I realize I'm posting less often than usual and I only slightly feel bad about that. In the past couple of weeks we've had some busy times. First off, we finally changed over to our new insurance and are working with my PCP to get an official referral for the RE. We decided recently against Babe going through insurance for a repeat SA. Because of this, we can essentially schedule it at any time. Unfortunately my husband has decided that he would like to wait until he starts a new job at the beginning of February. He believes that this will leave him less stressed than before and able to give a better sample. Personally I think he'll find less time to do it in and be more stressed in the new job. It's not worth the argument though. He's already made so many changes to help with our success that I'm very grateful for.
Speaking of changes, we both decided to eliminate something from our diets. Since I always have a difficult time remembering not to drink soda, I've asked him to keep me accountable. In return, he is no longer drinking beer and will drastically cut back on alcohol altogether. I'm pretty excited about the change because I know it's not even that big of a deal for either of us. I drink soda out of habit and I can definitely use less sugar and caffeine. I've cut it from my diet before with no significant results so I'm not expecting too much. It's just nice to know I'll be doing something healthy for myself.
Recently I mentioned that we were looking at puppies. After a really emotional trip to a PetSmart adoption fair we've decided to wait just a couple of weeks. We have a busy weekend coming up and to leave a puppy home alone 5 days a week then again on a weekend is just too cruel. In the meantime, Babe and I have been mulling over pug and dachshund litters to adopt. I'm looking forward to the addition it will be for our family. Since I've never owned a dog let alone any pet we're both pretty nervous about it. Thankfully I'm married to beast master Jr.
With all of these little things happening in our life we've also decided to take on one more hurdle. We're going to refinance our house! Over the weekend we settled on a lender and are in the process of negotiating the interest rate. If it works out as planned, we'll be saving almost 2% in interest PLUS be able to take out some cash for some much needed updates on our little home.
So far it's a great start to a new year.
