Tomorrow. It’s happening tomorrow morning. Our first and hopefully last IUI (insemination for the laymen). Odds are quite low for success on the first try. However, I am practicing optimism for the first time. Ever.
This isn’t going to turn into a blog about us trying to conceive. Or TTC for those in the know. I’ve read so many blogs about single women, couples with fertility issues and lesbian couples trying to make a baby. There are acronyms galore and TTC is just one that I managed to figure out. Not to take away from the arduous journey these folks are on but I can’t let this rule my life.
Tomorrow could be the beginning of the end of my life as I know it. Or not. We will have to wait two weeks to find out. If not, we will try again. We will probably try a third time if nature requires us to do so. What I don’t foresee us doing, which kind of sets us apart from the women whose blogs I have read, is neither of us want to be on that 8th, 9th, or 14th try. We both agree if it’s meant to be we will get pregnant.
Save the fact that my soul and my heart belong out west in the mountains, my life is full. I have the most wonderfully weird, understanding friends and girlfriend who completely get me. I’m at peace with whatever happens. What lies ahead couldn’t be more out of my control and I’m just fine with that.

Ready..set ….GO!! (holy shit)
I love you!
Holy shit is right!!!!
I love you too honey.
Good luck!
It worked for us, so there’s hope!
There is definitely hope! Thanks!
Got my fingers crossed! Being a parent can be wonderful, especially as, in your case (not mine), you actually PLAN your pregnancies (in full disclosure, I’ve never been pregnant; I’m talking about my wife).
Good for you for being optimistic. That’s the way to go through life. I’d rather be disappointed than be a whiny little bitch all the time.
I hope you get knocked up real soon!
Thanks Smak!
Wishing you every happiness and success. It is a great thing when people who actually want children get them. 🙂
Thank you! It will be a great thing. And an expensive thing. As opposed to getting pregnant on a Friday night and all you spent was $50 on a bar tab.
My fingers are crossed for you! And you have a beautiful attitude about life. I hope you get to share it with a tiny person of your own : )
Thank you so much, that’s sweet of you to say!
All right modern medicine, let’s do this! Thinking nothing but the very best thoughts for you two tomorrow.
How did you and the Masshole decide which of you would be the one to carry?
It wasn’t even a decision. I didn’t really want to and she did. Made it easy. When it comes to the idea of me getting pregnant, I say does anyone really want to unleash Godzilla on Tokyo?
Good answer. I was just curious because you two are in such a unique situation where you can make that decision of which one would carry. I just assumed it was Rock, Paper, Scissors, but what do I know?
Go team!
Go sperm!
Another great t-shirt idea.
Keeping fingers crossed that the first time was the charm! And I’m with you about not being into the whole pregnancy thing. A pregnant Madame Weebles also would have been like unleashing Godzilla on Tokyo.
Thanks Weebs! And thank you for understanding my feelings. When I give people that analogy of what it would be like if I were pregnant, most people laugh. But they don’t realize that I’m totally fucking serious. I think I would be wretched. What would surprise me is, if all of sudden I am so in love with the process, that I want to get pregnant. I very seriously doubt that will happen though.
