Oh Kwame

Give it up already. Step down. We knew it was a matter of time before you pulled the race card. I consider that your way of trying to "rally the troops" and make sure black people had your back. It's insulting imo. No one's going to back you because of the color of your skin, especially not when you're dead wrong. My gawd you are a hot one though, aren't ya? DAYUM!

First Infertility Appt

So I have to use a pic with each pic or it just doesn't feel right. Hence the beautiful gal I added from Pinkytoast's etsy page. Cute. I've had so many doctor appt's this week. Monday was the finishing of my root canal. Joy. He needs to do a couple more fillings and wants me to get Invisalign (clear braces that are just a panel that goes around your chompers- no actual brace). This sounds good, but the price does not. $2700 for just the top and my insurance doesn't cover a bit. One cool thing is you don't have them nearly as long. Six months is the maximum. Nice.

Next up- they eye doc. Not too bad, my right eye needs just the tiniest RX and my left eye is bad but not bad enough that I have to wear my glasses 24/7. Yes, I went with glasses. I've never had them so they've taken on this kind of uber cool persona for me. Next year I'll do the contacts. My insurance rocked with this. Covered pretty much every dang thing I could have wanted. Transitions, glare reduction, coatings and whatever other things they like to overcharge for. The glasses are pretty pimp, too, imo. I went for square brown-framed Guess beauties, where the lens stops just shy of the frame (cool effect). Will post pics when I have them :)

Now for today. We met Dr. Maria Hayes for the first time today. If there's someone who can get us pregnant it will be this woman. She's very no-nonsense. She asked why I stopped Prozac and when I told her it was because I worry about getting pregnant and the baby and breastfeeding... She said- don't worry about it until the last month of pregnancy. That I'll do much better through this if I'm back on my Prozac. Can I just say thank GOD! I miss my psycho drugs, for real. Anyway, she has a whole plan. I'll be in her office several times over the next month for more tests and blood work and Dh has to have his own special "bonding time" with the office as well, if you get my drift. Teehee.

One negative about the whole experience- if I want coffee- I get one cup per day and no other soda or any caffeine. If I want a soda- no coffee that day and no other caffeine. Come on, is this even possible? Anyone else been through such torture? Did you survive? I mean, I just can't live in a world without a hot coffee in the morning followed by several (hundred) ounces of soda. ;) Guess the choice isn't really a hard one. Baby? Soda? Yeah, baby. This applies to dh too. Ha- join me in my hell.

But I'm glad we went. It feels like we're doing something. Makes me nervous as hell, but this puts us one step closer.
