Bridget Jones Goes to the Car Wash

This wind is starting to cause problems outside of bike riding - as if that hasn't been bad enough!

I've been driving lots of people around lately to bike rides in my car because it can nicely fit 4 people and 4 bikes.  It has gotten ridiculously dirty, so I thought I'd wash it today before loading it up again in the morning with people.  I went right after work and had on a full knee-length orange skirt.  I first had to hop out quickly in said skirt with my vice grips and ratchet to pull the bike rack off my car so I could take it through the wash.  I noticed it was a bit windy when I was doing that, but I managed okay.

After I drove through I drove up to a vacuum station and hopped out to put the rack back on and to vacuum my car.   And the wind blows again.  Gees.  My hands weren't exactly free to keep my skirt down, but I don't think it ever got too bad (at least I'm telling myself that).  Then I start to vacuum and again the wind just keeps blowing and blowing and blowing.  Gees.  I wonder how many people I've given a show by this time.

And if that wasn't enough, I go in for the best move of them all...I was done with the vacuum so hung it back up on the little vacuum holder thing, but the time hadn't run out so it was still going.  No big deal.  I am standing in my driver door leaning in my car cleaning more things with my handy little Windex wipes and am annoyed the wind is blowing yet again.  Then....yes...half my skirt is in the vacuum in the back.  AWESOME.  I have to climb back out of the car and fight the vacuum to get my skirt back.  I looked around to see who all had seen this nice little show and no one was blatently staring, but I'm sure plenty saw some or all of it. 

I guess the lesson learned is to not wash your car right after work...

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...
