Graem woke up this morning and off we went to the doctor’s office. She did a great job in the office and afterwards on our way home she started dozing off in the car.
We went to the postoffice and then came home. I battled on the phone with the insurance company and got absolutely nowhere.
We also got Grammy’s new “No, David” books in the mail! We plan on reading those later tonight! She also got a free back pack with the order…however, she’s horrified of it and won’t even put it on. Kinda like the lion suit.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to work on the lion suit tomorrow before we go out trick or treating!

So if anyone knows me….you know I love my free/cheap stuff!!
If you’re interested in receiving free product samples and coupons for health products then http://www.healthyfreestuff.com/ is a great site for you.
One thing you might want to do is sign up an account that you might not mind extra emails etc going to. For example, I signed up my yahoo account so that my regular email isn’t bogged down with junk email.
Imagine receiving samples of big brand names like Welch’s Fruit Snacks, Kleenex, NeoSporin, Bounce Fabric Softener, Tylenol, Centrum, Acuvue, Nature Made, Planters Peanuts, Banana Boat Sun Screen, Kraft Dressing, Purell, and more….all at your doorstep, COMPLETELY FREE!
I’ve actually gone to each individual page in the past to find free stuff! Let me tell you there are tons of companies out there and for each company you have to fill out their specific form and you only get one precious ounce of their item in a very well packaged mailed item!
In fact, I remember when we were kids we used to call up 1-800-tam-pons and get free tampons sent to boys. Boy, the jokes on me… Had I known as an adult how expensive those things were…I would have started stocking up then!!

Today I went to my doctor’s appointment in Syracuse. Graem was on her best behavior during the appointment and thank God for the markers that Crayola makes that don’t mark on furniture or clothing — only the special coloring book.
It looks like I still have 10-12 follicles and they are all sizes at this point ranging from 11mms - 19mms. I got my estradiol bloodwork back and it came in at nearly 1800! So, the doctor’s office said “No meds tonight” and I’m just going to coast until my estrogen levels go down.
The doctor’s office is also trying to get my insurance to approve converting this cycle to an IVF cycle. Makes sense really…
If the insurance denies the IVF request then we’ll go forward with the IUI and just inject 20 million sperm to have their way with me 10 or so eggs! Quite scary I must say.
Here’s hoping just one or maybe two stick!

Boy, Margot might kill me for writing this review but it was just calling my name!
VegasPokerPro.com is a great sight that offers: Party Poker, Poker Strategy, Free Poker, Full Tilt Poker, and a Poker Forum.
Initially, when you enter the website you have a selection of gifts to choose from ranging from: Ebay, Amazon, and Best Buy Gift Cards to a Free Poker table!
Whether you are looking to actually gamble online using your mastercard/visa or just want to play for fun with other people - this is good site for you.
One thing that I really liked about this website is that there are poker blogs so you can read different strategies from pros that really know how to play poker!
There is also a strategies section of the website that has instruction from different players and seems a bit more technical. This might be the perfect play for a newbie to start learning how to play poker and learn the game.
At the bottom of the site there are 16 different rooms to choose from. You can visit each one and get a feel for the atmosphere and competetiveness of the other poker players online.
Speaking from self experience and quite the gambler in my day — if I were to use an online sight I’d probably play/learn using the free tables and then as I got better might work my way into the high rollers room! Whatever, you do… don’t spend the milk and diaper money!

Today we went to St. Pauls Methodist Church. Our friend Lydia’s mother is the pastor there. It had been quite a while since we had been to church. We really had a nice time. The sermon was really touching and the pastor had a great message that really made us aware and think.
It was also nice to meet up with some old friends and Margot even saw some of the people that she works with from different firms.
Graem was a bit hesitant at first about going into the nursery and so we left her while she was crying. Which of course made us feel like bad parents. After 10 minutes I went back to check in on her and she was hanging out one on one with one of the girls from the nursery learning about the many different sounds of a cell phone.
When we came back to pick Graem up she was very happy to see us.
Who knows…we might just become the church type!
