2 Months

Has it really been 2 months since I've written anything down?

Let's see...

I am SO ready to be pregnant and have a baby. I think about it each day. I go to work for him/her five days a week. I lay in bed thinking about nursery colors and feeding our baby natural foods.

We are considering a Vitamix. I wonder if we would actually use it. Would it be worth the investment?

We have overhauled our financed. My Wife made a handy dandy excel spreadsheet and color coded different types of spending. She's smart like that. So organized! I think this will help greatly. Our finances are not what they were...I took a pretty good pay cut by going to the hospital full time. But it will be worth it with paid maternity leave, vacation, and insurance benefits.

I mentioned to my mom we're thinking about having kids. She asked if I had gone to the doctor to get everything checked out. I told her I had. She replied with "time will tell". I told her I would need to have a book handy because I didn't know anything about kids. She said she relied on the baby's 1st year book a lot after she had me because so much had changed between my sister being born and me. I told her I wished she lived closer so she could nanny...she said she would just have to nanny from afar. I have been trying to think of a good way to tell them when we're pregnant. My sister sent her an e-card...and got no response. When my sister finally called mom a few days later to ask if she got the e-card. Mom replied with "yes", and left it at that. She was not excited about the situation my sister had put herself in.

I'd like to lose about 5 more lbs before getting pregnant. Hope I can make that happen.

I started taking Barlean's fish oil swirl (mango flavor) this week. I read where it's great for women's hormones and health. Maybe it will help us conceive!!

It's about time to start picking out our donor. We have picked out our sperm bank. I think we're going to each go thru the donors and narrow it down to our top 5, then bring our lists together and go from there.
