Time Flies When You're NOT thinking about Infertility

Wow! How long has it been since I last posted here?  A pretty long time.  I even started writing this post in October...but now it is January.  My last post 7 months ago, in May, I was just coming down from a crappy bout of infertility treatments.  Since then, a whole summer and a majority all of the autumn AND Christmas season has passed us by.  And where does the time go?  So what did I do with myself?  A few things:

• As most of us experienced, the summer was hot and dry. And for me, devoid of any and all thoughts of infertility (at least for the most part).
• I turned 32.  Yup, 32.  Another birthday.  Husband turned 35.  Yup, 35.  Our biological clocks are ticking, but in our case, they probably were never really ticking to begin with!
• I agreed to teach a second Masters level class online on top of my full-time job in the fall.  What else am I going to do with myself?  There's only so many good TV shows and at least I can get a little extra pocket money...
• After working together [very closely] for over 7 years, my dear friend and co-worker retired. I miss her.
• I applied for a different position within my company in another state.  After 2 months of waiting, I found out I didn't get it. 
• I battled my insurance company for access to the preferred provider discounting after hitting the infertility max for the year. And I lost on appeal. Twice.  Still working on that one.  Finally appealed to our parent company, and got nowhere.  I give up.
• We're getting ready to go We went to Atlanta.  Sight-seeing, a Sunday night football game, and time with my brother-in-law's family in Alabama.  I need another vacation already!
• Halloween - I dressed up as a 20's flapper.  After first agreeing to be a mobster, Husband changed his mind and to be funny, dressed up as an injured Iowa Hawkeye's football player.  That's only funny if you know about college football and you're NOT an Iowa fan.  Husband thought it was hilarious. 
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas and new thoughts on babies (or lack there of).  I have a dream where I am having an ultrasound on my swollen, pregnant belly.  I am so happy [in my dream].
• New Year's and new thoughts on babies (or lack there of). But we still don't want to talk about it.  With others, to each other, or even with ourselves. We're not ready for adoption and can't handle another IVF (emotionally or financially).  What to do?

And so, 2013 brings on new hope as most new years tend to do.  So we've made an appointment for later in January to finally have our WTF discussion with our RE: 9 months later. Ah, what will the new year bring us?
