Taking deep, cleansing breaths...

So, while the wife may swat me for this one, I feel compelled to share. Tomorrow we go in to the fertility clinic for our next try...you thought the last few were clinical...this one is actually in a clinic. But, this time we have an expert on our side...she's created more babies than a...ok...inappropriate comment ensuing...I'll stop there. We are both positively giddy...we feel good about it. And for those who tell me not to get my hopes up, our thought is that at the very least we feel like we can feel less guilty this time if it doesn't work...we have the expert doing the work.

I was looking back at some of the old posts today...I can't believe that this blog has been going for 10 months. We started out in the research phase, then the "let's screw up my brain with 'safe for baby' epilepsy meds" stage, then the "shopping for dad...we shall call him the marinade" phase, and most recently the "we're trying but don't know what the hell we're doing" stage. Now I suppose we're at the "OK Regis, I think I'll phone a friend" stage (OK...she's not really a friend. But it isn't quite as funny when you say "OK Regis, I'll think I'll phone a Reproductive Endocrinologist"...wait...maybe it is...). It has been quite the trip.

Anyways, veering back onto the main topic from over there on memory lane, I've gotten all my tests done, and all systems are a go. Nothing appears to be broken, damaged or otherwise non-functional. Of course, most days I'm not broken, damaged or non-functional, but sometimes I still don't feel like getting up and going to work. But I'm hoping that since one component only has to show up, and the other component has been chilling in a freezer for a few months, that they'll both feel that tomorrow is their day to shine. And, to keep with my tendency for a bad analogy, the doc can escort the marinade to the table and sit him down, while we could only drop him off at the corner and hoped he found his way. Now, all they have to do is hit it off! I've never been so excited about a blind date!

Wish us luck!!
