new advice, and potentially another doctor

One of the things I do to add to my income is tutor. I can make quite a bit of money in a fairly short amount of time tutoring. One of the moms is an ob/gyn. She had asked me questions in the past about my plans for kids, etc. and I gave her the standard brush off, we'll see type answer. She told me to let her know if I ever needed anything in that area, as I was helping her son, and she wants to help me.

The other day, I gave her a short run down of our situation. She is going to talk to the RE she recommends patients to and see what he thinks about our situation. She said she will also try to get me a discount if I go there. I can't find the doctor online, but don't really have his name. She also had some good ideas about how to help B deal with donor spe.rm. Or, at least some other thoughts. It will be nice to get another opinion for free.

I kinda wanted to see another doctor, since the two that I did see had such different plans. I'm hoping for a more balanced approach! Unfortunately, this one is a little farther than I wanted to drive. Oh well. I am just glad I have so many choices.

    That sounds awesome!! Sometimes it is good to 'know' people, and have connections. People are put into our lives for different reasons.

    As far as driving- don't let that be a total limiting factor. The RE we are going with is 4 hours from us...when there is one 5 miles away. It is who works best for you (money, comfort, etc.) We will be able to get labs, etc. down here- which will help.

    Of course that is if we ever do anything....if you have read my blog lately, you know we are stagnant.

    That sounds wonderful, and you are so lucky to have someone with such knowledge that wants to help you! I am looking forward to seeing how she helps you and what her RE says.

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
