I don't know you either. But welcome back! Um, last 8 months, the only news I have is that I went back to school to become a nurse.

(Maybe you should share what YOU have been up to...?)

Yo Chris!

The Red Sox are trying to trade Manny! Again! But you knew that!

well, lets see i've been up to lots. i stopped posting here because work blocked me out and i never had time at home. now i can access this sandbox thing and i'll enjoy it while it lasts.

well, we lost a baby a while back after trying for three years. that was hard, that also contributed to me not wanting to do much. since that time we have been to a fertility treatment center and had all the tests done and what not...came back that i have a low sperm count. treatment started this month and at the end of the month we will hopefully have done a successful ivf cycle with icsi. i won't explain what icsi is...lets just say it involves one sperm and one egg.

i've quit smoking...been smoke free for 6 months. i've basically stopped drinking as well...well drinking as much...im down to about 4 pints a week. as opposed to 40.

thats about it.

hope everyone else is doing well.

bit of an exaggeration on my part....but not by much.

― thebingo (thebingo), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry about the baby you lost :( Mother Nature can be very cruel sometimes. Best of luck for your future IVF attempt.

My life is exactly the same as it was eight months ago (except that I am eight months older, obv). I have no news.

the house is a neverending project. walls are coming. cabinets being sledghammered. quite exciting.

i've done nothing to my house besides buy a new area rug and put some antique onion lamps on the outside. hopefully in february we will re-do the hardwoods and kitchen.

Good to hear from you again, Chris, and that things are improving. Now, are you still making chairs...?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Chris - So sorry to hear about the lost baby - that combined with the fertility problems has got to be the worst experience. Good luck with the ISCI! And congrats on being smoke-free; that is difficult addiction to break. Good on the drinking less, too, it sounds like...

― Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

no on the chairs, i've had too much going on to even attempt one. but things are looking up finally. its been a rough year but we finally reached that light at the end of the tunnel.

i did become and uncle too, that helped a lot even though i resented my sister for a bit. the little guy is adorable and loves his uncle.

I remember feeling the same way when our employee brought her baby with her to work. There were times I couldn't really look at the baby cause I would burst into tears.
