December 27, 2006

Hello everybody!

Well... let me tell you a bit about the past few weeks :) 

First off, Eddie's car died.  It was a 96 Cavalier that his parents gave us after I crashed my 99 Stratus eighteen months ago.  It was very wonderful and generous of them to give it to us... and we so much appreciated it, but the rack and pinnion (sp?) went out and it would have been about a thousand dollars to fix, which was more than the car was worth.  Alas, after a week of driving him back and forth to work at the butt-crack of dawn, I decided to buy a new car.  On Friday I bought my first new car, a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer. 

(yay)...

Anyhow, after talking with my mom I realized that whoa--our finances are going to be stretched way bad.  All in all, I don't know whether to say "buyers remorse" or "holy crap" but I'm definately scared of what will be...

Then there was Christmas.  And... it was wonderful.  We went to my dad and step mothers, then to his aunt's on Christmas Eve.  Christmas morning we went to my mom's and then my grandfathers and later to a friend of dh's.  I spent a lot of time with little kiddo's, listening to them cry, scream, etc. 

So... all that leads to my confusion about wanting to have a child right now.  And, low and behold, my desire to have an actual child hasn't changed at all.  Weird? 

Eddie went to do his testing (as I previously wrote on here).  We haven't gotten any results yet though... although he hasn't called about them either, as far as I know.  And, I'm supposed to call my "new" ob/gyn sometime soon to schedule an appointment (which eventually will lead to a referal to an RE, as far as I am concerned).  I'm anticipating pursuing an IUI soon... but who knows, and we'll see.

Anyhow, I'm sorry my mind is in a million places right now... and I don't know what I want to say, but it's not really coming out right.  

Stats are: Cycle day 3 (yup, started on Christmas eve, on it's own).  No temping, no clomid.  We'll deal with that again if and when I see an ob/gyn.  and... take the step of getting on metformin and clomid.

Oh... and.... no chocolate since September 19.  (wahoo!).
