September 11 - My "I Love You Day"

I keep making plans for this huge blog post about everything I'm doing/have done, but then find myself once again too busy or tired to sit down and do it - by this point it would probably be a full length novel.

However, today I do have a quick, but important to me, post to write.

Every year on September 11 I tell my friends and family that I love them.  May sound like no big deal, or like something that should happen way more often than once a year (and I do tell some way more often than this) but it is something none of us says nearly enough.  I encourage you to do the same - imagine how many people wished they had done so on that morning nine years ago.  It shouldn't take such a national tragedy to remind us to tell those we love how we feel, but sometimes it does take just that.

So....I LOVE YOU ALL!!! (now, pass it on!)

Love you too K. It was good to see you and Kim out at the Zilker Relays. I hope you had an awesome run the next evening. Hope to see you again at Longhorn in a few weeks.

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!
