Love, Hotness, Babies, and Anniversary Decisions
Jen got a haircut last night and she looks so incredibly hot right now. I mean, she looks hot all the time but her hair was starting to get kind of shaggy in the back and the front had lost its texture. And The Dark Overlord fixed it and made it messy in front and clean in the back and holy hot damn, she is good looking. Her hair falls into her eyes and it is just Too. Much. To. Handle. Yow.
Can I just tell you how psyched I am that I still totally have the serious hots for my wife? She rocks my socks. She also gets my rocks off. Rocks rocks rocks. I'm just glad she's so darned sexy.

My fertility monitor arrived at work today but I forgot to bring it home. It doesn't really matter, though, because I can't start using it until my next CD1, which could be as much as 2 months from now given my recent history. I ordered a new basal thermometer, too, but it hasn't arrived yet. Babies babies babies.
Speaking of, Jen and I have talked about it at length and I think (we're Libras, ask again tomorrow) the consensus is to go at this thing as aggressively as possible and hope that conception occurs sooner rather than later. The chances of success increase with IUI versus intravaginal inseminations, and IUI-prepared sperm are of a better quality than standard sperm. And if the doctor wants to do a bunch of blood tests/ultrasounds to maximize chances, we'll probably give it a go. As long as we can afford it, that is. We probably can't do it that way forever.
I'm also going to try to get my doctor to file the insurance claim anyway, even though it will be rejected, so I can attempt to go through the appeals process at the insurance company. It's worth a shot.

We'd always talked about having a big first anniversary party to celebrate our marriage because we didn't have a wedding (for a number of reasons, not the least of which being my bad wedding experience). What do you think about that? Is it cheesy? Does it come across like some sort of gift-grubbing endeavor? If it's NOT cheesy, do we have it at a place like a wedding reception, or just a big house party?
Decisions.
