Project Baby in full Force

The wife had her surgery 6 days ago. She is doing well, sleeping a lot. I am not sure if she is generally tired or if it is pain med induced, either way she had a pretty invasive surgery.

We see the Fertility Dr on the 27th two days after my Birthday. If everything is healing well and the Wife's recovery is on point then The PROJECT BABY is well on its way.

While she was laid up we watched a ton of movies, THANK GOODNESS FOR NETFLIX! We watched two movies that were really great and also gave us some insight to our process. "Making Grace" is wonderful Movie about a Lesbian couple who is on the path to having a baby. It was wonderful watching knowing that our thoughts and freak outs and concerns are some of the same and/or similar to other people in this process. ( Tammy Stoner if you are reading this you need to thwart your talents this way and make an updated version with more people and diversity you can call it Project Baby !)
The next movie we watched lead me down a path I am still unsure about. The wife wants a home birth or natural birth. I love the concept of it but with the medical background I have it scares me. We watched The Rikki Lake film "Business of Being Born" and it was astounding! Once we are in the swing of things I am sure there will be a blog about Home birth vs. Hospital. I'm really torn and if you watch teh movie you see the irony with Abby.

I am lil bummed because there are not many books on lesbians and conceiving and moreover there are not book on butch women and babies and I have found tons of fertility sites but nothing geared at Lesbian women and certainly nothing geared to even straight men let alone Butch women. I am so the talker and question asker- I need a group of like people to connect to. I talk to my wife but its even a dynamic that she may not understand.

Well I suppose now that PROJECT BABY is in full effect things are going to come outta the woodwork and issues and ill preparedness and questions and all sorts of EXCITING Things!

Really this baby making stuff is all that is on my mind... I'm kinda obsessed and I am not even the one who is getting pregnant !
