Picture Book

Here's a small glimpse of what I have been up to lately.
Last weekend I decided to get "crafty" and decorated a cork board to hang in my new office. The walls are boring grey/white and there is nothing colorful or exciting on them, yet.
Before:
After I added a few things - of course most of it is Molly, Kate, or Bennett related:
I am proud of my rare attempt at being crafty. The side and top green ribbon hides magnetic strips, so I do not have to poke hole in my pictures. I also figured out a way to bring PINK into my office without having to paint an entire wall that color...although I still want that...just don't think it would be approved.

Now, for yesterday's ride. We rode in Galveston down to Surfside Beach and back and then some. We were never more than a few hundred yards from the water and parts of it were just beautiful. The road to Surfside was washed out in Hurricane Ike, but it was just recently repaired and it is awesome. Ike made the beach a bit bigger, so in some places the road literally goes straight through the beach, with sand on either side...and not a single building for miles. I only stopped once, on the San Luis Pass, to take pictures, but should have taken more. It really was a pretty morning...that quickly turned into a hot, hot, somewhat windy day.

Yeah, that picture board is really bright pink! Glad I got to ride with you there for a while. How was Jana? I took off right after the police man rolled up.

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...
