You can get in the doors for free Love to see you there Monday morning and a little tired She's a little more tired than me. I think our smallest boy wiener had some Issues stomach bug this last night or so and she was up with him a lot of the night And therefore I was awake a lot of the night too, but not quite as much I put in earplugs after why I didn't realize he was sick but But he made it outside every time. Good boy. The mother and her took good care of him Love my voice Time to go for another ultrasound And run all the way into Winnipeg again. It's ultrasound number what three since we started this Well, I guess three since we started the drugs This familiar building we're here again, and I am once again sitting in the husband's parking lot with the other husbands waiting for their wives or girlfriends up there another ultrasound today, so they're just checking on our follicles and And There was 14 in there last time they checked they want to see what size they're at and now this is the the most intense part of this whole process We got to come in probably again either tomorrow or the next day and Every probably second day until they're ready to go in there and retrieve the eggs. Hopefully get all 14 and We'll see how many of them make it through the whole fertilization process and then the ones that do make it We freeze and we can talk more about how that process when we get to it for now. We're just Trying to get through this Brits been handling it like a champ. She's been I Want to say perfectly normal But I was expecting a little bit more of a roller coaster of like emotions and stuff because you know They're they're putting a lot of different hormones into her I was we were both warned that it would be a roller coaster and it really hasn't been she's been completely level Very happy. I think she's just very content and very excited that this whole thing is actually happening this is her whole life dream to be a mom, right and This is all she's ever wanted. So I think she's just very excited to To be on the road with this journey so She may be feeling worse than she's letting on But uh, you know, she's just sucking it up and handling it like a champ because she knows that The reward for this will be a healthy little baby We'll see what happens Been quite the journey to get here years You know, I feel like I'm just kind of useless at this point. There's not much I can do My part is coming later this week My my my big my big part my big appearance where I get to go upstairs And give my contribution and then that's pretty much the end of my part, right until the baby born and then Then it's go time there diapers and short nights no sleep and uh Oh, we'll find out when we get there I don't care. It's gonna be worth it Gonna be worth it. She'll be back down soon and she can let you know how it went She's back I am here Keep in mind. She didn't sleep much last night Because her fur baby wouldn't let her sleep Her fur baby's stomach wouldn't let her sleep. It's good practice for when skin babies come Excellent practice So this time we only saw 10 eggs Last time it was 12 the time before that was 14, but that doesn't mean that they're not in there They could just be hiding behind others Hopefully it's not a huge space so Okay, two more days of shots and then they're either gonna trigger me Wednesday or Thursday Okay, and then when's the egg retrieval Friday Saturday or Sunday So if they trigger you on Wednesday, it'll be Friday that triggers them to release then it would be on Friday So we've got to come back in Wednesday morning. He said yeah, 8 30 Okay, day after tomorrow. That's what we thought So once again, let's go get some more drugs All right Another 1134 dollars right there and 79 cents It's all together the first one that we picked up was for five days. I was 2300 dollars not 22 is 2300 Last time was another 1500. So then what does that equal? It's uh, it was 1568 1568 so 23 33 3800 plus another 11 now So 4900 just about $5,000 Yeah More $5,000 in prescription injections. Yeah, so far so far. Yes Wednesday. We go in again And they're thinking I told them before right that the egg retriever will be Uh next weekend sometime Friday Saturday something yeah And then there'll be a trigger shot we got to get yet. How much are those? Those are 200 bucks, right? Oh, uh, it depends on the dosage. I'm assuming I don't know but I mean healthcare doesn't cover any of this stuff. So All right, so we're trying to keep track of the financial side of it Just because we found it very difficult To find out how much this was going to cost the nurses at our fertility clinic were very vague And rightly so I guess everyone's is a little bit different everyone needs a little bit different doses But they wouldn't even give us a general ballpark until we like hounded them a little bit And then after hounding them for a while, they finally gave us this general, you know, about $17,000 Okay, well, this is very important information to know because we need to make sure we're all financially set Before we get into this so that we don't get halfway through it and run out of money And be like, oh no, we just wasted all our money because we can't finish this now But the good news is for all of these procedures they do accept credit cards So if you do run out of cash and you have a credit card at least you can use that I mean, I don't recommend putting it all on a credit card because interest rates are so high But to each their own if that's that's a backup you can use at least I was afraid that they wouldn't even accept credit cards for some reason. I thought that that was a thing They do so Anyways, we're fortunate enough. We've been able to pay our whole way through this And that's that's why we're sort of sharing the financial side of it because Some people might have a difficult have a difficult time figuring out how much it was $8,820 for this egg retrieval Process the whole thing not including the six hundred dollar holding fee for the spot So we're in the cycle. That's just holding fee. Yeah, that's right So that's about nine thousand dollars just for the egg retrieval part of it We're at five thousand dollars now for the injection part of it That's going to go up a little bit yet probably plus 150 bucks for a preemptive ultrasound before this even starts And then once we do the transfer, which is when they implant the Fertilized egg. That's another two thousand dollars That'll bring us up to about 15 000 if i'm doing the math right in my head We'll do the math better for you when we've gotten more sleeve more caffeine And this is all over but yeah right around there so far so 15 they they quoted us about 17 000 and they said that would be the high end Uh, so that's pretty close so far So we'll see what happens at the end of it. We'll keep you guys in the loop So if you're thinking you and your partner thinking of going through this in the future you have a A rough ballpark of the cost but remember every region in canada every province has their own system For doing this here in manitoba. We have a pretty good tax rebate or whatever you call that We can claim this on our taxes and we get a lot of it back next year next income tax in 2023 From what i've been told we get more back than any other provinces. So yeah, yeah So it all depends where you're at and in the us it might be something completely different Your healthcare system is completely different than ours up here. I don't understand that one bit But uh for here This is our story from manitoba It'd be a fun day out. Anyways, right any one of those days april 21st 22nd 23rd Out in mississauga there if you're in the area, why not swing past doesn't cost you anything Just make sure you register on trekworld.ca with my promo code and drop in say hello If you're in the area and while you're there you can check out all the other exhibitors that are You'll be pretty impressed. It's a pretty big thing. It's just gonna be a lot to see there So you can plan to just swing by but you could expect to stay a little while because there's a lot to see So a little bit of snow in the shady areas where the sun doesn't hit too much but Looking out here at the sunset Nice dry pavement. It's hard to believe that they call they're calling for 40 centimeters of snow Starting tomorrow night. That's up to two feet And some areas even more out west near the edge of the red river valley on the west side They're calling up to 80 centimeters in some places 100 centimeters is one meter 80 centimeters. What is that? That's like three feet right 30 60 No, almost three feet two and a half feet or so I don't know. My math is off right now, but ho It's supposed to be the biggest blizzard in decades for manitoba Looking out here at the beautiful evening today. Like it's really Really mother nature Really manitoba I guess we've been spoiled with so many mild winters in the past decade and past five years that You know, we got to make up for it sometime So enjoy it while we can Tomorrow will be the last nice day for a little while. It's all supposed to end by next weekend It'll probably melt over the next week, but man, that's gonna be a lot of water everywhere again Good times. Thanks, colorado appreciate it And shout out to north dakota and minnesota south of us who are uh, going to be getting it worse than us From what I've heard Old colorado low just grabbed my paperwork from my mail slot van trailer 5198 That's what we're looking for I'm guessing it'll probably be in the loaded lineup over here They said it was ready to go 51 47 51 30 51 38 51 99 that's close. Oh, so close 51 98 98 where are you? 98 98 Ha ha Here you are dark hole How you doing bud? I'm gonna take you into the city a little bit of nighttime deliveries Come here Come here.

Oh, yeah, we're tied on all right Whoops I got me some new summertime gloves They're a little thinner. They breathe a little better My other gloves were for winter time And my hands get hot real quick then these are nice and light. I always use Vigo gloves I'm not trying to advertise them to you or anything, but uh, you know, they're worth a mention They got lots of different types of gloves Winter gloves summer gloves spring gloves work gloves gardening gloves. I don't know. I always get them off amazon It's just convenient because they're uh, I get prime delivery with them then I don't like ordering anything from amazon. That's not a prime delivery So that's the prime thing on it. I'm game. Let's make sure we got no air leaks I don't know if you noticed it yet or not. I don't think I've showed you but remember, uh Right around here. There was those terrible ugly marks I was able to polish this down a bit and get rid of that I'm not finished yet It looks a lot better where those mirrors used to be used to be like these, uh Just an ugly marking there, right? The one bit at a time shining her up I heard no air leaks from the glad hands there Let's go back here. Make sure the brakes and airbags back here aren't leaking Give them a kick compressed air Compressed air fantastic All right What do we got in here? What are those you guys want to see? I want to see Yeah, what do we got in the box bubble wrap that's fun. You guys want to pop some bubbles? Oh, that was fun. Okay. That was fun One two three four five six seven eight looks like coolers There's something at the front there too. Okay, so it's not that bad and they're all on pallets So they'll be able to unload it with a pallet jack. That's good. I was wondering if it would be something that would need to be hand bombed off Uh, sometimes they're a little sneaky like that. Hey, could you do this quick delivery? I get there. Oh We got a hand bomb old trailer. No, not the case today I don't mind hand bombing. It's uh, that's why they send me on those deliveries because I won't complain about it It's good for the heart. It's good to exercise It's just nice to have a heads up Oh, well, what can you do all part of the job, right? Don't forget it's latched good I'm a little bit nervous about this snowstorm coming in because uh We have our uh Well, the last ultrasound appointment on wednesday. We're hoping the last one and then on friday is the actual procedure that's what we're hoping for anyways, but it might be different but wednesday is supposed to be when that snowstorm rolls in so we might be putting it in four-wheel drive because We're getting in there. That's a very important very expensive appointment A little bit of snow is not going to stop us from getting there. I just hope it's not too bad Hope it's not too bad Oh, yeah, that looks so much better We're into a mirror pretty much, right? But this is compared to what it was like up here You can see where I started you want to make them, uh Always want to make things better leave them better than you found them This should just be a quick delivery then Especially since I have an appointment time They should be ready for me, right? Show up there bing bang boom get everything off the trail or I can go home Be home before midnight I have to see Cross here quick So i'm going to go around the east side of winnipeg to the north side come down route 90 And my delivery is on key weighton street The corner of key weighton street and burrows If you're familiar with winnipeg if you're not join the club most people aren't I'm just impressed that you've heard of winnipeg one good thing about an evening or nighttime delivery like this Is that at least i'm expecting very little traffic Gas prices are still sitting at about a dollar 74 per liter for gasoline I think it's about a dollar 85 for diesel Somewhere it's like they just needed an excuse to raise the prices. I don't think they're ever going to come back down I hope i'm wrong Key weighton or as google says it key watton Key watton street This is up in the northwest corner of winnipeg Key weighton We're almost there Just around the corner First we got to wait for the carers google calm down There's another one coming. I'm way too nice I'm way too nice. I should have gone Okay, this time for sure. I'm gonna need both lanes. I gotta wait for that guy now too All right, thank goodness for gps now Remember the days when you had to like squint and try to read the street sign Now you got computers that tell you where to go. You just got to double check them always double check them Don't trust them right off the bat or right out of the game I think not these lights, but the next lights. That's what i'm thinking Yeah, this is church avenue Funny because I don't know if there's any churches on that avenue, but that's church avenue Oh, and I'm not gonna be able to make this corner because I see vehicles there already at the light. I'm gonna have to wait I'm gonna need the whole road to get in there See there's cars there. I'm gonna need that whole lane. Oh, I can just button hook it Okay, we're gonna go from here Cut in here. So my dock should be right there. There it is Wide open and free. Oh looks like there's guys standing out there in the lot already Oh, no, I'm not gonna be able to make that turn with that suv there Busy streets for this time of night. I'm in here. I'm gonna turn in here You just wait Tight tight tight tight. Okay. I see them standing outside here already Okay, I'll uh see you guys in a little bit. I gotta talk to these guys here I'm gonna line myself up at the dock And I thought that they had fixed the purple light No, it was just that the right angle is hiding behind the other one's not still there Those are factory defects. They're not supposed to be purple. They weren't installed there to be purple They were supposed to be white like all the rest of them There's been a factory defect and uh, they need to be replaced, which is why I'm wondering how long is it gonna take?

I started at 7 30 this trailer is now empty. So it'll go in the empty lot in the back Is this 30 80? That's 30 90 is the one that has a new motor. It must be out on the road already now To get really broke in for a new motor. They'd have to send it with a heavy load to the mountains That would break it in Everything else is full The whole place So we'll put it here so that they know it's an empty And they'll throw it in a hole and one opens up first thing in the morning
