we got a kitty!

in TTC after 35
So, this weekend we went to the local shelter to just "look" for a friend for our very social cat.  Current cat is 2 years old and very smart and social.  We have been feeling like he needs a friend for a while, but thought that since we are trying for a baby, maybe 2 cats plus a baby is too much.  However, we just renovated our apartment and had to move out for 3 weeks.  During this time our cat lived with my in-laws and their grumpy cat.  Our cat was soooo persistant and wants to play with her and she didn't want anything to do with him.  The sweetie just was so patient.  When we got home, we felt so bad that he's all alone.  He's always doing things like knocking things off the counter, looking for something to do.

We found a perfect kitty and surprised ourselves by walking home with him from the shelter on our very first day of looking.  We brought him home Sunday night.  He is a year old but is TINY!  He's only 8 pounds and is super playful and cuddly.  I have him in the bathroom for a week for quarantine/health reasons, and last night I was cuddling with him and he FELL ASLEEP ON MY LAP - CUTENESS!!!  I have so much love for him, falling so hard for him.  Feels good. :)

Hopeful that maybe this motherly love for a cat will feed the universal "ears" and I'll get a human baby to use my motherly love on even more! ;)

I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    Yay for a new kitty! I am a hardcore animal lover. I have 5 chihuahuas and 2 cats! For awhile I had 2 chickens, but I live in the city limits and couldn't have a rooster. LoL

    Let's hope this kitty brings some baby luck with it! :)

    "looking" is dangerous :)  We ended up with two kitties that way.  Love them!

    Congratulations! Kittens are so cute. I would have one if they didn't irritate my allergies.

    Pics delivered!!  So our current kitty is the one with the floor and rug in the background. The new kitty is half the size of current kitty.  Here he is in the cage in the shelter, and then 3 pix of him sleeping on my lap in the quarantined bathroom. :)
