Fast Forward Introduction

Well this blog certainly hasn't started the way we thought it would. The blog was started over a month ago, but never posted on as life got in the way. So here's our fast forward introduction.


A few basics about us:

• Aiden (23) and Elizabeth (30) happily together for five years
• Reside in Metro St. Louis
• Aiden grooms dogs and nannies for a family with four children
• Elizabeth is a charge nurse at a local emergency room
• Parents to four furry kids (three dogs, one cat)
• Rascal- Old gentle Rottweiler/Blue tick hound mix
• Luna- Crazy squirrel chasing Shepard/Lab mix
• Frankenstein- One eyed chug who is convinced he is human
• Iris- Tiny black kitty with her own set of rules
• We are using anonymous donor sperm from a sperm bank
• Aiden is the "seahorse" and Elizabeth is the "sperm fairy"
• We love art, museums, and road trips

On Sunday December 19, 2010, we did an at home insemination with two vials of frozen donor sperm. If this works, we will not be finding out the sex of the baby.  We are hoping this will help everyone enjoy the journey and not focus on the details. Besides it's just more fun this way. We are now 7 dpi and trying hard not to focus on any symptoms whether real or imaginary. January 1, 2011 will be the test day. Here's hoping that 01-01-11 will be a change in a great way.
