Heeeeelllllllllllooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you all were very worried because I hadn't posted in so long.  Lots has happened, but I just haven't felt much like writing.  Race reports for Lonestar 70.3 and The Gusher Half Marathon will be coming soon...hopefully.

And now for some random thoughts:
  • I'm out of town 4 of the next 5 weekends - part of me wouldn't mind if that were going to be 5 of the next 5 weekends.
  • I'm going to San Diego today for a long weekend.  Whohoo!  I cannot wait.  I might not come back.
  • I'm taking two weeks off of anything athletic after this weekend - my body (and mind) are screaming for a break.  I have taken it very easy in the three weeks since Lonestar, but not easy enough.  I'm tired and half sick (I think some of it is allergies), so now's the time to take a break.  I'm actually looking forward to it and have some fun things planned during the time I would have usually been working out.
  • DQ Blizzards, unfortunately, don't fix everything.
  • I'm now officially a member of St. Luke's United Methodist Church - I even ushered at Sunday night service last week.
  • I want to give a shout out to Kim, Melissa, and Monica - you guys rock!
  • Kelly rocks too, but she knows that, and we are about to spend 4 days rocking together!
  • My mom is the proud new owner of a Garmin 305...and her OWN new pair of walking shoes (instead of using my 400+ mile old shoes).
  • I miss Molly, Kate, and Bennett.  I haven't seen them in a while.  They are actually coming to Houston this weekend but I won't be here to see them.

I think was Facebook I'd "like" this. And while I do know I rock it's nice to hear it again. You get here in 5 1/2 hours!!!

Glad to hear that things are going well! Enjoy your time off and be sure to tell us all about it :)

Ahh... I was wondering why the break. I miss you on Saturdays, but completely support the plan. We were members of St. Luke's for a really long time until we got fully entrenched in living in the burbs. We loved it, and I still miss it. I made some of my best friends in Houston there, which helped round out my otherwise exclusively tri group. I hope it is a good home for you.

Kathleen;
Do not think you will ever be a "guy". Good on you re: St Luke's membership. Sammie Kay and I are still planning on Spindletop so far. Hope we see you there and enjoy your time off. Best to you.

Your pics from San Diego looked awesome! Glad to hear you are having fun. We have to finalize those ride plans with Kendall.

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!
