No Mono

So that's the good news - I don't have mono this time around. The bad news is I'm pretty sure my bronchitis is viral as it isn't so much responding to the antibiotics. So that means at least another week or so of feeling blah and not breathing normally. That is better than mono though, so I guess I have to take it!

I did do a semi-long run Saturday and slowed way down and actually felt great, so that is promising. Friday night we had a baby shower for Lisa which was lots of fun. I was in charge of dessert and made brownies with white chocolate/cream cheese icing, strawberry and chocolate cupcakes, and chocolate chip cookies. Yum.
Saturday night my sister's family came to stay with me to pick up Molly from camp on Sunday. It is a family affair for us now - even my parents go - because my sister and I grew up at the same camp. It is also the only way my dad will ever see us on Father's day. Kate signed up to go next year and was so excited as we made the last turn down the 5 mile road to camp that she could barely contain herself. I don't think she wiped the grin off her face all day! I wish big kids (me) could still go to camp!

When I got back to Houston, Miranda had friends over to cook out by her pool. We had quite the spread of food and it was the perfect way to end the weekend.

Of course yesterday I was toast by 4pm and scratched all workout plans and just went to bed instead. Oh the joys of being sick.

That's totally what's missing in our grown up lives: summer camp.

I'm gonna take my summer camp theme with me to CdA.

I did camp all the way up til my Sr. year in high school and then I went back after I graduated and was a camp counselor.

Way fun!!!

I'm glad to hear it isn't mono, still crummy to be sick though. Looks like you aren't letting yourself miss much though. :)

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...
