Sperm!

I have never been so happy to have vials of sperm waiting for us. I told my parents about the prices at CCB going up and how I really didn't want to wait until the new year to purchase. So they purchased it for us!! I was shocked!!! I know a lot of it has to do with my mom who was recently diagnosed with cirrhosis. She always said she wanted to be there for me when I got pregnant and had a baby! They are as eager as I am. Her stories of using a turkey baster to get me pregnant will soon be a reality!

I haven't told my wife yet. My plan is to surprise her on christmas with a copy of the purchase and a baby themed christmas ornament wrapped up! My thought is that she will be surprised and a little nervous. Talking about the sperm is one thing, having the sperm in storage is another!

Yay!!! What a Christmas present!!!

  • Very exciting, but that fact that your mom purchased it for you is making me chuckle a little.  Hopefully it works and you'll have a great story when your child says "where did I come from?" ;-)

  • Yes, it is 2True! Whenever our child ask that question, the response will be "From a bunch of people that love you and knew you would be everything and more!."

  • That is wonderful! I owed my aunt $25 and when I went to give it to her she told me to buy a couple sperm with it ;) My family is weird.
