Making A Baby

It's two days before the injection training begins.  My emotions are a bit raw right now.  Maybe it is because it has been a long haul.  Maybe because I am sick and tired of being a single parent.  There were two of us in this equation.  The other has chosen to consume his self-consumption.  But we won't talk about that here or anywhere else.  It is what it is.

There is a world of possibilities out there.  Baby Louise started it all as did the researchers who made it all possible.  People tell me of their successes and I really appreciate hearing about them.

This is a world unfamiliar to me.  Pregnancy was a piece of cake and I am more than lucky and grateful for  my children.  Every day.  Every moment.

But my world is now one of understanding protocols for pregnancy, birth control pill start/stop dates, learning to give injections, a variety of shots, implantation, and a pregnancy test.  Some hormones come pre-mixed, some need to be combined in the injection vial.  No doubt we will learn it all.  No doubt we will be successful.

I am happy and appreciative to be able to be here.  Alongside my child as she begins another journey in her life.  Making a baby.  Who knew. 

Wow.
