I've been going about my life per usual. Nothing new and nothing to report. We haven't met with the doctor yet. I don't really feel like paying $200 for an office visit for him to tell us that he isn't sure why the IVF and FET didn't take. As for our next steps, I'm blissfully ignoring our next steps (or as blissful that I can be about this) . Frankly, we plain just can't afford much of anything. We've hit our limits, both for insurance and finances and also emotionally (at least for me). And that's ok. I'm not sure if we'll do anything this year or not. And if we do, I'm not even sure what that will be. DH is talking donor sperm over adoption. I'm just enjoying NOT going to the doctor or being on any drugs right now. (Even though I am still faithfully taking pre-natal vitamins every day - I'm sure I have way more folic acid then one person needs...!)
Last week someone vandalized our car. Our car was parked in the street last Sunday night (which it never is) and someone came by and smashed the side mirror of our car and about 7 other cars on our street at about 3:30 in the morning. How senseless. And just one more thing we have to take care of. We got it fixed (but none of the scratches) and actually came out ahead on the insurance payment. So that's nice. DH wants to use the little extra money to visit his brother this fall to go to an Atlanta Falcons football game. We should use it to pay doctors bills. But, I agreed to the trip anyway. Why not? It will be fun to go.
My brother offered to pay for half of my plane ticket to come out to Arizona to visit in a couple of weeks. While he is out of town for work, I'll be their day care provider for their 7 month old for one week. I'm excited for the repreive from work, for spending time with my sister-in-law and my adorable niece, and of course, the Arizona weather and the pool! Spending so much time with my little niece will either make me want my own baby even more, or it will make me grateful for not having to take care of a little one 24/7. Probably both. In any case, I'm looking forward to the trip.
Have fun in AZ! It's nice and hot here!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on paying to hear the same ol stuff....I hope this time you take, however long it may be, helps bring you to a decision and a step closer to your baby that I know you will have! Enjoy AZ!
ReplyDeleteThe get away to Arizona sounds wonderful! That totally sucks about the vandalism, so frustrating when things like that happen! Thinking of you as you try to decide when and what steps you guys want to take next. It's both a blessing & a curse sometimes all the options available these days. I remember feeling very overwhelmed with all the different directions one can go in attempting to have a child after we lost Lily. It's hard not only deciding for yourself what direction to go but then to agree as a couple on the same option is a whole other challenge. Lots of love to you my wonderful friend ((hugs))
ReplyDeletepeople really suck sometimes. i'm sorry about your car.
ReplyDeletethinking of you...
I think putting the money towards a trip and football game sounds like a great idea. Yes, common sense might tell you to pay the doctor bills, but having a trip like that to look forward to would be nice. Sometimes you need to just get away. :) I hope the AZ trip goes well.
ReplyDeleteHaving a break and time away can do wonders :))... sorry to hear about your car :( xo
