Jenn- The entire situation with regards to donors is an interesting one. I think I "get" what you are saying and agree that there really isn't appropriate and discriptive language for it at all. I guess we are just all in a really different situation and all feel differently about it. It is a brave new world full of possibilities, but of course also questions... too bad anyone's government has a dang thing to do with it at all!

Laura and A - We had a GREAT day today, so maybe it was the growth spurt thing yesterday. She is still really hungry today, just not as fussy!

Tasha - It is a long story (maybe I will post it sometime), but we were going to us CCB when we weren't sure if using Greg was really going to be a possibility. We started the process of looking and it was SO WEIRD. Luckily, I had a close friend who was going through the same thing at the time... so I had someone to talk to about it. (Although she is straight, she and her husband discovered that he has a VERY rare genetic condition in which he produces no sperm.)

Care - VERY interesting story... thanks for sharing. Boy, we all have really different paths to our little ones! Glad Harper is doing well in the crib.

Well, my mom arrives for a week tomorrow. She wanted to give us plenty of time as a family before she "swooped" in to help. Apparently, this is something that her mom didn't do and she felt like when her mom left she was just continuing her mom's routine instead of doing what she had learned on her own. Pretty cool for her to be willing to stay away this long... I know it has been killing her... she calls like a million times a day. OY!

I am really looking forward to her visit... I know she will be a big help and she is looking forward to active grandmothering!
