Almost a Year Later

Wow. It's almost been a year...which means that if all went well, which I hope did, there is a baby or a couple of babies (depending on how many eggs took) out there from my eggs!! Shall I expect a knock on my door in 18 years from someone claiming to be my offspring? I really would like to see that movie, "The Kids Are Alright." I know it's about a sperm donor, but I think I might be able to relate.

The pain and discomfort is a distant memory - I remember it being awful, but I don't REALLY remember - I don't know if that makes sense. I suppose this is the sort of thing that makes mothers give birth again and again to babies...except they have it like a million times worse. If you asked if I'd do it again today, I'd say, "Hmmm, umm...no." If you asked me again in a couple of years, who knows? I sure like not having to inject myself in the belly every night though.

I hear IVF ads all the time on the radio and I chuckle to myself before changing the station. I hope there's a baby out there!! Or babies!!
