Well, we did it.

This weekend we told both my sister and my mom we are TTC. Both took it quite well (a little confusion about logistics at first), but my mom took it amazingly well. She is so very excited. She is already thinking of ideas for a shower and looking forward to babysitting. I informed her that we are not pregnant YET, and to not put the cart before the horse. She's pretty confident that it will happen very soon. Let's hope that mother knows best!

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at our friends' commitment ceremony (which my mother performed). At the reception we were seated at one of the 2 "softball" tables. What fun gals! We met a couple sets of lesbian moms and it made us realize that we need more lesbian friends. Our friend who got married is a friend from way back (she and her then gf were the ones who conspired to get B and I together) and other than her, we have one or two lesbian friends-and only one that we hang out with on a "regular" basis. It was really nice to sit and talk with people who are like you. I gave one of them my email address to exchange pictures, so hopefully we can get to know them more. Too bad B and I lack any sort of athletic skill, or we could join some sports team and have lots of lesbian friends! The couples at our table had been together 14, 18, and 22 years! Amazing!

Oh, and in my dream last night, someone asked when I was due, and I said August. the only signifigance this has, in my opinion, is our first cycle we ever tried would have had us due in August and one online friend who tried at the same time as us got pregnant, so she is due in August (I was reading her post before bed). So Dana, I'm guessing Lilian will be born on August 10th, since that was the date that came to me in my dream!
