The IUI went fine. My favorite nurse practitioner did the procedure, and the nurse who did the specimen analysis said they were “swimming all over the place.” Now for the waiting.

Meanwhile, meet the key players.

Gone are the days of Joey + Geena. They had their chance, and they blew it. When I announced a few months ago that I was going on a trying-to-conceive break I referred to Ross and Rachel of “WE WERE ON A BREAK!” fame. During the down time I set about choosing a new donor. Among the profiles I received from the bank was a brown-eyed, dark-haired Mediterranean man who, according to the bank director, resembles George Clooney. On “ER” George Clooney played Dr. Ross. Ross! Ross and Rachel! A SIGN!

It’s only fitting, then, that my girls be renamed Rachel. Sorry, Geena.

Note: I do not look ANYTHING like Jennifer Aniston. I don’t look anything like Geena Davis, either. I just appreciate and am entertained by personification. Please play along with my little character fantasy.
