anniversary present

It was Mr. P and my anniversary last week. 6 years married, and about 6 more together before we got married, but hey, who's counting at this point?? We celebrated on Saturday by going out to dinner at a place we had both wanted to try for a while. We got reservations several weeks ago, and I was really been looking forward to a date night out.

So we are having a nice dinner, we ate some really yummy stuff, had some nice cocktails and wine (ahhh, booze, so nice to have you in my life again!) and nice conversation. Then there is a natural lull in the conversation, I think I had my mouth full of some delicious octopus, and out blurts Mr. P, "Let's do it!"

I look up at him and say, "What?" with my full mouth. Swallow and smile a bit. He says, "You know what." And I smile more.

I ask him if he is sure, and what made him change his mind. He said it wasn't really a change of mind, but more of a chance to think about it more (he is totally the one in our relationship that thinks things through over time, unlike me who just jumps right in). He said that while work is total crap right now, he doesn't want his work to determine if we should try to grow our family. We will make it work, regardless of his work situation. Then he just said, "And the Critter is just so awesome, how could we not?"

That's exactly my point. How could we not try?

So we are back in the game, people. I have an email in to my nurse at the far away clinic to discuss logistics of a final cycle in Feb/March. I think we will skip the genetic testing this time around - it is so expensive, and honestly didn't give me too much great info last time - so maybe a fresh transfer too? I'm not sure with the depot loopyron if that is an option.

I'm excited. Trying not to be too hopeful. But definitely excited.
