Needs

After the small bump I decided we needed to have some together time with DtD and BF to bring the human touch back into the situation. I called him and left a message saying that we needed to hang out and could they go to dinner. M. had the brilliant and thoughtful idea to let them pick the spot because we'd picked last time.

We had the best time. We told stories. We laughed. Everyone was at ease. Finally.

Project Baby has been the elephant in the room whenever we get together: the THING that no one talks about. For the first time we managed to talk about it like it was normal. We got a lesson about the different levels of circumcision. DtD even offered some ideas on the equipment needed for insemination and offered to procure. We went over schedules. Amazingly enough, both he and I aren't working most of our target insemination week. And I know everyone has been holding their breath about this one: NO LUBE NEEDED.

Everything is really, really okay. M. has declared that she loves those boys. We know that DtD is going to be able to do what he's agreed to do. Everything was fantastically perfect. The contract will be signed later this week. All my fears about them backing out have washed away. The only possible delay will be getting the test results back.

We are back to being MADLY in love.

Does anyone know how long test results take to come back? We asked him to do HIV and other STDs and CMV.

I don't have the answers to your question, but I wanted to send along a big, fat sigh of relief. So glad to hear that things have been ironed out & that you & the guys had what sounds like a lovely dinner.

Boricua College Boy's tests took a week. He went to a *gulp* teen health clinic.

We skipped the SA for now because the odds of an adolescent male with a low sperm count. We'll re think that after a couple of more BFNs

I've been following your story and I'm glad you four were able to connect this weekend. I don't know how long the tests will take, but good luck on getting them back in time for your insemination

I am so glad that things are better. Wow, a lot happened when I was awol over the weekend...

If DtD or BF ever want to communicate with our donor I know Nyles would be very open to that. Just let me know.

We also skipped the semen analysis because the hassle of getting one in Utah was a PIA. After 5 months we decided that maybe he should get one and actually called and made an appointment and drove him up there and was turned away. We were in the process of getting our doctor to chew some heads off when we got our positive and the whole thing was moot.
