It's been about a year that I've been logging and tracking everything (minus a month or so that I was too depressed about not being able to start when we wanted to). I finally have a doctor, and my first checkup is on August 6th.

My preschooler started school this week (today is her 3rd day) and she's adjusted enough that she didn't even need me to walk her in today. I'm finally active again, eating healthier again, and my almost-10-year-old is finally starting to prove her trustworthiness.

And, I'm expected to ovulate on the 24th -- which means that, as long as the estimate isn't off by more than a couple days, either my wife or our donor will be off when it's time.

Y'all, my patience has finally paid off -- it's finally time to start!! Wish us luck!!
