It’s one day before the testing rollercoaster begins, and we just got the best news – my husband got a new job! It’s a perfect position for him, he will work a lot less, we don’t have to move so I can keep the job that I love, he makes much more money, everything’s great! And then… he got the details for the medical plan, and guess what… His new company pays for $25,000 in fertility benefits!!!! If I’m pregnant (and I actually have a baby...), great. But if there aren’t twins in there, I plan to have another baby, and with these type of benefits, I will not pass go, I will not wait, I’ll go straight to IVF. If someone else is paying for it, why not??? It did say that pre-approval is required for fertility drugs, but even if we have to pay for the drugs, that is A LOT less than we would pay otherwise.
And the best part? Last night, while celebrating the offer he received, I told him, “I think you’ll be a better dad in this new job.” And he said, “I know – I’ve been thinking a lot about that. Now we can share responsibilities more, and I can be more involved.” Love him!!!

Congrats! That is super awesome news!
ReplyDeleteGreat news. Congrats!
ReplyDeletecongrats to you and hubbs!!! this is awesome news and the first of many more good things to come for you guys. more money, less hours = can you beat this combo??? not to mention the fertility coverage. you've totally hit the jackpot here. sooo excited for you :o) will be thinking of you tomorrow as you test, and crossing every limb possible for you! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news!
ReplyDeleteWow! What great news! It sounds like everything is falling into place. I hope the picture is completed by a BFP tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is SO wonderful! At first I was disappointed, as I thought that your 'yippee' was a bfp, and I was like, 'oh, only a job...' but NO. This is the lifesaver of all jobs! You'll get more time with your husband (and he'll be happier, so you'll be happier), and all the fertility treatments you need! Of course it would be best if this IUI simply worked, but if it didn't, the promise of this coverage would sure take the sting out of it. I am so happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great news, Alex! It's especially wonderful that this job will allow him to be more supportive of you. And that you don't have to move! Now I'm hoping for some more great news coming in very soon!
ReplyDeleteThiis is absolutely incredible news!!!! How crazy awesome!!!
ReplyDeletethis is the best news I've heard all week!!! IVF coverage - woo hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best tomorrow for a BFP...Moreover, sounds like your hubby's new position and the fact that it has added benefits is a good sign. I firmly believe, "Good things happen to those who wait"...Keep us posted! Crossing my fingers for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is so great. I love that hubs is on the same page as you regarding the time thing... and how sweet of him to say that. Husbands do so much more thinking/worrying than they show!
ReplyDeleteThe fertility coverage... IS SUPER AWESOME. Hopefully there will be more yippee news tomorrow, but, if not, you can maybe rest a little easier knowing you have the coverage.
But, no if nots. Crossing fingers and saying prayers for your urine being the positive kind. Yes, my prayer involves you, your pee, a white stick, and a little poppy seed.
i'm so glad you got so much good news all at once!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news! Congratulations! Everything is falling into place for your BFP you'll get in a few days. I see good things coming your way very soon!
ReplyDeleteAlex, fanTAStic news, on every single front. So very happy for you. I'm pulling for you next month, but it's wonderful that you'd be able to put that coverage towards bebe number two!

ReplyDeleteYay! That's wonderful news, Alex!
ReplyDeleteAnd so great that he also thinks he'll be a better dad with this job. (Actually I'm hoping the same for H, who is rather miserable with his job at the moment -- good thing we have new jobs lined up for next year.)
Awesome!!! Many congrats to your husband!
