Like Writing a Note on the Jumbotron

Whenever I needed to make a call at work that I didn't want anyone to hear - I would go out on the patio.

Thanks to an obnoxious security break - the patio is "exit only."

This means I have to get VERY creative with conversations.

Low tones only work so well.
Our office has NO insulation - so everything bounces around.
The hallway is a great option - when no one else is in it.
I can use someone's office - if they aren't there.

So I am stuck either making calls from my car - or hoping there is enough activity going on in the office that no one can hear me.

This will be so much easier in September.....

God Bless the Co-Pay

The fertility clinic we were sent to works with Kaiser -- and works with kaiser coverage.

So adding up all the times I went their - and the different check ups - would have cost more than $3,000.

It cost about $200!

The medication and injections cost more (of course).

There's nothing like receiving a bill that says "paid" on it.

Thank You Starbucks

I learned that 200 mg is the max caffeine you should have...
The Fraps I love have 80.

WOOT!

Buble Says It Best....

I might have to wait, I'll never give up 
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck  
Wherever you are, whenever it's right You'll come out of nowhere and into my life.
And I know that we can be so amazing 
And, baby, your love is gonna change me  
And now I can see every possibility.
And somehow I know that it'll all turn out.  
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out.  
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get 
I just haven't met you yet....

...And Sara Laughed

Last night I got an email from my mother that if we had a boy, we would need to have an Orthodox mohel perform the ceremony. And if the bris had to be on Shabbat, he would need to stay at the house.

I told her that there is a Chabad and that I could arrange to have the mohel stay there (again pretty early for this discussion).

I told Adam about the email and his response was - "why should we have a butcher stay here?!?"

I thought it was calling the mohel a butcher, because of what he does.

I then realized he confused the term mohel with schocet (a butcher).

And we got a really great laugh out of it - and it felt good.

Stuck in a Moment

I realize I out myself in an interesting conundrum.

If this first cycle doesn't work - I can talk about doing a second cycle.

However, if it does work - Jewish superstition prevents me from talking about it - except for immediate family

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it....

Waiting... and Waiting...

I've been thinking... looking at all the dos and don'ts of what you can and can't do. I'm trying to keep it in mind right now - just in case. No deli meat, limiting the caffeine, no cat litter.

But how much of it is fact vs. fiction?

Really - women for hundreds of years have been having kids -- but, apparently, they were all wrong about everything.

I found an article on 50 dos and don'ts.

This one is my favorite:

Can I ride a bike during pregnancy?

because I couldn't before.... :)
