Every since the baby thing started happening I learned SO MUCH about my vagina and Hiram's sperm.

Also lol at "large cervical booger"

I actually had no idea about what all goes on in an ovary until I researched this. And I was also worried that one of you ladies with children would be all "nuh-uh! that's not how it goes at all" because I figure you have to learn all kinds of reproductive baby stuff when you have a kid.

Well you don't HAVE to learn those things, but I wondered how EXACTLY that shit goes down so I looked it up.

I can guarantee you that Hiram's cousin with 4 kids has no idea what goes in there. She just makes the babies!

The baby this is crazy to me too. Next month I go on injections to produce more eggs, I'm going to take clomid to release the egg, I'm taking a pill vaginally that will make the uterine lining thicker AND they are going to use a TINEY TINY tube to put Hiram's WASHED sperm in me. I actually have another injection but I forgot what that one does.

WASHED? omg how on earth do you wash sperm? I mean you can't just pick them up with tweezers and rinse them off.
