Baby Update
As a side story in my memoir, My Lost Summer, my dad’s cows deliver their calves that summer. Dad didn’t have a bull, so the cows got pregnant through insemination. The word “insemination” is icky to me because of the memory of watching the vet lift the virgin cows’ tails to plant the seed of the unseen bull.
Well, Monday I got (I hate to say it) inseminated with Mark’s sperm. At 7:30 a.m. Mark had to go to the fertility clinic at an area hospital to do his thing and collect the sperm. Then the sperm were washed, and Mark went to a local Mercedes dealership and walked around looking at cars. If, in fact, we cannot get pregnant, he wants a Mercedes convertible to replace his 12-year-old Mustang convertible. If we do get pregnant, he’ll have to go for something a bit more practical.
At 9:30 he collected his specimen and met me at my doctor’s office.
He held my hand and reminded me to breath during the procedure, which was pretty painful. A friend of mine from high school who used the same doctor, and who now has a beautiful baby girl, said that she barely felt hers. The doctor ordered her assistant to get a special tool to straighten me out and commented that my piping down there had more exaggerated curves than usual.
So, the deed is done. I will give blood to test for pregnancy June 29. Wish me luck.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you.I know this will happen when you least expect.Don't give up!I had a friend that went threw the same thing.They tried so many times and when they gave up she got pregnant not once but twice.A set of twins boys then after that another boy.They told her she would never get pregnant.They told me that when I was young but I did not give up and I have two children.Doctors can only guess but being stubborn you will win !Keep the faith!
