Ok so I was just watching Oprah which I almost never do but it was on and sounded interesting. There was a woman on there who was single and wanted to have a baby and decided to be a single mother. It said she used donor sperm but not whether it was invitro or AI. She had QUADRUPLETS!!!!!!!! Oh my God, I would freak. Part of the reason for her being on the show was that she had decided to keep all of them and her family didn't think that she should, they thought that she should give 2 of them up. I felt really bad for her but Yikes, 4 babies. That's like being at work all the time for me. I want a baby (so bad it hurts) and would even be thrilled (scared too) with twins but 4????????? Ok, so please don't let that happen to me.
On other topics, I bought the second CBFM the other day, and the next day the first one started working again. I lost a whole day of my cycle on it and it doesn't ask for a stick now until about 5pm instead of 3 but it's working. Of course the seller keeps e-mailing me and telling me to call the company but of course hasn't offered to refund my money. But it could keep working. I was thinking that maybe I would list it on e-bay with a full disclosure that it may work but may not and only ask like 10 dollars for it. That way someone won't be out much if it doesn't keep working but they may get an awesome deal.
I finished my Christmas shopping with the exception of one person and feel like I did pretty good so that's a good thing. I also finished making my Christmas cards and so I am trying to get them ready to send out. I am trying to decide if I should let various people (mostly Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins) about my plans to TTC soon before I actually get started or if I should just let them know when I actually get pregnant. I just can't decide. Granted I still haven't told my mom but these are all relatives from my dad's side of the family and since my mom got remarried, I don't think she talks to them very much. I just feel so much like I want to share this journey with people as I am so excited but I am also still pretty sensitive to negativity from others. Oh, on a good note though, I told my friend who is a very strong Christian and who tends to disapprove of many of my choices in life and I had expected to have a negative response to my decision and she seemed to actually take it pretty well. Decisions decisions. Above is a scan of this years Christmas card, consider it a Merry Christmas to all of you who visit my blog.

OMG I watched that Oprah too. The entire time I was thinking what would I do if that where me and thank god that’s not me!!! I did not see the beginning did she do IVF? On the other hand those babies where so so cute! I wanted to hold and kiss them :-)
Thank you for the card!! Merry Christmas to you! I would say that if you have particular family members that you are very close to that you talk to frequently, you could tell them. Thing is, if you leave somebody out, they might be hurt you didn't tell them of your plans. It can be nice, though, to share this info with a couple of good friends and a couple of family members. I've found already that there are a couple people that know that I have no intention of telling that AI #1 was a bust and I'm onto AI #2. I mean this could take awhile!! I really don't want to have to check in after every attempt. I don't want to feel obligated to let them know, and it's not all that fun to get the email that asks: "did it work?" Response: "No. Thanks for asking." I recommend the fewer the better when you're AI'ing. But once you're pg (12 weeks) TELL THE WORLD!!!
