journey to motherhood hasn\u2019t been an easy one.\u00a0 She\u2019s always loved children and works with them every day as a high school teacher.\u00a0 After trying to conceive for over a year she consulted a fertility specialist.\u00a0 Due to very low ovarian reserve and a completely blocked fallopian tube, she would need some help getting pregnant.\u00a0 As if the pain of infertility wasn\u2019t enough, now they would have to incur the cost of IVF.\u00a0 After all the shots, the egg retrieval, and the fertilization they ended up with 6 embryos.\u00a0 In July 2016, two embryos were implanted on the first try and they are expecting a baby girl due April 2017!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4722\" alt=\"\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>Throughout these ups and downs, Ely and her husband, Paul have been avid crossfitters for the past three years.\u00a0 During the IVF process she had to take over a month off from doing any type of exercise. \u00a0Higher exercise levels can affect the ability for the embryo to implant and also increases the chances of pregnancy loss. \u00a0She eased back into taking classes after being given the green light in mid August.\u00a0 Throughout her pregnancy she has consistently taken 4 classes a week.\u00a0 She has modified certain skills as they&#8217;ve gotten harder, impossible, or just not a good idea to do any longer: burpees, box jumps, rope climbs, pull-ups, toes to bar. \u00a0Despite the modifications, she&#8217;s not holding back!<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s had some pretty
