Babies, Babies everywhere!

Jess and I finally had a day off together to spend with each other. We ran some errands and did some shopping. It seemed like everywhere we looked there were babies, or women who were expecting. I had never noticed this before Jess and I seriously started the whole TTC thing. Now every time I turn my head there is a baby or a mother who is absolutely glowing. So I have been feeling extremely over-whelmed with family issues (My grandmother,who raised me, is very sick and still the strongest women I know at 82, however its becoming very apparent that she is going downhill very quickly and its not a reality I can face yet.) and Jess being the amazing wife that she is has been so supportive of me. I have been having anxiety attacks and depression and the littlest thing makes me cry. I dont know what I would do without her. Just another example of how perfect she is for me. So we have decided to try and do our first insemination in August. Thats just a estimate or a goal that we set for ourselves. We have to save up and do more research and all but we set the goal and we are going to try and keep it. We are so excited about the whole idea. We have already came up with the name if it is a girl...Kyleigh Frances (Frances after both of our grandmothers) and if its a boy...well we have no idea. LOL. We will get there. We further our research and went to the local library and found several books on the childs point of view of being raised by gay parents and so on. We are both reading these just to help us learn how to prepare our child with the reality that wasnt their choice. We are so excited about bringing a baby into our home but saddened that the world isnt as accepting as they should be. Its hard for us to understand why people care so much who you date. Why cant LOVE just be LOVE? We are going to teach our son or daughter that Love is just that and it doesnt matter who you love as long as they treat you well and youre happy. Thats all that should matter in our eyes, but what do we know we are just two girls who are in LOVE. We are nervous about bringing a child into a political war when we ourselves are not political but we are doing plenty of research on our rights as mothers and as a gay couple.
