One answer, two more to go!

So Jeff had his annual review yesterday.  It was the best review he's had in the almost eight years he's worked there!  He's "exceeding expectations" across the board and was given a 4.5% raise!!  Which I'm sure you know in this economy is almost unheard of.  His boss said it's the biggest raise she's ever approved. :) And his annual bonus is almost as much as last year (93% of last years).  WOOHOO!  We can pay down a lot of debt and maybe even take a vacation this year?!?! Awesome!  We are going out for dinner tonight to celebrate (because as I've said, we almost never allow ourselves to go out to eat unless we have a gift card).  Even if it's just to a casual chain like Chilli's it will be a treat!

I did not, however, hear about the job for me.  I assume that just because I didn't hear from them means that they have not made a decision yet.  Not that I did not get it.  I figure if I did not get it, I will have at least gotten a email.  So while it sucks that I have to go in to work at Target on Monday when I had hoped to quit this weekend...I still have high hopes!

And yes, period showed up last night. Ugh.  But the good news? I finally saw the sheet for our canceled IUI in January when I went to pick up Jeff's medical records for his upcoming urologist appointment.  All they had previously told us was they only had two live sperm in the sample.  They didn't say that was post wash!  And that his original sample had a total of 179million sperm in 1.7ml of which 16% motility....ie 28 million were swimmers!!  This is more than double the highest number he's ever produced!  This is more than SEVEN times the amount from when he was Dx with MFI!   We don't understand how with the wash they could only find two.  My parents think they screwed up the wash somehow.  Since I don't fully understand the science behind it, I am not sure it was screwed up...but this fills me with so much hope for Monday's repeat S/A and Tuesday's Uro appointment.  I hope that the steroids from October's nightmare are finally out of his system and he has amazing numbers.  Hell, I was going to be happy if he had 28 million sperm total and now you're telling me he had 28 million swimmers in January?! Go Baby!! 

Needless to say the anxiety level has dropped but I will continue to spend the next few days worrying, planning, daydreaming and wringing my hand over more news to come.  Let's hope this trend of awesomeness continues!!
