Long week

What a long week it was for me. It was Week of the Young Child and my work ( im a preschool teacher) celebrated with various activities through out the week ( petting zoo, face painting etc). Im glad the week is over. I currently have 4 co workers who are pregnant and yesterday I sat with one who let me feel her belly all over as the little one in her tummy kicked and moved about. It was excited and sad at the same time, knowing how bad C and I want that for us, soon hopefully!

However, last week we got a chance to meet up with D to talk more about the donor situation. We invited him over for dinner and then went to grab Starbucks (Yummy, however I dont drink coffee). It was a great visit and we are just waiting to hear from him again, its hard not to call and ask if he has talked to his G.F yet.

On our end I have a Dr. apt the beginning  of June to get things kick started. C has really taken to the whole mommy idea. She has found a book online she wants to get and was really upset when we went to Borders due to the fact that they had NO books on lesbian or gay parenting. There is a book store on Castro in the city that only carries books about lesbian and gay issues, like parenting. We may have to go look there soon...

On Agenda.

-Wait to hear back from D ( we need things to pass the time for this. Hopefully the weather gets better so we can start going for walks)

-Find more lesbian parenting books to buy

-Go to my Dr. apt in June

The Call is made

* A bit of history on D. I have known him since I was in 8th grade and I am now in my Mid twenties. C has known him for some years since we have been together.*

The call has been made, let me repeat the call has been made. After deciding to call D when we had some time, we made the call. The first 15 mins was catching up, the usual how are you blah blah. He actually at one point asked if we needed any thing. (Does he know?). After I had said no ( Ok so I made a little white lie, okay a big one!) We all talked and the mood during the conversation was right. We then started by saying that we "wanted to talk to him about something very.." "You want my sperm dont you?" (How did he know?!?!). I laughed knowing he was right and said " Yes, there is a lot we have to do on our end but we wanted to talk to you sooner than later". We decided to get together hopefully sometime this week, as he works grave shift at work. He said he would have to talk to someone ( g.f im guessing) about it. He said he would have to really sit down and talk to her. We are scared he will say no and then we will be back to square 1. We are hopeful being that we have known him for so long and he had a very strong friendship with us.We explained why we wanted to use a known donor also. 

I will keep my fingers crossed. 

So Excited & I just cant hide it

Today while at work we found out that a co-worker of mine just got engaged on her trip to Hawaii! How exciting!

Back to us..

I was going to call the doctor to get an appointment because well I'm just not build to wait for any thing. I bought my wedding dress early and well would be happy with starting to look or cribs early, unfortunately that's the way I am. C on the other hand could wait until we actually bring a baby home to start looking for a crib, so we balance each other out (Thank goodness). 

 Items on the agenda are-

• not to wait for the doctor to call me but to call the doctor my self 
• decide upon a time to call D 
• Start typing up our donor contract and find out more info. on the contract it self

First Post

We had started thinking of having a baby a while ago but as to if we were really serious was another story.

Now, we are serious and ready! Although some people will say that they think we are to young or "not ready" (Please when is any one ready for a little one who will change every aspect of their life?) we know our selves and our families and that is all that matters (So there!)

A while back while we were browsing through Borders, which we do more often then not. We found our selves in the parenting section ( coincidence? ) and I picked up a book all about lesbian pre conception, conception, pregnancy and birth, so, we bought it. Needless to say its almost my bible ( I'm sure C would like to throw it out some nights ). Right now here is where we are in the baby making road-

• I have to schedule a Dr apt. to get on track with my period etc.
• We may have decided upon a known donor ( Another blog for another night) but have yet to ask him yet
• We have already set our rules and such that we would like to include in our known donor contract.

It is time for bed, or to watch the news
