So, I guess I should've wrote more in the last post, but I really couldn't think of anything. We seriously go to bed at like 10pm every night and we were putting the finishing touches on it at 11:30pm. Brain dead time. That's why the description was a little weird with the 'us being together 3 Tuesdays'. It's been roughly 6 years. We wanted to make this blog to post pix of ultrasounds and other things that we feel like showing you guys. Especially for people who don't live close to us...wait that's pretty much everyone, since we live out in the boonies! :P
To answer some of the questions from FB... Sheila is going to carry the child. We're not currently pregnant because she's still gotta go to the OB/GYN and make sure everything is good in the woman department. We basically already know she is, but we just want to know for sure and find out when her ovulation schedule is etc. We are hoping to start trying to conceive around June or July and hopefully be successful by September. We say Sept only because then that'll still be a June baby and there's no major holidays remotely close so, the child won't have to feel like they've been jyped when they start to figure out holidays, birthdays and presents. That'll also give us some time to save up incase our at home with a known donor plan doesn't work out and we need doctor assistance with semen from the cryo bank which costs $1400 for 2 vials. If that doesn't take we have to shell out over and over and over.. Yikes! right? Unfortunately, adoption isn't an option since it's illegal.
So onto the hunt for a donor... I have a gay friend who I'm going to ask. The only problem with that is, I don't want it to be awkward after if he thinks I'm a freak for asking. He jokes around and asks if we're pregnant yet and I just say not until someone gives a cup of man juice. Sheila and I also came up with a plan that if they want to have a kid that I'll carry it for them. It's only fair. If he does say yes, then it's also the awkwardness of having him make sure he has no STD's and that his lil swimmers have what it takes to actually get the job done. I know he's most likely clean, but not sure his partner has kept him that way. We're going to ask some other people whom are married as a back-up, but there's just the whole fear of awkwardness after the question is asked. Hopefully that all goes well or we'll have to start taking donations of either money or sperm. Then after all that, there's the legalities of everything and making sure they won't fight for parental rights and we won't go after them for child support, etc. What a headache! Why couldn't we just some how be blessed with an 'accident' like most families get? Haha
That's about it for now. If any other questions come about, ask in the comments section and we can answer that way, so everyone can see and we don't have to answer repeat questions. :) We'll also put our name at the bottom who posted, since it could be either one of us or both at the same time. o0o special.

Good luck guys! :)
