Thursday Thirteen #14


One bit of good news has come out of our on again / off again insemination plans for this cycle.

The first winner of the You Can Be Shrike & Whozat's Baby-Daddy Monthly Sweepstakes is . . .

(drrrrum rrrroll)

"BowTie" - our first-choice donor!

His "gentleman callers" are FedExing their way to us as we speak. If we're not able to inseminate this month (because I ovulate while Dr. B is away) we'll send them back to the freezer and get them back next month.

So, in honor of that, and since I know you're all dying to learn more . . .

  4. Thanks! We actually do know a good bit about him, and the other finalists.

    We got a bit of information for free, from the cryobank's website, and then a ton of information on the complete profile that we paid for.

    I like that they include stuff that's totally irrelevant, genetically speaking, like favorite color or favorite movie, because those are the kinds of tidbits that I think will be neat to share with the kid, over the years.
