So today was our second insemination try. Everything went really well. The longest part of the whole thing was waiting for the sperm to thaw int he incubator. From there, we went into the room and I laid down with my beautiful wife beside me. The really nice nurse that has helped us the last few times we have been there came in and asked to us to verify the donor's number (1982-for the year I was born) and to sign the insemination consent form. After that, I laid back down and she got to work. The last time we did this the nurse could not position my cervix correctly in order to put the catheter in, and that made for a very uncomfortable time, and she struggled. This time, our nurse was great and got it on the first try. The whole thing took about 5 minutes, but there was some pressure and a little pain associated with it. The catheter is the worst part, and it feels like an intense period cramp. Luckily it was over quickly and then I got to chill for about 15 minutes while my wife made me laugh. She took some silly pictures of us which are not at all flattering, but it made the whole situation pretty enjoyable. I love her more than words can say. So the rest of the day my task is to relax and take it easy, as I still have some light cramping. My mission these next two weeks are to treat my body as if I was pregnant by eating healthy and resting a lot. If only I didn't work retail and had to stand all day... Oh well.
Updates to come!
