Counting down...

Counting down the moments until we lose power, unfortunately we don't know when that will be.

The building next to me has been out for 3 hours now. I just heard 12 houses are on fire in Galveston and they can't do anything about it. I put a glow necklace on Scout so we can find her when the power does go out. We have the AC cranked all the way down and the freezer and fridge are set the same. Bored out of our minds right now, but probably not for long.

This storm has the exact same timing as Rita did. We did lose power in Rita around 8 and the storm really started hitting at midnight and the hard stuff lasted until 5 or 6, by 8 we weren't too scared to look outside anymore, and by noon we were walking around outside. I'm not looking forward to the next 15 hours or so if they are going to be like Rita.

Text messages will hopefully last longer than phone calls, but I'm not sure we will even have those after a while.

Galveston doesn't look so hot. Seriously. Apparently as many as 40% of the residents stayed. It is under water and on fire. How many people are going to survive that?

Ck with me if you totally lose power. If we still have it you can just come on out.

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...
