Is this Thing On?

Testing, testing, 1-2-3. Why, hello there. I realize that I will be writing into the ether here, but here goes anyway. I have a son, a beautiful, funny, smart, charming redheaded (yes, redheaded!) two year old son. Neither The Husband, nor I, have red hair, by the way.

The Husband and I have been discussing whether or not to have a second child (easier said than done, of course). And so, long story short, we made an appointment with Dr. Superman, he did the old HSG and whamo! I have blocked tubes. I go in for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on Monday, almost exactly three years from when I had it done before. I'm taking three days off - and having just re-read my post about it from before I am realizing that three days may be incredibly insufficient. ALSO, my mother was going to come into town for the procedure but she fell in the driveway, on the ice, on Thanksgiving and wound up in the ER. She's currently resting and on a lot of pain medications. No broken bones, thankfully, but she's been advised not to fly (she has a very large hematoma and the risk from blood clots is high) and wouldn't be able to help this invalid as she's pretty much an invalid right now as well. I'm sure she's pretty miserable.

So, anyway, I go in on Monday. And then I get to try to take care of the Kid or take him to daycare or I don't know what. We'll figure it out, I keep telling myself. Also, as an aside, we've decided to change daycare - which has been traumatic for me, to put it mildly. I like where he is (mostly), he loves it, but it's outrageously expensive and we are forced to pay for the summer, when we don't actually need it. The new place won't charge us for the summer, so we'll be saving about $5,000 (it's also a tad cheaper per month). The thing is, though, we'll have to change him to ANOTHER place this fall because the rates at the new place go way up. Let me just say this, I am grateful to have to worry about this kind of stuff at all.

See you on the flip side.
