Well, Jaime, my lovely friend at http://babywait.blogspot.com was kind enough to help me format my blog. My hat is off to you, dear! Laziness is starting to get the best of me on my break. I had the WORST case of cabin fever today, so I ended up going to work for about an hour and rearranging my classroom a little. I then went to the gym, you know, that place many of us pay to have a membership to and never go? Yeah, I made an appearance. I have added a little "junk in my trunk" due to the yummy Christmas sweets. Mike and I ran into a teacher I used to work with at the grocery store today. She is a lovely woman who helped me realize that I wanted to teach. I observed her a lot before I actually began teaching, hoping her wonderful techniques would rub off on me. She has been married for about 12 years and her and her husband have been trying to conceive for about 10. We talked briefly about where they are at - all of their tests have come back normal except for slow motility on her husband's swimmers. I guess the doc put him on Clomid (him?! huh?!) and his motility improved, but no baby. So . . . I guess IVF was a little pricey for them, considering they live on teacher wages. (plus the fact that our insurance does not cover much in the fertility department.) So, they are looking into adoption. I am so happy they have begun the process. She will be a wonderful mother.
