Architect spent about an hour measuring last week. I'm excited to get drawings and see different options. I'm not sure how much a project like that even goes for: $20k? $50k? I'm not thrilled about taking out a second mortgage and getting into debt for renovations. On the other hand I want to enjoy my house and I'm sick of making decisions based on fertility stuff (like holding off on renos in case we need the cash). If it comes to it that we need to sell the house to afford a cycle, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I'm done living in the what-ifs and am focused on the things I CAN do now rather than what's on hold while we work on building our family.
Live--as you would when a child comes into your life.

This is a good decision - deciding to live life rather than put it on hold "just in case." You're also prompting me to think about getting an architect. We've been tossing up turning a small spare bedroom (that would have been the nursery) into a walk-in wardrobe for several years, and can't make the decision!
ReplyDeleteInfertility /IVF have a way of taking over our lives little by little if we let them. I agree that you can't give everything up for it. There's got to be some balance and some enjoyment of the here and now.
