Did I ever tell you ladies that we now have insurance that covers the meds for IVF? But now DH is finding out that it would make the entire company's premiums go up if we had our insurance pay for the meds. Gah! Here we thought we were in the clear. For whatever reason, DH does not want to make everyone's payments go up by thirty bucks a month! I, on the other hand, could care less! LOL

Ronni, I am so very sorry for you and DH. There are no words.....

Kelly I have 4 dogs: 2 labs, 1 german shepherd, and the redbone.....

Shawna, i am sorry that your sil is such a loser. I hope it all pans out for you to cycle

Hello to everyone else
I am doing okay tired and moody and kinda in lurker mode. We had to order all new sinks today, so that means my kitchen is in limbo.........everything is already ripped out, so no sink or dishwasher or even counters until the new sinks come in next week and they can get them installed! I guess we will be eating lots of take out! I know it is early, but I am going to bed.

Martie, I hope all is well....

Brenna- what a state of limbo to be in as far as your kitchen goes! I hope you have tons of choices for take out and that maybe even your sinks come in earlier then they are supposed to!

Shawna...convince DH otherwise! 30 bucks a month is NOTHING. Our insurance has increased double digits! I think I am making less this year than I did 2 years ago. I shouldnt talk though..I do love the state of Massachusetts and their mandates!
I hope you get your ultra and everything works out.

He was yabbering on about somethign to work it out, so I'm sure it won't come out of our pockets in the end, but I do have to shake my head at him. He wants to be open with people about us doing IVF and yet, he doesn't want others to pay for it or something! lol

I took some pictures and I took a belly shot right when she was kicking a foot out and you can see it in the picture if you look closely near my rib cage. Of course I cannot download it right now b/c I can't find the adapter.

Brenna- I feel your pain. For me the contruction in my house was so unbearbale that I went to stay with my mom. I could not stand the mess and the sounds and smells. Ughh. I was miserable.
Take out is fun for a while but breakfast and linch are a pain in the you know what without a kitchen.

SLeep well everyone. Still waiting on DH to come home from work... I hate his hours...

Susan, although I'm a fan of Rose for a middle name for obvious reasons, I like the way Annabelle Grace flows. Any one of those combinations are lovely though.

Susan I always like Grace for a middle name. Its probably good luck too, given it means 'gods favour' or something like that. But Rose and Claire are both pretty too. Annabelle Claire rolls very nicely off the tongue too. I also like the full spelling, with the double 'n' and 'e' on the end.

So much happening today. So much to cry about and to be happy about. (Marties little Hannah). Does anyone know if shes okay by the way? I guess she doesn't have a cell phone still. I hope all is well with her and her little one.

Shawna, I'd love to see some pics of your mobile home. I think its all very exciting and adventurous doing what you are doing...selling up, moving out and waiting while you build your own home. Your stupid SIL is just jealous thats all. I can't wait to see pictures of your lovely new place when its finished.

Kelly...I LOVE SATC. I wish I were in Boston...we could all have a girls night out to watch it.

Jen, any news on the job front hun?

Brenna

Tia, I'll have to check out FB to see where you are in your cycle now. I have some more cheerleading to do.

Ronni..thinking of you tonight hun. I wish I were there to give you a huge hug.

Hi everyone I missed. Hope you are all doing well. I'm off to bed again, I just can't stay up like I used to these days. I miss you all lately though...I wish we had resolved our trip to Boston...I was so hoping that would happen.

I like Annabelle Grace....or Rose. Both are so pretty and perfect!

Alana - I wish you were here too!!! I wish we were all together.

Anyway, I am off to bed. Going to read more about the infertility cure. Did I tell you gals that DH STOPPED TAKING his zinc!!! I got so angry last night at him. Why is everything such a big deal or such a hardship for him! I feel like I am doing everything possible...

Sometimes I wonder if he wants kids! ARGHHH!

Susan, I am hugely partial to Annabelle Rose. Such a very beautiful name. Rose and Claire also have the French component to it since she'll have some French in the family right?
