He arrived!

Well, flat Spencer arrived yesterday! He's rather cute for a blue faced little boy. We have taken a few photos of him with the local attractions while we've been out and about.

He arrived after I had my first acupuncture session, so he didn't get to go along for that. My new Dr isn't as nice as the one I used to go to, but she's on the list of approved IVF doctors. This one used a Moxa stick to warm up my stagnant qi. It looked like a hand wrapped cigar. She lit it and hovered the burning "cigar" about 1/2" over my body. It smelled good while burning, but afterwords I reeked of moxa--Chinese Mugwort or wormwood--which smelled a lot like weed to me. Tim said I smelled like a stoner--at least I didn't get the munchies!

Since it was sunny and nice this weekend we decided to look at houses to see what's out there. (we also took down the exterior Christmas decorations) I met with a Realtor that works with our company last week, which was interesting. When I told her what we were willing to spend, she asked "So is that to be the deposit?" Ouch. I told her it would be a challenge--I guess she didn't realize how much of one it would be. I did some searching prior to my meeting with the high-end Realtor, and found plenty of houses in our price range. We looked at many of the houses this weekend, unfortunately many of the houses were at poor locations. However we found a few with potential, so our hope was restored a bit. We'll see how it goes.
