We are trying to save every last penny we can for IVF. Adam is working 6 days a week when there is work and some family has offered to pay us for babysitting so it's kind of like taking up a second job. I/we have decided to say goodbye to shopping, getting my nails done, eating out, going to movies, etc. Basically if it's not a necessity, it's gone. Our dinners will be consisting of sandwiches, grilled cheese, soup, and hot dogs for the next couple of months. It honestly does not bother us because of the purpose behind it. We even contemplated selling our house and car but with today's economy, we would be losing money, not gaining.
My mom is wonderful and for an early birthday present for me, she paid for my airline ticket to enjoy a long weekend in Florida in April with her and my 2 awesome sister-in-laws. A girls weekend. I have to admit I am already freaking out because it will be the first time Adam and I have been apart since the summer (2008)before we were married. My hope is that this will be our weekend before starting IVF and the relaxation will be beneficial.
On a side note, we just wanted to say thank you for all of the wonderful and supportive responses. It has truly been overwhelming. Please feel free to share our blog with anyone you know that might be going through something similar.
