Spring Break in Pictures

Enough of the Debbie Downer posts - time for some pictures. I haven't posted any in forever (mostly because I don't have them), but I did take a few on my phone during my "Spring Break" a few weeks ago to share.

Saturday I went to a crawfish boil at Denisse's house.  We've been friends for 22 years.  That's pretty cool.  No pictures from the crawfish boil - I need to get better about that!

Saturday night was full of baking for Sunday's No Boys Allowed (except a few special boys) ride in Brenham:


Our bike ride was beautiful - we rode 50 miles total, with a stop at the Southern Flyer Diner at the Brenham Airport at mile 45.  These pictures were taken from the porch of the diner.


Monday I headed to Beaumont for my 1.5 day Spring Break with my family.  We visited Mrs. Clark across the street while she fed the animals. I had no idea Kate and Molly were such horse lovers!  They were in heaven.
Bennett...not so much...
They have a small owl that lives in the barn too - hard to see, but look just below the orange/red piece of metal in the picture.  He's tiny and very cute!

The weather was a bit dreary on Tuesday, but I still made it out for a quick 25 mile ride before the rain came.  Living in Houston, be able to get to this (wide, smooth highway shoulders, pictured below) from the driveway, less than 10 miles from home, without risking certain death, is something to be coveted:

Once Bennett fell asleep for her afternoon nap, Elizabeth, Kate, Molly and I snuck out to get manicures and pedicures.  That is tied with the crazy jumpy thing at the mall as Kate and Molly's favorite thing to do in Beaumont.  Thanks Mom!

Lastly, we went to dinner Tuesday night to celebrate my sister's St. Patrick's day birthday.  It is scary to see Molly growing up - she was wearing skinny jeans!  And once again, Bennett wasn't having anthing to do with a camera:

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...
