so we are going to do the insem this month. at least, that is the plan. since our new plan is for me to go up to where the KD lives, I am hoping that the ovulation happens on a weekend. i know that i could go up with late notice to my boss, but if i have court or a meeting, it just makes it that much more complicated. also, i am planning a trip up to see my MIL next weekend and wouldnt it be groovy if it all worked out? i doubt it will though, i dont even have my period yet!
i am going to start drinking the fertilitea this weekend. i hope i like it, i guess it doesnt matter *sigh* this is what we have to do!
i am really optimistic that this month is the month. For a few reasons.
1) I am not going to stress about anything. it will all be good and whatever happens happens.
2) it is free! since it is free, #1 will be a lot easier for me :)
3) i have always said that i didnt want a december baby. i was born on december 23 and my birthday has always been forgotten. my mom is born on december 19 and my gpa is december 1. it is a very busy month with both Hanukkah and Christmas. if i get pregnant now, the baby will be a december baby :) it is the wacky world of fate that i live in, and it just makes me think it will work.
i am also, for the first time, nervous about being pregnant. maybe sub-consciously i never thought it would work before?
maybe i am thinking too much.
bye bye

Hi there,
I found your blog on lesbianfamily.org. I hope you don’t mind me writing to tell you about my book.
I am coeditor of a new anthology on queer parenting, just released in the United States: And Baby Makes More: Known Donors, Queer Parents and Our Unexpected Families. As Dana Rudolph from Mombian says, it’s “a wonderful collection of essays that explore the perspectives of those who have used a known donor, those who have themselves donated sperm or eggs or been a surrogate, and the children created by these acts. It’s a great read on modern families, no matter how you created yours.”
We’ve been getting great reviews from the likes of Bay Windows (“And Baby Makes More is a thoughtful, funny, and poignant volume about the variety of ways we define families today.”), Mombian (“... the kind of rich explorations of LGBTQ parenting we need more of today”), The Dominion (“The stories in this collection are loud and inspiring examples of courage, creativity and love and queer parenting. ... This book succeeds in the most urgent of the game: creating a space for the stories to be heard.”) and the Gay & Lesbian Review (“... diverse, poignant, and sometimes very funny.... surprising, enlightening and mandatory reading for any lesbians or gay men thinking of embarking on adventures in the wild world of parenthood.”)
I hope the anthology might be of interest to you, and to your extended circles of family and friends. We’d very much appreciate it if you would pass on the word to anyone you think might enjoy the book, which is available online and at many independent and alternative bookstores. You can find more information as well at my blog: http://mamanongrata.com/?page_id=303.
All the best!
