Linking up with
Danifred officially for the first time! Go me!
P will be 5 months old tomorrow. I still haven't done the folders on FB and Snapfish for month 4, much less month 5, LOL. Or the big email to family on his stats n stuff. SLACKER!
I can't believe I have a 5 month old son. Who babbles and shrieks and puts anything innapropriate into his mouth that he can. And who STILL does not sleep through the night.
I had a phone interview yesterday for a new job that will make
this worth it. Because if I get the job, it comes with new IF insurance coverage and a shot at a brother or sister for P.
Speaking of
this, my dear cycle buddy Nicole has started a "Save The Frosties" campaign if you haven't seen it yet. I feel so incredibly blessed. To have the friends that I do in this community. The support is amazing, and the power of the interwebs infinite. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
I have literally wept tears of gratitude multiple times this week.
Hubby has started a paper route...it's crap pay, but it may just keep our heads above the water when he finally starts getting paid.
My nipples are healed! Completely! Thanks AGAIN to Nicole!
On day 5 of Domperidone. Trying not to obssess over production yet. I have to order more *digs through couch cushions for change*
I had my VERY FIRST
guest post this week! I feel like I've cleared some sort of hurdle in the blogging world, you know?
I was hitting a serious depression streak the other day...until Nicole and all of you lifted me up.
Uh-oh, Bette Midler just started singing in my head. C'mon, join in...you know the song!!!
I "finished" making baby food. I.E. I finished the pureed stuff. I should make more variety, but, well, I may never run out...I really hope you learn from my over-enthusiastic pureeing expedition. I wanted to give you a pic of the total, but they aren't all out of their trays yet.
Again, I want to thank all my Bleeps, Feeps, and Tweeps for their love and support in Operation Save the Frosties. You are amazing, and I don't know what we would do without you. We are truly blessed.
Hey chica...hoping and praying you get that job! I am so very excited you might have IF coverage.
ReplyDeleteWe need munchkin pictures.
Hope the Domperidone does the trick for you.
I like this post! lot's of good things coming your way.
ReplyDeleteMe too, will keep my fingers crossed for that job offer! it sounds like a really good opportunity for you.
Blessed = I love that subtitle:)
I hope the job offer comes your way, it sounds like it has all sorts of great benefits.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm totally with you on the organization of pictures. I am SO behind!
Genevieve -- I'm here via Nicole via LFCA. I'm willing to donate to the "frosties" fund but can only contribute a modest amount financially -- but -- $500 sounds to me (fellow IVF mom) a lot for frostie storage (and I know from experience, frosties can be mobile). I'm willing to call clinics within a reasonable driving distance of you to ask what they charge for a year's storage if this might be a help -- please let me know. Seriously, I'll send you a spreadsheet with names, addresses, amounts, and notes if you might use it.
ReplyDeleteAs one example, just now googling, Fairfax Cryobank, which has a branch in Philly, will store embryos for a $40 monthly fee plus $210 for shipping and a (one-time) $45 handling fee. That's no real savings, but less up front, and it's at least possible they'd let you drive the embryos to them. I can't easily find pricing info for the other clinics in the ABE area (I've looked) but I really am willing to call. Just let me know.
I really hope you get that job...having IF insurance would be awesome!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite age for my kids was the 6 months to 12 month period! They all of a sudden seemed like real little human beings. Before that, they pretty much just slept, cried, ate, puked, pooped and peed. But at around 6 months is when they truly became more social and I had such a blast with them!!!
