Preparations

We've been preparing. Over six weeks ago I started the prenatal vitamin regime and going to acupuncture once a week. I've been testing and charting like a mad woman. We've gone through the lengthy process of choosing and ordering the swimmers. We've asked a million and one questions of our dear friends who had twin boys in January after four rounds of IUI. And the scary part is no matter how much we prepare and even if all the stars are in perfect alignment, the conception rates are still no better than a roll of the dice. So, in all my hopes and excitement I find a hint of cynicism...and we have only just begun.

Thanks for sharing your site with us. Of course I hope to hear first hand of how this all develops and looking forward to meeting the potential Sweepy-D. You will have to explain that one over dinner one night. Dana, as LKC goes through all her hormonal changes, a paddling (or backpacking) trip may be in order. Remember we got your back! Let Bruce and I know if there is anything at all that we can do. Best of luck! Allison
