I Don't Like Ike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ike needs to turn around and go back to where he came from. He is ruining a PERFECTLY good weekend for me, already.

Shellie and I have been planning our last long run for St. George in Austin for a few weeks now and I've been getting more and more excited about it. Augie was going to come along as well and do a bike ride on the Longhorn 70.3 course while we were running.

Now Ike is probably going to prevent us from stepping outside the entire weekend, no matter what part of the state we are in. We were planning to run in Austin to get some much-needed hill work in. Looks like that has gone out the door. The storm is forecast to hit around midnight Friday right now, but people forget when they are looking at those maps that that is the eye of the storm, not the whole storm. Ike is huge right now and is going to start causing problems in Houston and Austin starting Friday and lasting until who knows when. I doubt we would even have much luck getting to Austin any time after Thursday night if we tried.

So now we are potentially screwed because we really need to get a long (20-22 miles) run in this weekend. Next weekend will be too close to the marathon and we had a "down week" last week and I only ran 15 miles. Grrrrrrrrrrr............... I also sooooooooooo needed the weekend away. Ugh.

I will still be out running in the rain and wind on Saturday morning. Just as long as there is no lightning I am all for braving the elements!

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...
