We closed on our new house this weekend. It's a cute little ranch just 1 street over from where we've been renting for the past 3 years. For only about $100 more than our rent, we now own, with some nice bonuses: The new place has a good size wooden deck off the back door. We have central air which was THE selling point for my husband, who is from one of the hottest places on earth yet still complains about the heat in New England for the 2 months it gets above 80 here. There's a working fireplace. There's a dishwasher & gas stove, as well as gas heat. There's a 2nd bathroom (my dream come true!). We still only have 2 bedrooms but since we're infertile & realists, do we really need more room? Because outside of a miracle we're 99% "one & done", unless we end up with twins or a ton of frosties, neither of which I'm banking on. And if we do, the basement is unfinished & we could easily put another bed & bath down there.
Also, I woke up to Aunt Flo on Saturday. Thus, I start BCPs tonight to prep for IVF #3. I'll be on them for 3 weeks for timing purposes (trying to avoid ER & ET the week of finals) & go in for my baseline on CD3 after The Red Dragon shows again. This means I may be ringing in the new year with an egg retrieval or embryo transfer, which in turn means beta will be around the hubby's birthday. I really, really hope his birthday doesn't suck.
Finally, I am on vacation this week from work & Vid is also off since the university where he teaches follows a trimester schedule. We're bunking our classes this week & really don't care; our profs understand anyways since we're old, married, working full time grad students. We're driving up to the Montreal area tomorrow & are spending 5 days @ 2 different places thanks to Living Social deals I found. I haven't been to Montreal since high school (almost 20 years ago) & Vid has never been. The weather's supposed to be nice; cool but not freezing. We're just going to take it easy & have a little "us time" before the insanity of cycling begins again.

Montreal is always nice this time of year. Living so close to the border I would go there whenever ever I got the chance to get away.
