Family Time

It has been a while since I have posted - I haven't really felt like I've done anything worth posting about lately! Just the regular ol' life stuff. I did spend most of the weekend with my mom which was nice and my sister and the girls came in town Sunday to drop Molly off for camp on Monday. I want to go back to summer camp!

I had a relaxing Sunday and actually did what most normal people might do. Mom and I ate lunch in the Village and then went shopping at Gap and Kids Gap. I got a skirt at the Gap and then we decided the girls needed something from Kids Gap. While there, I decided I apparently fit into what Kids Gap considers a kid's size. How sad that the world is coming to that, but also great for me that I can buy super cute clothes at half the price! So, I picked up a cute sundress there. Mom and I picked out 3 bathing suits and matching shorts for the girls. They were all very cute. Molly's had to look a bit different because she is the oldest and way over matching her little sisters. Kate's looks a bit hippy and flower-child like, but it suits her just great. And Bennett's is similar to Kate's. Any bathing suit in a size 12-18 months is just plain cute!

New outfits for the girls:
Bennett discovered my Bosu Ball - her new favorite "trampoline"
Molly, Bennett, and Kate at the pool
Bennett - happy as a lark in her own little pool

I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning and that almost killed me, but the breakfast afterwards was worth it. It is so nice to have made such great friends in the running and tri world. Meeting up with friends who ran in 3 different places for a Saturday morning breakfast is great! I did a 1.5 hour spin class on Sunday, but left after an hour because I was bored. It is amazing how different things are when I'm not training for an Ironman!

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....

Into the Donor Egg World We Go

As I sit down to write this, I'm shocked to see February 27, 2022 was the last post I've written about our IVF journey.  In some ways, it seems like so much has happened over the last year, and on the other hand it seems like nothing has happened at all because we are back to square one. I'll provide a quick summary of the last year, but please understand this won't even begin to describe the true roller coaster ride we have been on.  I actually don't think it is even appropriate to call it a roller coaster because that indicates there are some ups.  Our ride has been more like a train ride through hell. After our failed transfer in February, we decided to take a break in March to let my body rest a bit before transferring our next embryo.  During that time, a friend reached out and told me about her friend that hadn't had success here but did at CCRM in Colorado.  At the time it almost felt like a divine intervention, but I now know better.  We spent seven...
