Aloha! (and awesome IF related moment)

NMscubagirl · March 2011

Just wanted to jump on and say aloha from Maui! I had a super fruity drink with an umbrella dedicated to you all!

I just had to share an amazing IF related moment that happened just a few hours ago. As we were diving I spotted an amazingly rare sight. Two frog fish were hanging out on the rail of a sunken ship literally holding fins. The dive master came and explained on an underwater slate that it was a male and a female and the female was soooo full that she was ready to burst with eggs. I immediately thought OHSS!! No kidding! The male was there to help her and then to fertilize the eggs once they were released. The dive master said that she would release within hours.

DH and I looked at each other and I actually started crying underwater!! He knew exactly why. To me it felt like a moment that we were meant to witness. I felt so close to that fish, because that is how DH and I are going to make babies. Get me so full of eggs that I am going to nearly explode and then have DH there to hold my hand and to fertilize (with a bit of help from the lab of course).

I may be crazy, but that once in a lifetime moment really felt like a sign saying that everything is going to be OK, even though this isn't happening the way I thought it would.
