Goin' In Vitro

Yeah...so after eight years of my parents wondering where the grandkids are, we've decided that nature is no longer a viable option. Science is going to take over (and we are going to pay dearly for it). That's right peeps, we are prepping for the in vitro fertlization option.

I was having a discussion with some co-workers about kids and the cost to actually have one. They all agreed that having a baby is not cheap. I "kindly" reminded them that what they paid will probably look like a Wal-Mart discount because not only will I be paying to have a baby, but I'll also be paying to make one. I don't know how much that costs (considering insurance doesn't cover it), but I know it won't be cheap.

This means a couple of things:
1.) There is a good chance of twins, which is good because I don't think I will want to pay to do this again.
2.) Our child better be perfect.
3.) This better work the first time. I don't want to pay for something that doesn't work.

There is a whole bunch of things that are up in the air right now. We'll know more by the end of the month. Hopefully this won't mess up our plans for a vacation in August. I'd like to be a little optimistic, but the realistic side is casting doubts.

So if you are looking for good birthday gifts for us, please go to one of those gift card stations that are in many retail stores. Last year, it was all about Menards gift cards. This year, you can get us an "In Vitro" gift card...if they have them.
