Long time no blog

Wow I can not believe it has been 3 weeks since I last blogged. There has been a lot of stuff going on around here. I started my first round of Clomid this month and there was a lot of stress there. We thought at first that our insurance would not cover the treatments so I was stressed about the financial implications of paying for this all out of pocket. Then, by chance, I called the insurance company and found out that the treatments would be 100% covered. That should have been great news but getting my doctor's office to believe me and look into this issue was like pulling teeth. Is it just me or does it always seem that you love your doctor and hate the office staff or vice versa? Anyway it is ok now and I will be going on a stronger dose next month since the 50mg did not do much.

So in between dealing with doctors and insurance companies I have been knitting. I managed to complete my first real sock.

I love it so much I did not want to take it off! This is the Yarn Harlot's Basic Sock Recipe and it was very easy for me to follow. The Knit Picks Dancing yarn makes a nice and dense fabric that will keep my feet toasty all winter. I think I have enough of the yarn to make another pair after this one.

I have also been working on Icarus. I love the pattern and I am proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone with this project. However, you will have to wait for pictures until my next update. Until next time ....

Congrats on the sock! Also, I can't wait to see Icarus. I agree, it's usually a love/hate with the dr/their staff. Glad you got the insurance part worked out though.
