I consider myself to be very fortunate in a way. I have never had to deal with a miscarriage in the almost 3 years of TTC. However, I guess that I could have been totally oblivious to the fact and not even realized what was happening, but I have never, and I repeat NEVER seen that second line on the HPT.
But when I read blogs about those who have had several miscarriages or even just one, it makes my heart hurt. I honestly can not even imagine how I would react if that were to happen to hubby and I. I really don't know that I would be able to function for a while. Hell, I'm pretty sure there would be a nervous breakdown involved.
On another note...I refigured how much it would cost us to go through with IVF and it comes out to about $12,000. That total includes my medications. Which, by the way, I still have an unopened box of a Gonal-F 300 pen and a box of cetritide. They are supposed to be expiring the end of July. I'm pretty sure we will not be able to do IVF by that time. I am going to have to figure out how to get some money back for that... :( Which I will then have to fork out yet again when we decide to do IVF.
I need to work on that Garage Sale I was wanting to have. I also need to come up with some other good money-raising ideas. So, Im asking again...does anyone have any good ideas?? :)

Anyone need some assvice?? Anyone??
So we all know that hubby and I are pretty much taking a nice long break at this moment right? Yes. Okay. Well, it seems that the rest of the universe has decided to start giving me assvice yet again. I don't think I can tell you how many times in the past week that I have had to hear..."you really just need to relax and not think about it." As if me saying that we are on a break opens up an invitation to give me all the assvice I never wanted. I mean come on.
Saturday was an interesting day. Hubby and I spent almost the entire day at one of his friends, celebrating his birthday. There was lots of beer and great food. I don't drink beer (gasp!), so while hubby is getting pretty much toasted at 4 in the afternoon, I have the pleasure of sitting with the mommy club and listening to all their complaints about kids these days. And yes, there were kids there. Several of them. I honestly felt like a complete outcast. I mean, who do I have to talk about other than Blaze? So...I have concluded that I would rather not do that any time soon again, unless there is some unexpected news for us. Ha!
Went to the grocery store last night. I would swear that every cracked out, pregnant chick was there. Normally, I do not mind this. But for some reason, last night really bugged me. Oh, you know, it might be because almost every single one of them had half of their big belly's hanging out from under their shirt. Thanks. I needed to see that.
Being a Social Worker I really shouldnt judge the ladies I saw last night, but seeing as how I pretty much know the signs when someone is using....it's a little hard not to.
I have a client who should be having her baby within the next couple of weeks. Im actually a little excited about it. She has been doing really well with everything and is trying to get her life back on track. Those are the clients I enjoy :) Especially when there is going to be a healthy, little girl at the end! Now, if we could just find her a car seat!!

Never fear...
I am going to start out by apologizing for not posting for a while. I promise I have still been reading everyone's updates! And making the occasional comment.
I dont have a whole lot to talk about right now. AF has come and gone and I am supposed to be taking BCP, but I am the worst about remembering those little things. I didn't take them last month, which was probably not the smartest decision, but I still have an ounce of hope that we can do this thing on our own. I need to make sure I take them this time, because Lord knows that my endo is probably creeping its way back into my system.
I need a vacation. I need a vacation really, really, really badly!! I am about at my end with my job right now. The sad part is...it's not even my actual job, it's the coworkers. I have to suck it up though because I have to take a week this summer for band camp. Oh well...Im trying to hang in there...
Time to get back to work...Ive been slacking on my notes with my clients...not good :)

Finally living our lives again
We are finally living our life like we were before we decided to start TTC. Hubby and I realized just the other day that neither one of us has even really thought about TTC for at least the past few weeks. For, I think, the first time ever...I have absolutely no idea what day I am on for my cycle. And to tell you the truth...it feels really good. I could not have imagined it would ever be like this. We were both so engrossed with having a baby that we weren't making any time for us. And now that we have had our unfortunate events for the year, we have had to start over. A fresh start with finances. We are actually a little ahead at this point. Well...kind of. :)
We bought hubby a different truck. It's definitely a lot better than what I thought we would ever be able to afford, but the dealership worked with us and we had a little bit to put down from the insurance. We ended up getting hubby's dream truck pretty much :) A black 2007 Ford F-150 Crew cab (a lot bigger than what he had). Payments are about $10 more than what we were paying. He is happy.
We used a little bit of the money that we got back from taxes for a new tv and saved the rest for our roof we will be doing here before too long.
We have decided to go on a cruise next March with hubby's parents, sister and BIL, aunt, grandma, aunt and uncle, two other couples who are friends of the family and possibly a couple others. It should be pretty fun. We need a vacay sooner, but a cruise should be a blast!
Im still looking for different employment. It's not going so well. I know that now is not the most opportune time to be looking, but man, I need a new job! My immediate supervisor asked me if everything was alright the other day because I have been keeping to myself a lot. I didn't realize it was that obvious. So, I pretty much spelled it out for her about having issues with one of my coworkers. We will see if anything is done.
Sorry to have been MIA lately. Winterguard is over now. We didnt make it on to State Finals, but the kids had a wonderful season anyway :) I am extremely proud of them!
