I paid off a student loan!

It's a little one, and I've been paying diligently on that bastard for 10 years, but still--I finally paid off a student loan. Go me!

I also transferred the balance on one of my Bank of America credit cards to a 0% one, and cancelled the two open B of A credit cards. Now I am officially no longer a customer of Bank of America, in any form. That feels pretty good. I'm feeling all fiscally responsible this week, even after the dentist told me I would need $976 worth of dental work (out-of-pocket) in the next two months.

In other news, I'm definitely not pregnant. I start another round of Clomid today.

Clomid

I've finally moved up to the next level of fertility drug. I was on Metformin for a while to try to regulate my periods, but that didn't work at all. Then we moved, then I had to find a new doctor, then the holidays, blah blah blah. I've started the first round of Clomid, and the new doctor (who is funny and wears bow ties) is optimistic.

Which is good. But I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of getting pregnant, you know, NOW.

Aislynn

In this picture she looks kinda like a cross between a dried-up monkey and a string bean with hair, but I have no doubt she's actually cuter in person. For being 9 weeks premature, she's doing exceptionally well, and may get to go home much earlier than expected. Whew!

In other news, it's only the second snow of the year, and I'm already sick of it. Also I have a cold. But I've started thinking about the garden I want to put in this spring; thinking about herbs and vegetables makes the snow (a little teeny eensy) little bit less depressing. If anyone has any experience with starting a garden in a cooler climate, I'd love to hear from you! Chance of last frost up here won't pass until the beginning of May.
