mommie making

my mommie hormones are doing their thing again. they do this a lot. a whole lot. i'll be turning 30 at the end of february. i've been having the baby dream: the one where i have my own kid : since i was 18 or so.. and the last couple of years my want to be a mommie has only grown.

my problem is, i don't have all the ingredients. i got the womb, and from the signals my body gives out every month, i'm pretty sure i got the eggs. its the sperm i'm missing. well, duh. its the access to sperm i'm missing.

tonight i was bored. so i did some looking. apparently there's a sperm bank at the oregon health and sciences university in portland.. but i read a narrative about it, 2 women posing as lesbians, it wasn't good. so, i've axed that. so, i've narrowed it down to the northwest andrology and cryobank in spokane, wa and pacific reproductive services. this is, of course if i can't find a donor here in eugene. i don't know if there's a mommie network here. i don't have any male friends. i have no idea about how to go about finding a non-frozen donor. and then there's the legal stuff.

anyhow, its all in the thought processes.

but i have been playing around with more names! for a girl, zippora. this is a new one. for the longest time i've had the name grianne, but the explanation of the pronunciation is a bit too much. zippora. or harrie.. faith came up with that one, and well, it grew on me. cause if its a boy he'll be harry. my dad's name is harry. and not only that, but i really like the name harry. and for a middle name, miller-- my maternal grandmother's maiden name. it'll work for a girl or a boy. zippora miller robertshaw, harrie miller robertshaw, or harry miller robertshaw.

and on that note, i'm going to bed. i'll proably have the baby dream.

Well I guess you don't have to have a group of men to be a mommy. And I think you'd be a great mommy once you get yourself all patched up. Yup, a wonderful mommy. *swoon*

My boy and I have picked out the name Jin Ju if we have a girl. Mind you, we aren't in any way, shape, or form ready to have a baby, but we have a girls name picked out. We've also decided that we would blend our names together for our children to have a combination of our last name. Huffencooper. It sounds pretty German, which we both are partly and both our names are in there, together, and its fun to say.

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
