I will have to try the chocolate milk trick! I love chocolate milk!

Well, I got a letter today, maybe yesterday, from my RE and they told me that they contacted my insurance company and they cover NOTHING! So we are now going to have to start saving for our appointment. I think the first visit is somewhere around $1000. I wish my money tree would grow faster....hahaha! I did get a call from my PCP dr office, and they said my insurance company will be contacting me regarding my referal so we'll see what they have to say. It kinda made me depressed about it, I guess I was hoping that they might cover something, but I guess I should have prepared myself for the other answer. Its just a bummer. But if this is what we want to do, we have to figure out a way to pay for it.

I am sorry you had sucha crummy day at work. There is nothing worse than having to cook dinner when all you want to do is relax. Cooking takes time, makes a mess, and then you have to clean up the mess you made. I understand perfectly. I am the cook around here. Carley doesn't cook and my mil does but she says she has been doing it for so many years that she shouldn't have to anymore. I don't mind except they are picky eaters. Denise will only eat corn and green beans for a vegitable- and I mean out of a can . Not even fresh or frozen. Only from a can. Carley is getting better cause I make her atleast try it, but she really has come a long way from when we first got together. Denise on the other hand, likes boring meals, she could cook the same meal everynight of the week and be okay with that. We eat cereal for dinner so night cause I don't want to cook. I was really bad today though, I ate a bag of popcorn for breakfast. OH, and cause I am such a good friend, I'll have that drink for you, since you are in the TTW! I know, you don't have to thank me.

I hope that you are getting pg signs but I am sure you are trying to keep cool and not over analyze it. Its very understandable.

I hear you about a vacation. I can't wait for spring break. That is the the good thing about my job is that we get holidays and summers off. Its really nice, except this summer I am going to be working. I am secretly hoping maybe I will be pg so I don't have too...hehehe. Carley won't make me if I am pg. BUt we will see.

It good you like your job. Sometimes I think people don't realize how much they really do depend on you and can take advantage of that. I hope that maybe he can realize it, I bet you are a very hard worker.

I shall miss you this weekend but I am sure you will have a great time with your mom. I am going out to my moms house tonight, I think she misses hanging out with me. She asked if I could come out and almost begged me. It was really sweet. I think she enjoyed out time together a couple weekends ago. She likes me I think! Let me know how your weekend was when you get back. I won't be on tomorrow I will be on a school bus trip all day, so hope you have a good weekend. Happy and safe travels.

Well, I have to go to the bank before they close. I hope you had a good day. TTYS!

I wanted to tell you this while I was thinking about it....I can't imagine what that RE would do on your first visit that would cost you $1000. My first visit cost me $275 (these are all without insurance). That was pretty much just for him to meet with me and write my Rx. The next visit I had was my HSG which was around $300 (this is completely optional, you don't have to do it) then I had my day 12 u/s which cost me $180.00 and then the insemination which cost $175.00. So even with all of those things I haven't hit $1000 yet. I just didn't want you to stress about it too much. I would call them back and ask them exactly what is done on that first visit that it costs so much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a bad food day. I ate like a mad woman today!

I think we've decided on Asheville, NC for our little vacation. We went there once a few years ago but didn't stay there. We are going to try and get a house in the mountains and just take a good book and relax. Asheville is supposed to be a very Lesbian town so hopefully it will be fun!

I hope you had a good trip with the kiddies on the bus and a nice visit with your mom. I just finished baking my moms birthday cake, a chocolate pound cake, and its all I can do not to cut into the dang thing!

I'll miss chatting with you this weekend too! I'll be back on Sunday so I'll check in with you then. Have a great weekend!

TTYS!

justduckie · 03-23-2007, 10:55 PM

I hope your weekend went well, even though its friday when I am writing this. I don't know what I am going to do without you this weekend

Oh well, I guess I will have to figure out something. Maybe I will try to catch up on some of my scrapbooking.

Thanks for your concern about the RE cost. I got on there website, and the reason the initial visit is so expensive is because they do an baseline transvaginal ultrasound, what ever that is. The rest is about the same price wise as you had. I have never had an ultrasound done for fertility reasons. SO maybe that is why, hell I have no clue. But if thats what it takes to have a baby then so be it.

Well its girl scout cookie season, and well I have a serious downfall for caramel delights. I love those things. Carley and Denise love the thin mints, their good but the caramel are better i think.

Ashville sounds nice! I wish we had a place like that near here. We have friends with a cabin on the mountain pass, maybe I can convince them to let us borrow it. I love to just go camping. We have a tent trailer we like to take out atleast once a year. Last year we did this really fun trip with 6 kids ( 2 nephews, 3 nieces, and my little sister) to a theme park and camping for 4 days. It was a hoot. This year we are going to tone it down a bit and just go camping with them. Carley is very hesitant about it cause she is not sure how we are going to entertain 6 kids but I think we can figure it out. If we go to Mt. Rainer or Mt. St. Helens then there is plenty of wildlife things to do with them. i think it would be a blast, I just have to convince her of it! In June, we plan to take the trailer on our own vacation though. I am not sure where we will go but it will definately be in the mountains. Do you guys go camping?

My trip today was long and boring. You would think it would be nice just sitting around reading a book in a bus for 8 hrs sounds nice, but after about 2 hrs you get very bored! I was supposed to have a friend (another bus driver) go with me on the trip but her bus got canceled so I went alone. She did come and take me out to breakfast but that only lasted an hour. I guess the 2 hrs of overtime I got today is worth it. It will be nice on my paycheck next month.

Well I hope your weekend with your mom was fun. That pound cake sounds good, I love pound cake! Send me a piece after everyone gets one K? ! Sometimes I just get in moods to bake so I make cookies, breads, fugde brownies, even make fansy dinners, just so I can cook. But then when I feel the mood go away, I have to clean up my mess, That is the part I hate about baking and or cooking.

Maybe I will post some more this weekend just cause. THough its not as fun when I know you won't be reading them and wirting back

Did you notice what pg we are on now...it is amazing how fast we add up these pages.:
TTYS

Hey! We just got back home, boy am I tired! My mom only has a full size bed in the room we stay in and the two of us big girls in that bed is kind of a joke. Neither one of us sleeps well while we are there. But regardless of the lack of sleep we had a great time! I think my mom really enjoyed herself which is what I hoped for. Relle is a huge Florida fan so we are watching the last few minutes of the basketball game and she keeps making me about jump out of my skin because she's screaming at the TV.

Well, I'm glad you got on the website and checked out the fees at the RE. I would just ask them if that U/S is necessary, maybe that is more for women who have been actively TTC and haven't.

This TWW is KILLING me!!! We ate breakfast at my moms this morning and I thought i was going to be sick all over the place afterwards. Again, I'm probably reading into it but I can't help it!!! My mom showed me the things she bought and they were so cute! Little onesies that were just adorable!

I hate that you had such a boring day on Friday! But the extra pay will be nice. I always look forward to the end of the month because I get a bonus for each of the closings we did during that month, I may sneak and buy Relle a new ring.

We love to camp! When we lived in florida there was a gay campground we went to all the time, it was so much fun! Other than that we don't really camp much. I'm not much of a "roughing it" kind of girl. My idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service. But I adapted! When we started tent camping everyone called my tent The Hilton because I had the set up! I'm talking about a double high air mattress, fan, chairs, lamps etc. It really was hysterical!

So how was your weekend, did y'all do anything fun?

Okay, Relle is dragging me outside to unload the car! Hope to talk to you again later.

Oh, I'm gonna try and set up an MSN messenger since all I have is Yahoo and then we can chat! I'm so glad I'm back home and we can talk again, I missed ya over the weekend!!!

justduckie · 03-26-2007, 01:34 PM

I am so glad you are home! It sounds like you had a great time. I'm glad your mom had a good time too. It always nice spending time with your mom!
I know what you mean about the bed. We have a king size bed and sometimes that seems too small for the two of us...well actually there is 4 of us, with our two dogs! But, we have gone to families houses and spent the night in a queen and its miserable. And plus, its just not your bed. I have never found a bed that is more comfortable than my own. I always have to takemy own pillow though. I hate feather or down pillows. All those feathers always poke me in the face. I have a memory foam pillow and I love it. We actually got it for my mil for her birhtday last year and she said it hurt her neck so I took it and I love it. I can't sleep on any other pillow now. I need the neck support.

My weekend was fine. I cleaned house and got some things done around the house that needed to be done. I have a stack of things that I have to get done today too cause some places are closed ove rthe weekend and I couldn't get those done.

I can only imagine trying to wait two weeks. I mean, this 3 months has killed me I bet the two weeks is worse! How many more days left...not many right? I can hardly wait to find out....Eeek! I almost pee my pants with excitement!

THat would be fun if you got msn! ITs free! I'll send you an invite with the link to get it.

Well, I have to go pick up one kid, all the kids on this route are going back to school at regular time so today all I have is one kid, out of 6!

TTYL!

Sarelle · 03-26-2007, 10:27 PM

Hey! How was your day? I was really busy at work today, didn't even get a chance to get on and send you a reply. I've got my messenger all set up now, I didn't do MSN because I could access it through my yahoo. The next time you are on, see if you can get me from your MSN messenger.

I saw everyone's response to your question about the u/s, I would guess that is the same type of u/s they did for my day 12 to check follicle size and it was nothing. It was very similar to having a pap done, it wasn't anything to worry about really. It was funny though because on the table beside the u/s machine they had this bucket of what looked like condoms sitting there and I was cracking up. Evidently they were to cover the u/s wand but it was pretty funny regardless.

I've decided since AF is supposed to come this weekend I'm going to wait until Monday and if she isn't here then I am going to test. I think we are babysitting our niece and nephew this weekend so that should make the time go by quickly anyway. I tell myself that anyway!

I think I've asked you this before but I don't remember if you told me, have you guys picked a donor yet?

Well, I've got to go clean up the kitchen for dinner. Relle's sister and the kids are coming tomorrow for dinner and she is a neat freak so it always makes me stress about the condition of the house. So now I've got to mop and vacuum floors. Hope to chat with you tonight!

TTYS!!!

Sarelle · 03-30-2007, 02:07 PM

Hey! Happy Vacation! I am so jealous!

Just thought I would send you a quick message since I didn't know if I would be able to chat today. I must have forgotten my crystal ball at home this morning because everyone at work assumes I just know what they are talking about today. This place is going to drive me to drink!

Today is my BIL's birthday so we are going out tonight, so yet again I get the pleasure of carting around all the drunk people. But it should be fun anyway. We are going out to the beach and having dinner and then they want to go to some of the bars there. Luckily for me they don't want to stay out too late.

So I think I'm going to buy a PG test at lunch and take it in the morning. I can't stand it anymore. And the weird thing is I still have those cramps I've been telling you about. Today makes 3 days in a row and they even kept me awake all night last night. So of course, you know me, I have to research everything I can find about it on the internet. I found things that said it could be pregnancy, signs of AF or something called OHSS. So I don't know what the heck to think. I guess I will just have to wait out the weekend and see!

Did you decide if you were painting this weekend? I don't think we are going to. Relle wants to do some yardwork tomorrow and then she is planting herself in front of the TV for the final 4 games tomorrow night. Then we are going to my SIL's house for dinner on Sunday. So another busy weekend! But maybe it will help keep my mind off things.

Alright, I guess I better get back to work. I hope to chat with you over the weekend but if not, enjoy your first Saturday off with Carley, y'all do something fun. If I happen to get a good result from the test I will certainly call you. I'll try to remember that you are 3 hours behind me so I don't call you at like 6 in the morning or something!

TTYS!!!

justduckie · 04-03-2007, 10:30 AM

It was so great to finally talk to you yesterday! I am so excited and happy for you. I know you probably looked at the time I am posting this, its 5am!! I have been up already for an hour. I couldn't sleep. I think I had way to much caffine before bed time...oops! ThatI know better but I thought what the heck! Alls I could think about is what I have to get done today. THis totally sucks. I am supposed to sleep in on my days off! Oh well, what is a girl to do!

So after we talked yesterday, Carley and I went out to lunch and we both just kept saying how amazing it is that you got a BFP!!!! We are both so freaking excited for you!

So I have to tell you. Sunday I took all my met in the am, I mean all 1500mgs, with choco milk of course!!!! But then about an hour or so later, i started to feel sick and tired and it really sucked. I spent most of the morning that way till carley got up then we painted some and then she wanted to go get lunch and take the dogs for a walk . I agreed cuz I knew that is what she wanted to do, so we did that, and then we came home and I told her I just wanted to lay down for a few minutes. So I went to bed and slept for 12 hours!!! Ya, isn't that crazy! She said she came in and checked on me twice just to make sure I was still breathing cuz I never sleep that much. I think it kinda freaked her out a little bit. But I felt like a million dollars yesterday. Today, just tired. I think I may take a day off from my honey do list today. I mean I have only been painting for like 2 days now. I painted like for 12 hours, not straight, a few brakes, but ya, thats a lot of painting, but its all done now. I just have to touch up a few spots were the tape tore off the paint.

Oh speaking of painting, I have to wait until 11am to send you those pics cuz the cable to download the pics is in our room and carley doesn't get up till 11!! So I will send them asap! And our outfis aren't as funny this time. I think I am getting better at painting cuz more paint got on the walls this time instead of me!! I am just in my pj's!

Okay, now that I have blabbed on and on....
Did I mention how freaking excited we are for you?????!!!!!

justduckie · 04-03-2007, 10:32 AM

tell relle I hope she is feeling better!
