Congratulations you three! Soon to be you four, the dieties willing! I have the image of a rollercoaster chair, having just click-click-clicked to the top of the first hump, releasing and whooshing down the first of many hair-raising and dramatic twists and turns. Up go the arms! Yahooie! May you have a swift and successful ride.

Wow…I guess I didn’t know you guys were moving towards another baby!!! That is very exciting news.

Good luck.

Lizzy, I will be sharing the whole roller-coaster. Jill and I discussed it, and I won’t be going into superlative detail on some of the tests and procedures, but everything else is fair game.

I love that both Grandmas read too! And at least 1 Grandpa reads regularly. I think in each household, there’s a regular reading grandparent and an occasional reading grandparent. Plus work people! And yet, here I am posting this stuff anyway. Am I crazy?

I’m a little late with the congrats, but they’re nonetheless heartfelt!
How exciting for you as a family. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for success on the first try.
I’m so interested in all these bits about donors and insemination and the whole bit. I hope you’ll continue to share your journey?
Congrats again to you, Jill, and Noah.
AND BOTH GRANDMAS! (I LOVE that the grandmas read the blog. LOVE!)

Feminist Mafia — sorry I missed your comment, it was lost in unmoderated comment spam until just now.

Not Cali, Fairfax. (Our swimmers were acquired long before Estelle’s family nightmare came to light.) And not a mailing list; they’ll call if more of our guy comes on the market (pun semi-unintended) and we have 48 hours to buy or pass on him and be dropped from the waiting list.

Thanks, Carrie! We’re excited about the bio/baba for both aspect too. It’s also part of why we want to use the same donor. The genetic connection certainly isn’t everything, but we feel like it’s another thread knitting our family together.

Best wishes and blessings on Jill’s ovaries! I love that you’re going for a bio-baba mix for both of you.

Yeah, Estelle, Noah’s Grandmas BOTH read the blog. My mom comments occasionally, Jill’s mom tells us her thoughts on the phone.

I totally get your stress about the same donor issue. We’re lucky enough not to have any serious medical issues so far — I don’t know what we’d do in your shoes. Thanks for the good wishes!

Oh, gosh. Liza, your grandma reads your blog. Or is that your mom? Anyway, whoever it is… wow.
Congrats on new baby almost!
I’m still so torn on having another kid, mostly because we can’t, in good conscience, use the same guy. And I think that’s the crux of all of it. And that sucks.
Wishing you a speedy journey to parenthood of two!

I’m really into this grandma gig, so keep up the good work! Noah and TBD (Aunt Anna aint telling on name possibilities, so for now the soon-to-be-born cousin is To Be Determined) will love having an annoying little sister/brother/cousin to follow them around. I’ll just have fun with all of them.
Love, Grandma
