Perishable.

 

Plus or Minus 24 hours until insemination.

And now, IT sits in our livingroom. A bunch of frozen cells and possibly somewhere in it-half of the genetic code of Dahlia or Iris or Fern or Jack Arthur Hicks or… somebody Hicks. (but please don’t gett attached to these or send your own!)

The pee sticks did not show the Leutinizing Hormone surge today, but we are expecting it tomorrow. In fact the pee stick was faulty this morning and didn’t even register the control line so I called the ClearBlueEasy helpline and got a free box sent to us..heh..heh..heh.

I worried it would be hard to be a life coach in my little office this evening knowing that the sperm was sitting there in the livingroom like an elephant. So though I mostly only have TTC on the brain-somehow I was a good coach today and focused on my clients. Phew. I imagined some strange slip might happen like “Let’s talk about your Sperming Plan. Uh! I mean spending plan!” or say “There is sperm in my livingroom so if this coaching session is unsatisfactory, you can have a re-do when I’m through ovulating.”

Tomorrow is probably a big day and I should really stay home so I have put many books on hold at the library and will pick them up in the morning- to take my mind off of it. It’s very perishable and a zillion things could go wrong, but no pressure!
