It's been a while

I has been quite a while since I posted and I am going to try and do a better job at it. I could try to recap an entire year, but I am not going to. Instead, I am going to just start from the here and now.

On my mind tonight...donor selection. That's right, it is time for me to make some final decisions about my sperm donor selection. What's that? You didn't know I was headed on this road? Well, it is true. I am on the road to SMBC (single mom by choice/circumstance). I have thought about this for a very long time and now that I am officially 36 (yep, just celebrated the big 3-6 yesterday) I figure that my time is running down if I am ever going to have a child of my own.

So, back to donor selection. It is not an easy choice. It isn't like going to a grocery store and just pulling the first loaf of bread off the shelf. There are so many things to consider. Just some of the things I've been looking at include: height, weight, ethnicity, blood type, body build, ears: attatched or not, previous medical history of donor and family, hobbies/talents/interests, whether they want to meet my kid or not, education, number of pregnancies with the donor already and their reasons for donation. All this before I ever order the long form on any one donor that shows more detail about them. Goodness, I didn't research any guy I've dated this well. But they are all important because if I just choose at random then I feel like I am already not making good choices for my potential child.

So here I am sifting through donor lists trying to complete my application. So much to think about before I complete it. For now, I think I am going to narrow it down to 3 donors and sleep on it. I'll let you know who the big winner is.
