Sometimes fate really CAN be kind!

No I'm not pregnant with a super viable fetus. Come on. She's not THAT kind.

However, I have had the best 24 hours I've had in oh, probably years. I'll just put it in bullet form for your enjoyment.
  • I actually did ovulate at some point! Lord knows when because of my crazy sick-time temps, but my temps are consistently up now, and I have all the signs of luteal phase!
  • My sister might get married HERE!
  • HUB GOT HIS RAISE!!!! I can't even TELL you how excited I am to not parse out my granola bars one per day so that I can make them last a whole month.
  • I got a job offer and a possible raise offer!!!

Too bad it's not right around ovulation because we'd be going at it like bunnies. With this luck, how could we go wrong?

Now I know how very lucky we are in this economic climate. I am in no way trying to rub it in. And we certainly aren't out of the woods. My job and Hub's job will most likely start to feel the true effects of this recession following this summer season due to the nature of what we do. And know that the reason I am so very excited is that we have been just eking by for so long now that it's such a relief not to have to literally cinch our belts anymore. Be prepared to hear lots more about us finally finishing the repairs and updates on our house.

Hey! Maybe I can get that new car soon, and it can have LESS than 80,000 miles on it!! WOO HOOO!

Hi Barb, what a day to stumble into your world - congratulations on all the good fortune! Thanks for dropping by my blog. I have a link here to one of the fertility clinics in WA (that's Western Australia, not Washington, sorry folks!) with a spiel about IVM.

Also I offer a UK site which gives an overview.

I haven't done any googling or much else as my next cycle isn't till Jan '10. Good luck on your search!
