Who is Champuru?

Aloha, I'm Donna, known everywhere on the Internet as "Champuru." I'm a Christian, blissfully wedded to my perfect match (the yang to my yin) of 15 years and a stay-at-home mom to my miracle baby, born in October 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from my hometown, seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest. Read more on the About page.

IVF ain’t cheap

IVF Bills

Whenever I see an envelope bearing my infertility specialist’s return address, I immediately cringe because I know that means more money out of our pocket. Thankfully, our medical insurance has covered a HUGE portion of the procedures thus far, but there’s still a sizable portion that we are responsible for that makes a significant dent in our budget. We recently paid $915 and today’s mail brought another bill for $495.41. And remember, I still have not done the frozen embryo transfer (FET) procedure yet, so I’m expecting more bills in the upcoming months. (I’m praying for a large tax return. Come on, Uncle Sam, pay up!)

We joked that this baby is costing us money before he/she/they are even born. But, you know what, if the Lord blesses us with a child(ren), it will all be worth it.

In the meantime, we’ll keep praying — and paying.
