Uneventful is good.

Is it really Monday again? Like for real? My eyes are only 1/2 way open, so it must be. I left the house early for Starbucks this morning, because I thought that would help wake me up--but it didn't. Idk why, but I just couldn't sleep last night. It was all stormy and usually that's good sleeping weather for me, but not this time.
My weekend was good--no drama, no stress...uneventful is good. Left work at 11 on Friday and went shopping with my Mammaw. Got some Yellowbox's, a new tie dye purse, 2 watches, and some earrings and ate at the wonderful BlazeNBurrito. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon and a good part of Saturday laying out in Mom's pool. We did some experimenting with my hair, haha--I had planned to dye it black (again) and then put some blue underneath. I know that sounds emo, but I had a picture that I was going by of Korey from Skillet and it would have looked really cool. Anyway, the blue did not show up over the black, and I am NOT bleaching it to put blue on it...so that was that. My husband loves the black hair, so we'll go with this for a while. As long as I have a tan it shouldn't be too bad--but for winter we are going to have to lighten it up a bit or I will look like Night of the Living Dead.
Rented some movies at the Redbox and then forced myself to stay home Sunday and clean and do homework, which I did accomplish. Hallelujah. Anyway, I have been wanting to watch Alice in Wonderland because I am a colossal dork so I rented that and I liked it. :) And hub would NOT watch it with me, haha. We also rented From Paris with Love and Funny People. It was a wide combination of drama, crude comedy and computer animations.
Back to work....not wanting to wish my life away, but hoping it goes by fast because I have a 3 1/2 day weekend up ahead.
Countdown to vacation: 51 days

Jeez.

Once you post something on here, there's no getting rid of it. I did a post earlier where I whined a lot, and then I decided that I was too whiny so I took it off--but it has been brought to my attention that it's still there somewhat. Anyway, this particular post is stupid...but it will replace the old one. :)

Holy Mother of Excitement! (update)

My IRL and Bloggy friend, Jessica is having a baby tomorrow!!!! Welcome to the world Baby Sophia!!! Everyone please pray for a smooth labor and a healthy baby and Momma!!!!


Update:
Sweet little baby that I have not gotten to see in person yet, which is not okay...
Congrats Jess--she is beautiful!!! I won't give all the birth details, you have your own blog for that, but I thought I'd show her off a little. :)

Ch ch changes.

I changed up my blog--this is probably not what I would have picked because I found several others on different sites that were way cute....but something wasn't working right and they were blurry. So green and blue it is. :)

Also--I was editing some of the pictures on here and NONE of them are current, and I am on my work pc so I decided to put this one up because it cracks me up. This was just taken a couple of weeks ago and it's typical us. Me with red eyes and him not looking at the camera.

The one where I complain a lot, Read at your own risk.

My IVF didn't work. That's not news, I told you that last week--but it sucked and it still mildly okay moderately sucks...but to my excitement the suckage just got worse. Let me explain.

I have a lot of insurance. Well I have primary and secondary and they are both through the same carrier its just that one is my company and the other is my husband's company. That sounds like a good thing...just wait for it. We were lucky (or so we thought) that this particular insurance company (not mentioning any names) covered MOST of our IVF. We were out 10% of the treatment and all of the medicine...which is still a lot of money in our eyes, but could have been so much worse. So--IVF doesn't work, I'm all "woe is me" and then BAM, we get a bill for a big chunk of money that we weren't supposed to have to pay. Now, that would be bad news on any day...but now that I have already paid SO much money and it didn't work...I really don't want to give anyone any MORE money for something that was a colossal waste of time. Long story short....they are filing stuff on secondary and then rejecting it because they can tell that I have primary insurance somewhere....yes...that somewhere is with them, but it's whatev. So..I have been on the phone all bloody morning dealing with that nonsense. Fun fun.

Insurance companies are STOOOOPID. Sorry if you work for one, but only just a little bit sorry.

Starting Over

Yay a new week! Time to put that horrible one (last week) behind me. I had a really great weekend although I absolutely fried myself in Mom's swimming pool. So, although it hurts to wear clothing, I chose to do it anyway...haha and here I am back at work and making a list of stuff that I WILL GET CAUGHT UP ON before noon on Friday.

I don't know if this is normal or not, but since I stopped taking PIO shots, my stomach has been sort of upset and I haven't had much of an appetite. I could do without the stomach thing but the appetite can STAY AWAY. I've got about 10 IVF pounds to drop and another 10-15 that I wanted to drop before IVF came about. I'm off to a good start so far. :)

I may be a little absent from the blog world with posts and comments. I will be reading though and I am still SO excited for everyone who is pregnant right now and for my bloggy friend who found out the sex of her baby last week (you know who you are) and for my very good IRL friend J who will most likely be having a baby girl either this week or next week--and I can't wait to see good news from those of you who are still in my situation!!!!

Have a great week!
~Ash

Thank you.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I had a pretty good meltdown the day we got the call and I am just ready to move on to Plan B, whatever that is. We have 5 frozen embryos so all hope is not lost. We'll probably wait until later on in the year to do the FET. We need a break, and we have a vacation coming up in August that I do NOT want to ruin with stressing over baby making. Now we get to fight with insurance--I don't think they know who they are messing with right now. ;-)

List of things that have happened since Beta:
1-amazing frozen margarita at my fave Mexican restaurant
1-super long 4-wheeler ride involving a creek
1-2 hour session of laying out on my back deck
1-sunburn
3-super hot, super long baths
1-box of black hair dye :)

I'm going to survive I think.
