A new Outlook...

Howdy folks. Well, in the last few days, the wife has adopted an interesting new outlook on this baby thing. We are both rather frustrated that it hasn't happened yet, we figured having the docs on our side would seal the deal. Well, next week we are in for try #6 (3rd shot for the docs), and we are looking to the future.

So, the wife asks me if I think I need hormones. I don't think so...they tell me every time that my levels are right (when I have to go uptown at 7am on the day of insemination to get blood drawn...that's just mean). However, there are drugs that they can give you to cause more than one egg to drop. This is where you get into a gray area...better chances of the swimmers finding "an" egg...but also the chance that the swimmers will find all of them. I reply no, I don't think we need hormones, I certainly don't want to have quadruplets on our hands. Turns out this was the lead-in so she can introduce her new outlook.

So, if you'll remember correctly, the wife has stated numerous times that in the case of multiples, she'll pick the cutest two and give the rest away. However, now that there appears to be a potential opening in the "holy crap that's a big family" tv genre, she has decided we have an upside. She is calling it "J & K plus 8". I don't know that I'm a fan.

She figures that it'll be the same chaotic, "whole buncha kids screaming" show, but with the "lesbian mom" twist. Bravo will love it - they sorely miss Queer Eye for the Straight Guy...we're just the thing to rocket them back up to the top of the highly sought-after 30-something gay demographic (that .3% of the population is quite a catch!).

I guess that this new outlook is a step up from the plan of giving away babies, but I'm fairly certain my preference is still going to be to only have one. She sat on the couch last night listing off the benefits of the "+8" with a TV show. Free tummy tuck, $75,000 an episode, a $1.2 mil house, free hair plugs, free vacations, ... what? ... hair plugs? Who around here needs hair plugs?

The wife says "we don't turn down free stuff". Now I know she's lost her mind...
