Welcome Lacey and Jessica.

I don't have any advice to offer, just wanted to say hi.

My partner and I have been ttc since June last year. We've had five home insemination attempts now with a known donor. Hopefully the next will be the one (maybe April)

I think it's really important for Jessica to feel involved right from the start of your discussions about conceiving. She needs to know that you are equal partners in the journey of becoming and being parents.

Maybe find a way for you both to spend the first few weeks together as a family so that Jessica can also bond immediately with your new baby.

Good luck to you both.

Yeah, she will be helping with the insemination, going to all the doctor appointments, she is also helping pick out the gear and other things so it's not just me doing it (plus... she's picky about what colors and patterns she wants, lol) and she will cut the cord and be the first to hold it. I think once we are actually pregnant she will feel better about everything. Thank you very much for your advice =D
