Well as you can see by the pics below, we had a nice time on vacation. Unfortunately, it was the coldest March that LA has seen since 1921 (just our luck). We really enjoyed spending time together as a family and especially seeing all of my family who live in California! Hubby and I did go see Dr. Phil.....that was an interesting experience, too bad the topic wasnt great (700lb woman and a 400lb teenager)....we still had fun. They didnt tell us when the show will air, so I guess I will have to keep my eye out on the previews.
TTC update: We had our consult yesterday and it went extremely well!! I was a bit nervous because Jeff has been a real downer lately about proceeding (All financially motivated)....he was very negative all the way up to the appt. The nurse practitioner is extremely knowledgeable and outgoing and put us right at ease. She gave us her "presentation" and then let us ask a million questions. It seems that it will take about 4-6 mos to get matched with a donor, so we dont have to worry about all the financial stuff for awhile. We also spoke with the doctor briefly, she stated that we could still do a fresh cycle if we wanted but our chances of having a better outcome than last time are not very good. We really appreciate her openness and how honest she is. We also decided to have Jeff's dna tested....he had blood drawn and we will have results in about a month. The doc told us that since they cannot really determine if it is just an "egg" problem, that we should have that test done before we have any other procedures done.....looking forward to getting those results.
We had a major family emergency over the weekend.....my mom's apartment caught fire and everything of hers is destroyed. Luckily (by the Grace of God) she was able to get out safely. Her heating pad caught fire about 1:45am, flames were shooting up right next to her bed...she woke up and got out of there. We have been trying to help her deal with the loss but it seems it will be a slow process. She did have renters insurance but they are S-L-O-W!! She has been homeless for 3 days, nothing but the pajamas she had on left and they havent given her any emergency relief. We have bought her a few things to get her by (underwear, bra, jeans, shirts,etc) but still.....we started the paper chase today and hopefully they will be able to help her soon.
