Happy October!

I can't believe its been almost a year since we started this blog and the ride on the TTC train. We had actually started before October 2007 with research and charting, but we got our donor on board in October and did our first insem in November 2007. Wow. A year. I know that many of you have done way more than that, but still, a year. Hmm.
Somehow, with the grace of God, we were able to pay the $501 to have B's car fixed. I had been tucking some money away in the credit union and I guess it adds up quicker than I thought. Plus we both had uncashed checks in our respective purses, so it worked out. Thank God.
Another positive note is we have been talking to a possible new known donor. (PNKD?) We have been emailing back and forth and he seems great, so now we wait for references. He's pretty local and already has 3 kids from his marriage and 3 pregnancies on the way. Sounds good to me. =)
B was off today and put up all of our fall decorations. I. Love. It. Fall is my favorite season and to come home to the house smelling like autumn was fantabulous. What a great start to the weekend!
I'm also kind of itching to get back to temping...crazy, I tell ya!

So glad you found the money to get the car fixed! What a relief. I wish money weren't so tight, and so wrapped up with TTC. Thinking of you. And, can I ask, how did you identify your potential new known donor? Sounds like he isn't already a friend, or am I wrong? How did you find him?

Glad things are working out. Sometimes I have to remind myself that things "always work out" on those days when I am so anxious or stressed.
Can't wait for you to get back on the train.

We're not quite there yet, but the year anniversary of starting is looming - it's so hard to be here. That's exciting about your PNKD! I hope that works out for you!

And yay for fall!

You sound so *well*. I'm glad to hear it. I hope everything works out with the pnkd. This month marks my one year baby blogging and I'm with you that it is kind of mind blowing.

Glad you got the car fixed! Much love to you both. xo
