Random Thoughts

Not much too exciting going on here. I've been debating a bit about not blogging for a while because I'm pretty boring, but realize I like writing, so you can read if you want, or sit back and hope for some more exciting stuff sometime down the road.
  • I watched the temp drop 11 degrees in 4 minutes today in the car. It will drop another 20 degrees by morning. Welcome to Texas.
  • Two drinks can be too much for me to drink. I really do not have a problem with that, but I'm not sure other people really understand when I say "no more."
  • Everyone - young, old, single, married - needs to hear the sacred words "I love you" more than once in a blue moon.
  • Not much is going as planned for me so far this year. Right now some of it may seem like a bad thing, but I know ultimately it may be better things did not go as planned, and some of it just probably really doesn't matter one way or the other.
  • On that note, Lonestar 70.3 has gone from an "A" race to a "just finish" race.
  • I wonder how long it takes to get your heart and head on the same page.
  • My 1.5 day Spring Break in Beaumont was wonderful. Actually the last week and a half hasn't been that bad while a lot of people were on Spring Break - I had a pretty light week at work and the weather had been good until a few hours ago (see random thought #1).
  • I bailed on the HRTC Galveston ride for tomorrow and actually felt somewhat liberated doing so - once I remembered I'm not in charge any more and didn't have to go if I didn't want to.
  • On that note, I may wish I were in Galveston a few miles into the ride I am doing in the morning.
  • I got a text message yesterday afternoon from a wise woman that said "Listen to Randy Travis's Through The Fire." I did. Lyrics are here. "And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb. He never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time." My only choice right now (or any time, for that matter), as a Christian, is to keep fighting.
  • I've had ice cream for lunch far more than I should have lately.
  • I really, really look forward to going to church now and only regret not going there sooner.
  • I wish I knew who all read my blog. I got a small glimpse of my readers a few weeks ago, but I know there are still so many more (6,000+ hits in a little over 3 months). Who are you???

I will take chocolate and cupcakes over beer and margaritas. Weird, I know.

The weather is nutty. I am so glad I finished my run yesterday and was able to make it into my car just as the sky opened up and temps began to plumet. Now I am hoping I don't get blown away on a run later today.

Hey, at least it is no longer 36 degrees outside like it was this morning.

Yah...I don't really drink anymore either. 1 beer at the rodeo and didn't even finish it! LOL

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...

We did it!
