Huh, so summer vacation's almost over....

J and I just got back from a week long camping trip and I called my grandparents this morning to fill them in on our great adventure in the wilderness. My very non-campery grandfather was no doubt rolling his eyes on the other line as I rambled on about night hikes, meteor showers, happy hour by the campfire, ghost stories and my discovery that marshmellows are NOT vegetarian friendly. Then he asks, after a long pause: "So, when are you guys going to start IVF again?"

Huh. Yeah...was trying not to think about that. August's almost over.

The question has kind of had me in a daze all day. IVF. Again. Soon.

J and I have had a great summer. The alcohol, the camping, the chillin' on the porch, the alcohol...oh it has been a good, good mental vacation. One that I'm not sure I'm ready to give up yet. I'm not at all ready to dive back into fertility clinics.

J and I have had a few short conversations about where we both are with treatments. I want to start grad school, he is talking about doing some traveling. We haven't made any huge decisions - but we both seem to be on the slower end of getting this machine cranked up again. We have at least another month before we can get started (2 trips coming up)....so we'll see......

Can't believe the summer is over.....
