2013

I had originally mentioned beginning TTC in 2014.  I think that may no longer be the case.  Pru is pretty certain she'll be done with graduate school by 2012 and we want to get married in the fall of that year as well.  Since my last blog post, we've talked a LOT more about starting a family and it would seem both of us are in favor of starting sooner, rather than later.  So hopefully we're looking at a 2013 start to our 'project'!  Its only a year difference, but thats a heck of a lot of time for my biological clock! The plan is still the same as far as IVF and we know money will be...an issue.  But we also figure there's ultimately no price too high to pay for a family, right? This is very exciting news, indeed.

Project Buddha Baby

This is a blog that I'm starting in (very) early anticipation of starting a family with my partner, Prudence.  She's 100% Korean and had these adorable chubby cheeks as a child, which earned her the nickname "Buddha Baby."  We want half-Korean kiddos, so we're hoping to eventually get our very own chubby-cheeked "Buddha Babies"!!!

Perhaps it seems insensitive and a little strange to refer to this journey as a "project" but seeing how we're lesbians who want to have assisted IVF (her egg, my bro's sperm, my uterus) I can't imagine it being anything less than a project!

Here's to a fun, exciting, overwhelming, and (hopefully) short journey to Mommyhood!

(and here's the perfect onesie for our future children:)
