And then there were two....

well, I have narrowed the profiles down to only two  *whew*  one is pulling on my heart more than the others, but I want to make sure it's not just overall excitement and "attraction" of the donor himself that has me drawn to it. I.E. if this man actually asked me out, I'd be a giddy, bumbling, giggling little girl lol. I have enlisted the help & wisdom of the three most important women in my life, to see what their take on them is.  So, we shall soon know.....

Until next time....

Check 1, 2, 3.....

Is this thing on?

Ok, so I started this blog to help process my thoughts, ideas, fears, and such, for this new adventure that I'm embarking on: motherhood.
I recently made the decision to become a mother through IUI (inter-uterine inception) with an anonymous donor. I've had the initial consultation with my doctor, and now it's just a matter of weeks before the first attempt.  I am both nervous and excited. Not scared at all. 

I have gone through approximately 75 donor profiles with 7 advanced searches. I have come down to 4 that appeared in the majority of the searches. I am now going through these final 4 to see if one jumps at me, or if it has that "feeling" when I read it. 

Then, once I have that decided, I go and finalize the financial stuff. Now, THAT scares me a bit, haha. But, I have to have faith that this is all in God's hands and he will set the timeline. I know what I want and when I want it to happen, and if that falls in to His plan, it will happen. I'm putting in my "pleas" now, ha. 

Until later.....
