Now that all of the parents know (whew!), we'd love to give you the FAQ answers -we know a lot of you are wondering. Just like we were the first time we met two-mom families.
Q. How, um, exactly?
A. We used a healthy, unknown donor through a very reputable cryobank. In answer to the question "Who's the father?", you can say, "There isn't one - there's a donor. There are two moms." (who are SO EXCITED!)
Q. Was this your first try?
A. No. Our sixth, actually, and our second donor. This was, of course, the try that we weren't expecting to succeed. Isn't that always the way?
Q. What do you want to be called by the Bean?
A. Eliza wants to be "Mummy" and Marcey wants to be "Mommy".
Q. Will you find out if Bean's a boy or girl?
A. Not if we can help it - we want to be surprised!
Q. Picked out any names?
A. Hepzibah if it's a girl, Obediah if it's a boy. We're oh-so-Old Testament these days, it's all the rage.
Q. Are you ok with pink and blue?
A. We prefer bright, fun, gender-free colors...if you can find them! Bean's room is primary colors with cartoon animals all over. It's fun.
We know we're sailing new waters for some...ourselves included, but we know it's going to be a fabulous sail!
Thanks for all of the elation, it makes it feel more real.
