Excited but Nervous

Yesterday my wife and I had a very important appointment with the Fertility Doctor.
We are in THE PROCESS of trying to have a baby! Its kinda cool being gay and getting to pick and choose donors, qualities, dates we want the baby born and such.

So we met with this new Doctor to see if we like her and check out the facility so we can start THE PROCESS. I am super excited but also very nervous. I get nervous because queer families, same-sex families get a bit of flack because people are not used to seeing it. That goes for Doctors as well. When we called the facility they automatically assume my wife was hetero and asked how long we have been trying. She laughed and said trust me lady we have been trying, It aint gonna happen!

I always get nervous because I am butch and obviously gay as my mom puts it and well my wife just looks like a woman and her gayness does not scream out. (this annoys her sometimes) Apparently, as soon as I step out side people can just "tell " I'm a dyke Well everyone except for my friend Norma Jean knew.

I don't get upset if people mistake me for a dude and it only bothers me sometimes when i am referred to as a female pronoun. I cant stand Ma'am ugg.. but at a Doctors office i expect them to be professional and sensitive to the clients/patients they have. This place had written on the paperwork and underlines several times FEMALE PARTNER.

The Doctor we met with was nice she reminded me of DR. Bailey from Greys anatomy the way she spoke. She all kinds of accolades from Duke University The office staff was great, nice and friendly and they explained everything to us.
The office was nicely decorated and very clean and very boutique like.

Now my poor wife has to have a whole sleuth of tests during her cycle. Poor thing! I guess this is one tome well one of the times that she and I will be so happy she has her period!

Ahh Baby making!
