Hi all.....Another Day to Plan and Wait......(sounds like it could be a movie title) LOL
If anyone chooses to vote...please let us know why you don't think IVF would work in another country. I really appreciate ALL the feedback, negative or positive!! I know there alot of naysayers out there, as at least give me your reason.....
Just got in from L.A. Cold and rainy, but I still love it out there. Oscars on Sunday...I wish I was going!
I did some homework on Czech yesterday. Turns out Zlin is a factory town. It also happens to have the best SHOE factory around...LOL That is funny to me. They actually have a museam there bragging & displaying of all their shoes. (Sounds tempting) I've also learned that Czech people love to stare.....That would annoy me.... Also smiles are out of the question! They think it's an annoyance. They only cash a smile in when it's called for. So basically if I'm walking down the street..DON'T SMILE...what ever will I do???? LOL sounds a bit like New York to me....Whatever......Doesn't bother me...The language however is a bit difficult......I went to the library to get the Rosetta Stone version......O guess what????? State of Florida did a budget cut on all the libraries...NO MORE Rosetta Stone!! That sucks as it was FREE.....Ugggg...I guess I learned enough Portuguese to hold me over....
On food...well it's all pork and saurkraut....O yeah!! I'll feel like I'm right at home in Ohio. LOL Not a bad thing...But this is the REAL thing..They haven't changed it in eons. They do have dumplings YUMMY!!! They also have the best beer EVER. Consumed by more people per capita in the WORLD.... (Go ahead quote me) They don't export it either, because they don't like to share??? Who knows........Good thing I don't drink beer...The wine list sucks, I checked that out too. They don't recommend it.....I won't be drinking anyway... I'm keeping my eye on the prize.
Today was a good day...
Still dreaming of a baby and a white Christmas.... Maybe I ask for too much sometimes??
Love to all....signing off from the road less traveled!

One Day at a Time
I'm starting to get very excited of the possibilites of this journey. I've read all the testamonials from the couples who have already gone over to Zlin and were successful. I mean this could really happen for us. REALLY!!! REALLY & TRUELY!! O, what a miracle it would be. Why not us? I mean we've been through so much SH*#T that I think it's about time for us to have our time in the spotlight. Being a mother would mean EVERYTHING to me at this time in my life. I never wanted it so bad. I could taste it. Especially knowing that I have a husband who would be a terriffic father, so loving and kind. A teady bear daddy, that's what he would be. I can see our children in his eyes when I look at him.
Now it's just a waiting game for the $$$$. In the meantime I am planning. It's right around the corner.
I went and got myself another part time restaurant job today. With the closing of Bimini I'll need something else in addition to flying to keep me busy. I happen to know the GM who hired me and he's happy to have me. I don't know of anyone else that could work around my flight schedule. Lucky me, another job. Much needed and appreciated. I didn't mention the IVF trip. I'll wait till I get my foot in the door.
It's funny when I think about it. I'm sure most of my friends think I'm crazy to go to this length. Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. I really want this to work. It's going to work.

Working on it!
Hello everyone!
Today I'm having a good day and feel very positive!!! I think I found a way for financing which I'll keep to myself at this time until a later date. I should know in 15 Business days if it worked. I think it's going to work....yea!!!
At this time I am busy checking out Zlin, Czech Republic, (Zlin is the town where the procedure will be done) Also checking on the hotel situation, the weather in May etc. I am currently in touch with a few other couples that actually went to Prauge and had the procedure done and were successful. I just want to inquire with them and let them tell me their experience, fears, joys and lows. Keeping informed is one of my main missions as well. I don't want to leave one stone unturned. In another words, no suprises, no uppercuts, no bitch slapping. One can only hope.
Trish and Giu met me at Cheesecake where we had lunch. Very nice. We ran into Angie, her mom and the girls, funny! Those are almost all the people that were at my wedding, some reunion!! Today happens to be our 2nd wedding anniversary. ..Boy did that go fast!! Mom sent a beautiful card.....
Well, I really g2g. I have a thousand things to do today!
xoxo

DENIED By Capital One Financing for Fertility Treatment
Well after getting no sleep last night, I called Capital One to see if I could borrow more money to finance the treatment in Czech. After they got all of my information and tried to talk me into refinancing my original loan (from the treatment 3 years ago) into one big payment at a higher interest rate, I informed them we would be going out of the country and I would get them the information to send the payment to the doctor. "Ohhhhhh, unfortunately we don't loan out when you need the treatment in another country" So that is a BIG FAT NO!!! Somehow in the back of my head I knew that, but I wanted to try anyway!
I have no other choice.....I won't be able to go in May.........I have to talk to LNKS right away!

OMG
Hi anyone who could at least be sort of interested! Thanks for tuning in!
I just got back from my Anniversary/Valentines Day getaway! Islamorada at it's best! Ha-Ha..I won't spoil all the FABULOUS details, I'll keep that between Josh and I.......O, he loves me so! Thank You Josh, My husband and Best Friend!!!! Thank you for thinking so highly of me!@!
Pierres...MY All-Time FAV...It is truely all that and a bag of sand. I hope to take my mother there in March. To Pierres that is!!!!! Thank you Josh for the Budget!!!
On to bigger and better......Josh and I, well we still try to have a BABY.......(Has anyone seen Juno??) Talk about crying in your lap......
The pressure is on....It is true..we don't have the money to go to the Czech Republic! NO...NO...NO Money........Not Josh, Not I...what to do!!!! WHAT DO WE DO?? Give up?? Should I just give up????? I don't want to give up....I want to go to another country and have IVF performed only because The Great USA does not allow my treatment to be covered my insurance. YES, I am pissed off about that...........REALLY Mad......We work, we work alot and are dedicated!! Why can't they see how desperate we are. Maybe it's just me, desperate........I'm sure it's just me.
The pressure I feel could blow my heart and my brain right out of my chest. It's that same brick wall, I cannot penetrate it, someone please help.
The money has to be sent in. $375.00 the deposit.............. Our new found friends in our situation that we want to go with already sent their money in. PRESSURE! What about the other 10 g's??????
Josh sits on the fence again.....he says we are too strapped.....well I think we will always be too strapped...........Now is the time...........No time but now....as they say..................
On a lighter note. Guillia and Trish came over today...Pool Party at JJs....Trish my BFF...I love her...She always shares Guillia with me... She's 5..Also the smartest, prettiest, funniest little girl I know. I've known her since before she was born......She is my heart. Her mom has done such a such good job with her. She is soooo polite.....the politest little girl I know. O and speaks two languages! Ha-Ha!! She loves Josh too. They look so cute when she goes to give him a hug.....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW......... She wants to come over for movie night. Thank You Trish for sharing!!!! I think I would have lost it by now had I not had something to ease my nurturing with.
I had to have that moment.......
About Czech......well I'll sit Josh down as soon as he is done with the fish tanks.......Then I'll explain to him how we can use more of my credit to make this happen.......Is it always me??
I think that is how it is going to go down............
my situtation.....
Till tomorrow.
