Ok here goes nothing..
It's Courtney now. I'm finally talking.. or writing.. yayy!
Anyways my little Jamie and I had a discussion last night which brought us to realize our differences in the way we look at this whole baby making adventure. Jamie's nickname may as well be Detailed Debbie (if I write more you'll see that I like to use alliterations.. it's just fun for everyone). She thinks about EVERYTHING that I would never think of. I'm a pretty simple gal, you see. So Jamie over here is ordering Moby Wraps and ovulation predictor kits and such and I'm just thinking sperm, baby, yay. That's my thought process. I'm excited about the baby. Jamie's excited about everything in between. I guess I just don't think like her. Like I said, I'm a simple gal.
Sooo I'm going to work on doing my research and getting prepared for our baby making adventure. I have done some reading up on the whole at home insemination process and yesterday I bought my first item for baby making. Now when I say I bought it that, of course, means that I suggested it and Jamie bought it. Anyways my first purchase suggestion was a speculum. Why, you ask? I'm a very visual person and you pretty much have to explain everything to me like you would a 5 year old. So since I'm going to be the one injecting Stacey's sperm I want to make sure I'm doing it right. This whole thing may sound odd, but I went ahead and felt her cervix last night and we bought the speculums because I need a visual of what I'll be aiming for. I'm sure it's not hard, but I literally have to see it or I'll feel like I'm doing it wrong. It's like without seeing it I can feel it, but until I get that visual confirmation I'll be convinced that I actually touched her duodenum instead. That was funny, right? Duodenum. I'm just odd. If you can't already tell I ramble a lot and repeat myself. It's pretty much Jamie's favorite thing about me.
Ok so on to the next thing. The other day I was considering getting a baby book, but I was by myself and there were just so many and I couldn't decide which one to get. So Jamie mentions The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians so I did some googling and read some reviews and such. I'm pretty sure that's the one that we need to get so that will be my next little bit of research and, from the looks of the reviews, it should teach me a lot about baby making, pregnancy and actually having the little beebee and knowing what to do with the tiny :) SO..
here we go!
So here we are...over a year later.

I found the Ultimate Guide to be extremely helpful and inclusive. It really related to lesbians and single mothers in a solid way that I enjoyed. Plus, it was TONS Of good information. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteWe ordered the book yesterday! It should be here before we know it...I am excited after the reviews I've seen!
