I think
perhaps I am spending a little too much time living breathing eating my egg
donor / surrogacy program. I work late every night and this morning I got up at
4:30am to do some more work. Because I
wanted to! Because I love this shit!
Unfortunately Adam got up at 5:30am so that was the end of that, but luckily we got some one-on-one cuddling time together before the Boss (aka Kate Madam Fifi Albertyn) woke up.
However
the real sign that perhaps I am spending a tad too much time on this
infertility stuff is that last night I dreamt that the doctors had
discovered a way to incubate embryos in an orange. Yes, the fruit. They injected an orange with 7 embryos and
four ‘took’. There was a woman was
standing there with four kids. All
gestated through an orange. The piece
about how the orange actually carried four babies was not covered in any amount
of detail.
I think I need help.
we'd know if you were spending too much time doing IF stuff if you said that they "implanted" seven embryos and four took. that would be a severe sign of off-your-rocker-itis.
you're just, peachy?

LOL! I can sooo relate to the strange dream bit. I always know when I have been studying too hard or am way too involved in a project at work, because I start to have these hectic, convoluted dreams about the studying / project matter. The dreams are always really weird and I wake up exhausted because it feels as though I have been working all night. The only good thing about it is that it is a sign that I have actually got off my lazy ass and become truly engaged with something.

As someone who has dealt with infertility (and is now "missing" a uterus due to the big "C"), I think the work you do is absolutely amazing. I love reading about all of the things you do, and about the kiddos, as well.
Cheers to you from the U.S!

If they ever figure out how to grow babies in an orange, I'd be all over that. Sign me up!
