October 23, 2000

The house is finally starting to look organized – I can see the floor! I am also happy to report that the smell and allergies have started to dissipate. It is fun when things start to come together. Now if I could only make baby room plans for the nice spare room upstairs with the bay window – aahhh.

On Saturday we had lunch with my grandmother’s sister and her daughter. The daughter was in town for a buyers convention. We went to the Galleria – ooohhhh. I enjoyed it very much but I would have enjoyed it much better if Michel hadn’t have been with me, LOL! I think the place made him nervous – Tiffany's, Gucci, Versace!

We are in the waiting period again. I O’d a day or two later than normal, maybe due to the move. Thank goodness for my fertility monitor. I don’t really believe that I will be pregnant, but I just can’t seem to give up all hope. I have a really stupid question, please forgive me. My excuse is that I am from Canada and our medical system doesn’t work the same way. Since my new insurance doesn’t cover for fertility costs, if I make an appointment with an RE will I have to pay for all my office visits or just for procedures or tests? I think the latter is probably the case but I want to be sure and not be surprised when at the end of the visit I get a bill! If someone could please confirm this with me it would put my mind at ease and then I will go ahead and make an appointment. At least I can hear what he says and then start figuring if we can afford anything. Unfortunately, moving always has plenty of associated costs. Even though our move was paid for, it still ended up costing us a small fortune. Sadly, that means that progress in our fertility quest is going to have a setback.

I have met so many ladies TTC around the area through my TTM board that I would like to suggest a meeting. I have discussed it with a few ladies and we thought it might be fun to have a get together to discuss and support our TTC efforts. Please send me a message on my TTM board if you are interested and I will do my best to coordinate some kind of meeting -- maybe a lunch or something? I am in Flower Mound, let me know where you are, what days you are available and a possible meeting location and I will see if we can get some kind arrangements made. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we will be able to get something worked out – it would be a lot of fun!

That’s all for now!
