Any day now, it will be time. We're finally ready to actually start trying to conceive. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous, but I really don't think I am. I am more anxious about dealing with this new chapter in the friendship between us and our donor. It's a very strange thing to ask someone for. It's much more intimate than I ever thought I would be with someone who is not my wife. It's not physical intimacy of course, but it is pretty weird to talk about him giving us his sperm, the sterile cups he will put it in, him abstaining for 48 hours to provide the best donation, that sort of thing. He could not possibly be sweeter about the whole weird thing. He is such a wonderful guy! But it is just the slightest bit weird.
Teal and I are both very excited to get started. Only a few days away now. A few weeks from now, I could potentially be pregnant! I am not thinking it will definitely happen on our first try, though it is possible. It is really exciting to get started though. We have been together 9 years. We have built a wonderful life together and gotten to know each other much more than most people who decide to have children (or have them by accident) ever do. We truly believe we are ready, and we are both very excited for this new part of our lives.
