Pre-In Vitro

Leandra and I had our first meeting regarding the IVF process. Wow! This is definitely a process. There will be a good number of drugs that Leandra will be on for the next month or two. I have to take an antibiotic to make sure my "stuff" is healthy.

The good news is that our planned vacation will not be affected. Because we had very little information when we decided to go this option, we were worried that the schedule of events would interfere with our trip. This process begins with self-administered shots for the first couple of weeks. For us, we will be in Minnesota for her first injection.

Of course, the bad news is the cost. I figured for this to be an expensive venture and I was NOT disappointed. We were shown the amount that needs to be paid and did my best to keep a cool face. Unfortunately, there is no paymet plan and everything needs to be paid upfront. So much for paying off our credit cards.

The nurse asked if we had any questions and I thought it would be funny to inquiry about possible fundraising opportunities. I also asked if we could genetically manufacture our child to meet specifications that would make money for us later in life (baseball player, rock star, genius, etc) and I was given a very jovial "No."

To wrap this up, if you need an instrument, buy it from my wife at Opus 1 Music (she gets commission). Or if you see us hosting a car wash, please stop by to support the cause. I look smokin' hot in a swimsuit.
