So I got home after him yesterday and he's sitting in our familly room. This is how it went.
DH: Did you hear about the fireman that died yesterday?
Me: Yes, the one that fell off the fire escape?
DH: Yes, he was my friend. We use to hang out when I lived in the city. The funeral is on Friday at 10:30 am. I guess I have to come home and then go to the funeral.
Me: Why would you come home?
DH: I have to go to the RE for my bloodwork and culture, that's at 9 right?
Me: Yes it's at 9. I'm so sorry about your friend.
Gotta love men such simple creatures... Never even talked about the IVF or the fees.
I feel horrible for that firemans fiancee. She just kept talking about what a great guy he was...(on the news) T&P's to his family.

I am so sorry about your DH's friend. Prayers go out to him and his family.
I'm glad your DH is coming around about IVF. Maybe after his initial reaction, he was able to think things through a little more. I hope his appointment goes smoothly on Friday. Best of luck to both of you!

You'd think he would had something to say, but I guess if it's all decided there's no need to.
I'm sorry about his friend. T&P for his loved ones.
TTC since 1/2008
Such a tragedy. My aunt is a paramedic and used to be stationed at that fire house. It hits even closer to home when you have family in the fire department.
T&Ps for you and YH!
I hate hate hate hate stories where firemen die.
Sending T&P to his family!
I hope YH is doing okay too (he's a firefighter, right?) ... I know those things really hit close to home for MH ...

Yes MH is a fireman. I hate that it was a stuppid move that killed him. His pack and everything he was carrying weighed over 70lbs and when he went on the fire escape he lost his balance. It was a small kitchen fire... WTF!? It's scary. I think this is why MH decided to just go a head with IVF. Life is short. The guy was in his late 30's...
Girl...you have to tell me when you made your update post.
I am sorry about Chino's freind and feel terrible for his fiance.
How terrible. My thoughts go out to his family.
But definitely crazy how the tides turn with men sometimes! Glad he's on board.
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
MH is 37 ... things like this make him crazy for the same reasons! I'm glad YH is fully on board with IVF now though

MH just turned 40 and all this scares the living shiit out of me! MH just tells me to make sure I get an attorney and ask for an investigation. Things go on at his station that are unsafe!
MH says the same thing. They are so short on manpower in their department that they are running 2 man engine companies. It's SOOO unsafe and it scares me too!! And since they test for promotions (rather than seniority promotions), there are officers that have been there for just 5 years and don't know half of what MH knows with his almost 18 years on the job.
