So we got the pictures today of our possible baby daddy. And we think he is totally cute! They sent us 11 pictures all together from infant to adult. We had to sign a confidentiality paper that we wouldn’t publish the pictures or do anything public with them, so we can’t put them up on the blog. If you know us in real life we will probably show them to you eventually. Right now we don’t really want to show them to many people because it’s really no one’s business and also we just don’t want to hear anything negative about him. He is what we were looking for, blue eyed, skinny, smart, and normal/cute looking. I was so excited when I saw the package at the door, I just about freaked out. What a happy exciting week for us!
Now that we have all of our ducks in a row so to speak, it looks like May 1st is our tentative insem date. S is about to ovulate in the next day or two, and so we don’t have time to do this cycle. Plus our doctor wants to run a few basic tests on the 3rd day of her cycle before we do the insem, so if everything cycle-wise runs as usual, that puts it at just about May 1st. I think that this is really exciting because my birthday is May 12th, so that means we could possibly know by my birthday if we are pregnant or not. Wouldn’t that be a great birthday surprise?! I did tell S though that her getting pregnant in no way was a replacement for a birthday present though, exciting as it may be. Ha! I wish it was going to be in April though, May just sounds really far away right now…

Keep on Keepin’ on
I have my Drs. appointment in less then a week. I am excited. I am feeling so much better, so I am hoping my levels are fine. It’s hard to tell. L thinks that it is too soon for it to be better, but I am trying to stay positive.
I ordered my second batch of Sepal OPK kits. They just got here today and I should start peeing on things in less then a week.
We picked our donor. We are now going to use Cryogenic Laboratories because it is more cost efficient for us. Our donor is a blue eyed, blond haired 6’2 164lb guy who loves dogs and surfing and is an engineer. Works for us. Honestly, we are not all that picky as to who it is at this point since we have looked at so many. We still have certain credentials such as a clean health history and family medical history and blue eyes, but not a ton. I also want him to not be too big or too tall because I do not want to deliver a 10 lb baby, which I feel is reasonable, but L thinks is goofy.
I think all the info on the guys is really funny. 3 things cracked us up while we went thru donors today.
1. Quite a few people put fish as their favorite animal. L and I have a long history of her wanting fish as pets and them eventually freaking her out, so then we give them to other loving homes. I feel if your favorite animal is fish, then you just really don’t like animals.
2. One of the “staff impressions” about one of the guys with 2 daughters was that he, “loves his little ladies”. L likes to order for me at restaurants and call me her “little lady” because it embarrassed me the first time she did it. For example, she likes to say, “the little lady will have a sasparilla” even though no where serves sarsaparilla.
3. There is a part of the profile that has different measurements of different parts of their bodies. It has waist and head and foot size and such. L decided that she wanted to know the penis size of these men. I of course rolled my eyes and asked why and she said that if we have a boy, that will be an important part to him, so we should know what the father is packing.
I just let you in on how strange we are, so hopefully it was funny and not too strange for our followers.
On the plus side of everyday things, we have figured out how to live very cheaply. We just refinanced our house for a much lower payment and we paid off all credit cards. We don’t have cable or gym memberships or any other extraneous expense, so we are rocking and rolling on getting set up to be a one income household. I am going to ask for a raise in the next week. I have never done that before and am pretty nervous, but the worse thing they are going to say is no, so I figure it is worth a try.
I will update you after my Drs. apt. results are back next week.
