He quit!!!

He did it! He quit smoking. It's been a week now and absolutely positively no nicotine! I hope this helps his count. He was a grumpy jerk last week while trying to quit and I think I was grumpy too. I honestly didn't think FJ would make it the weekend without breaking down. He called me both nights though and exclaimed how proud he was of himself and wanted me to be proud too (I am!). He is in a really good mood about it now and I can't really figure out why. He is more talkative and silly than ever and I just love it. He did say last night that he wishes he could be a "social smoker". I was like- let's give the quit thing some time and see how you feel later (of course hoping that he decides he likes the quit thing!).

While FJ was home, he talked with his parents about our IF situation. His parents are very close-lipped and hardly ever talk about personal things. FJ's mom- Rose- told him that she was against IVF for religious reasons (she's catholic). I know this made FJ feel bad, but he stuck up for us and told them they didn't have to make this decision when starting their family. They got pregnant easily 4 times and had 4 kids- we have no other option. Good for you FJ! You tell them! FJ said that he hopes we don't get to that point. I don't either but I am not holding out hope. A less than 5% chance really sucks but it is reality. At least we both know we are doing all we can to improve our chances.
