Going on a mini-vacation this weekend, if you can call it that.....Alexis has a volleyball tournament in Topeka, KS.....about 2 hours or more from our home. It is a 2-day tournament so we will have to stay all weekend. Leaving sometime late afternoon or early evening tonight. Although it would save us money, I dont want to be up and driving tomorrow at 4:30am!!! I have no idea how Mason will handle the weekend, we will probably regret not having Mom watch him, she offered. I went and bought a portable DVD player for him today, so he wont go through Blue's Clues withdrawal (LOL)...actually was planning on buying one for our plane ride next month but decided to get it for this trip too. It will occupy some of his time in between games (or during games). Yes, I am a bad parent, my child loves to watch TV. He is absolutely in love with Blues Clues and will sit down for those 20 or so minutes to watch it. He also has a favortie Baby Einstien video that he asks to watch. He is also "ball" obsessed, he loves to throw balls. Footballs, rubber balls, baseballs, any kind of ball he can get his hands on.....but that will not work in the middle of a volleyball tournament...He got a Little Tikes basketball goal for Christmas and he has gotten really good at making baskets...we actually raised the goal this week because he has gotten so good.
On the TTC front~ no news. We havent heard anymore about the lawsuit money yet. A status conference was court ordered for 2/15...but they havent posted an update yet. We have paid down a lot of our debt...we actually have enough credit that we could do another IVF cycle if we wanted but that would shoot our debt right back up and I have been overcome with fear that it wouldnt work again. I guess that Jeff and I really need to talk about what we want to do. I am going baby-crazy again....I dream about them, I watch Discovery health all of the time and I crave holding a little baby in my arms. It started this week. I went to my MOPS meeting this week and there were so many little babies there....I almost started crying right there. I thought I was over that, but I guess not. Although, I might have 3 babies to hold soon, My SIL had her IVF last week and they transferred 3 embies!! If they all take, I will be having triplet nieces/nephews!!! We find out if the IVF worked next week, and then probably 2 wks after that how many are in there!!!
