After several years of attempting immaculate conception we switched to copulation, and much to our delight, it works! Hubby and I had heard of immaculate conception growing up and figured it was at least worth a try. Said Hubby, "On our wedding night we decided to give immaculate conception a shot. You have no idea how many nights I've spent wide awake staring at my wife wondering if it was working. The stress was immense."
A few months ago we figured maybe immaculate conception worked for some, just not for us, so we switched techniques. We spent several weeks researching various methods to become pregnant and finally settled on copulation.
Hubby was relieved, "Who knew?" An added plus, he "could finally get a good night's sleep."
We trust the OB that at the bottom of my uterus is a 5.09 cm munch-kin with a normal heartbeat. At 5.09 cm, it's no wonder the baby is attached to my uterus, otherwise I feel certain I would misplace such a tiny baby. We had difficulty interpreting the sonogram at first, but with a little concentration, we figured it out! We won't know the sex of the baby until late January, fortunately, team affiliation develops early in the first trimester.
No need to worry about birthday presents for Hubby or I in 2009, this baby is projected to make land fall 8 June.To answer potential questions...
1) Yes we will find out the sex.
2) No we don't have names, Hubby refuses to expend energy wrestling over names for both sexes when chances are the baby will be one or the other.
3) No morning sickness for me! Morning bloating that sends me looking for my best sweats.
4) Of course I was joking about not needing birthday gifts, my birthday is 10 June and Hubby's is 18 June.
We are very excited and look forward to keeping you posted along the way.
From last blog's poll, I'm not alone in believing "When Harry Met Sally" is the best all time romantic comedy, coming with 55% of the votes. "The Princess Bride", "Sleepless in Seattle", and "Can't Buy Me Love" also received votes, but not many.
This blog, I'll keep with the baby theme...

Great that you have finally come out of the closet on this one.
GJ436b?? Is that a plasmid that somehow got involved in this transfer of genetic information?

Congratulations!

Yippee! Congrats on writing a brilliant blog (oh and on the whole baby thing)! And Auntie Boo says who cares if it is a boy or a girl as long as it gets along with the dogs, right? (Oh and that's it healthy.)
OMG is THAT why I never got pregnant? Copulation, you say? Hmmmm. No. I think we'll stick with abstinence (since we don't really want any aliens of our own) but HOORAY for you!!!! Congrats and all that too!
And don't tell anyone, but we aren't REALLY abstinent; just obstinant.
I am a little slower than most.... just now reading your post. Congrats to you both! I am so happy for you and love your approach to the whole thing! Looking forwards to following this whole event with you on the blog!
Love from Ohio,
