally got my signature fixed. I felt like I was only half myself with that old one on there.
Work has been exhausting and then DW was out of town for 2 weeks and, man, there just wasn't enough of me to go around!
So the best news, in my world, is that DW has fully launched on her journey to making us another baby. Last month she had a polyp removed and two weeks ago she did IUI #1. Her period was due today and all the tests say negative, so we are pretty sure there isn't a baby in there. We aren't stressed yet, so that feels good. We talk regulatarly about how having William just removes the sense of pressure to make a baby RIGHT NOW. I feel very lucky and don't take it for granted at all.
In other news, I'm still about 20 lbs overweight and am really, really struggling to try to make the scale move.
In other (and, frankly, more important) news, William is so very close to crawling! We are delighted by his mobility and his snuggly-ness and his morning chats. He talks and makes zerbert noises and coos--so very fun to hear his wee voice coming out.
Wonderful to see all the progress that is here--beautiful babies and nice round pregnant ladies and their happy wives and/or partners!

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
