Who are we, you ask?

Well, hello again! Glad you've come back. I guess now is a great moment to introduce ourselves.

I am embarking on this journey with my love, my wife, my partner of eight years. I'll call her A, even though I doubt that anyone that knows us will find this blog. She is my favorite person in the world. She is the person I can go to and look to for support, for a laugh, for a shoulder to cry on, and for a kick in the butt when I feel like the world hates me. We met over eight years ago, back in the prehistoric times when meeting someone online in a chat room was creepy. It was fate for us to meet, and I fell instantly. There was something different about her, and our connection was undeniable. We've been inseparable since then.

We both come from pretty conservative, Catholic, Mexican families. Her family is huge, with lots of people everywhere, and little to no privacy. I love them though, and after they realized I wasn't going anywhere, they embraced me and welcomed me. My family is a bit smaller. We are close, and far at the same time. My family was also apprehensive of my relationship with A, but after seeing how amazing she is, they have come to love her almost as much as I do.

Its not a fairy tale. We have learned throughout the years, that relationships are hard work. Its a lot of compromises, a lot of picking and choosing your battles, and alot of self reflection. We have grown alot. We moved in together months after meeting, living off of ramen noodles, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and puppy love. Three years ago, we realized that we had changed. Our relationship went through a month that was touch and go, but our love was stronger than either of us even realized and we bounced back stronger and closer than ever.

We have now come to the point in our lives, when (this is going to be super cheesy, so brace yourself) our love for each other is so much and so overflowing that we need another person to pick up the slack. A little one to make us complete. We're ready.

And in more relevant PB (pre baby) news:
I got my period! This might be the last period that I "want" :) Hopefully. So here's where we are now:

I have an appointment on Wednesday. I will be going in for and ultrasound, FDA with CMV, and a counsil with fragile X testing. If you are lost in the doctor jargon, we are in the boat together.

 I have to be honest, speaking to the doctor and the nurse is a little intimidating. Don't get me wrong, they are very nice and have not made me feel uncomfortable at all. That was actually one of our concerns being a lesbian couple. We were bracing ourselves for a wierd look, or a dismissing comment, but lucky for us none of that happened.

I will keep yall posted on how everything goes on Wednesday. Wish me luck! :)
