Happy Easter! This could be the week of try #2. Joy has an US on Thursday to determine where she is and when to give the trigger shot. Again, we have to choose another donor. This will be donor #4 for us...2 different ones when I was TTC and now 2 with the surro. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad? Maybe we haven't made it to the right donor yet and that is why we have to keep trying? Shorty has been searching through donors and has found one that was described as having "a strong chin". I'm pretty sure we have mentioned before that one of the biggest things we want our donor/baby to have...is a chin! lol So the donor with the strong chin is a strong candidate. I also like what he has to say, he is tenacious, daring, and adventurous, all the things we hope our child(ren) will possess. I couldn't help myself giving him a nickname-Guido. He's irish and italian....it was either Guido or O'shanahan...so i went with Guido! lol More to come this week once we know how the follicles look and when the trigger shot will be. It is possible that this month both Shorty and I will get to be there for the IUI! Fertility gods do your thing! Baby dust, thoughts, prayers, whatever works for you and will work for us!! :-)

The bitch arrived

Ok so the bitch arrived today which means joy is officially not pregnant this cycle. Honestly...I kind of don't feel anything. I am used to the negative test so it just feels like just another day...school, work, not pregnant. So two weeks, again. We will try try again until we decide it just isn't meant to happen and we adopt. I have faith that we will get pregnant, hopefully sooner than later, but I think it will happen.

not today...

Maybe we were early, maybe it really didn't take...but the HPT was negative :-( We are going to test again on Saturday since it will be officially 2 weeks. If it's still negative...then try try again next month!

Isn't it Tuesday yet???

I seriously hate the 2week wait aka 2ww in the trying to conceive (ttc) world! technically, we could have possibly tested today but we are only 8 days past ovulation so our accuracy is only like 68%. Waiting until Tuesday gives us virtually 100% accurate HPT results. I have two finals on Tuesday and Joy has finals on Tuesday too so we decided to test Tuesday afternoon. Not sure if we will be more or less focused! But the extreme emotions associated with finding out, good or bad, could be bad for our test taking skills lol. I haven't been this excited for a date since the first date with Shorty :-) I am actually at the point of counting the hours now! lol realistically...we are just over 48 hours away from 1 of 2 things: another 2ww or the greatest joy and excitement Shorty and I have ever felt, hoping for the latter of course!

So if you read my wifes post you will know that she set me up pretty good. She says she likes to put me in uncomfortable situations because I don't embarrass easily. Well yesterday I did, it felt like I was cheating on my wife because as Kandi said either spouse wasn't there. But Joy and I joked our way through it and were really excited. Now the 2 week process begins. I am hopefull we will get a positive and then it will be 7 weeks until we can hear our baby and then all the other things leading up to meeting our little one in 9 months.I have included the Follicle picture and added some caption "This could be our baby. GO TONY find out in 2 weeks" Cher I hope you set your calender 2 weeks we find out lol. I am over the moon I can't believe in 2 weeks our lives could forever change and that excites me more than anything in the world. I can't wait to be a mom I just love kids and I can't wait to have one that both Kandi and I can mold into an amazing person. I know when it's right and if it's meant to be it will happen. I just can't believe it has been so hard for us because we both have so much love to give to a child. Like I said when it's time it will happen and I feel that things are happening now. So 2weeks from now you will be getting an update. Stay tuned everyone and thanks for following our blog.

My wife tried to knock up another woman today....

and I'm totally fine with it!!! hahahahha Today Shorty got to go to the insemination of our surrogate! Shorty had Joy and the nurse laughing hysterically, as usual. Shorty is mad at me, however, because I didn't tell her that Layla would be taking the kids to swimming while she and Joy went to the doctor to try to make a baby. So she called me after Tony was on board and in search of the almighty egg. She said, "I totally felt like I was cheating on you! Her wife had the kids at swimming, my wife was at work, and here we are together trying to make a baby!" lmao she is hilarious! Ok baby dust our way please!! Out of the 20-50 million sperm that are now swimming for survival...there has to be one, just one, that is attracted to that egg!!! Go boys go! Swim like you stole it!! haha And now...we wait. waa...waa...waa... The dreaded life in 2 week segments has officially begun but lets hope this is our only 2 week wait and our next wait is a 36 week wait!! :-)

Its here. ..

*singing* tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're only a day away! That's right. .. tomorrow is IUI try #1! Fingers and toes crossed and baby dust our way please! !
