ReplyDeleteWish I was cycling with you. I'm wishing you the best of luck. I'll be here following your progress.

I have a son thanks to science and just got my bfp on valentine's day for the second one. Please don't lose hope! Anything can happen even with all the loss and sadness there is definitely a "unicorn that poops rainbows" at the end of the...well rainbow! :)
