My Brain is Melting

So after much conversing with our donors and amending our contract we finally reached a reasonable conclusion about everything and decided to go forward with our new KD who lives MUCH closer to us. I mean.. not extremely close, but we can drive there in less than 2 hours. We figured Jamie would ovulate either early next week or Sunday so we would go down to our donor then and do our insem as quickly as we could and head back up home afterwards, BUT as luck would have it things went differently. Saturday morning I couldn't get her to POAS fast enough. She had used the potty earlier that morning so we had our morning coffee and caught up on some shows. Jamie still wanted to wait a bit because she really didn't have to use the bathroom when I told her to, but I was insistent so we went ahead and did it. I was in the office, on the other side of the house, when I heard her yelling from the bathroom and I knew she got a smiley face. I immediately texted our donor and made arrangements to stay in Chattanooga Saturday night so we could insem Saturday evening and Sunday morning, which is exactly what we did. I don't think our timing could have been any more perfect. Absolutely great timing and we had the freshest of fresh swimmers for this try. I mean it really can't get any better for us.

As if that doesn't sound great enough...it gets even better. If this try works the due date will be in early November which will be right around Jamie's grandmother's birthday. We also would find out the sex not terribly long after my birthday and it would have a two month old cousin to be bestest friends with! Now here comes the shocker and is what I'm definitely taking as a sign that our stars are aligning and the universe is about to throw a bunch of good karma our way. My mom and dad met up with Jamie and I on Sunday for a lunch/snack. My parents have been very opposed to me being gay and have NEVER met a significant other of mine. But I still contacted my mother and let her know we would be in town and, surprisingly enough, she agreed to meet with us. We had some food and talked for two hours about work and school and this and that. None of it seemed forced and my mom directly addressed Jamie, as did my dad, and told her it was nice to meet her and everything. Hopefully this is the beginning of something good to come.

SO we are set to test around the 27th of this month and hopefully we will see two big, pink lines on that little stick and we can start getting ready for our little miracle :)
