Then I looked over at my coffee. It’s my 2nd bowl of coffee (you know, one of those giant mugs that are essentially a bowl with a handle) but I poured it at 11:00am. It is [...]]]> http://creatingmotherhood.com/2011/09/14/forgotten-coffee/feed/ 9 http://creatingmotherhood.com/2011/09/04/daddy-dilemma/ http://creatingmotherhood.com/2011/09/04/daddy-dilemma/#comments Sun, 04 Sep 2011 17:03:29 +0000 Dresden http://creatingmotherhood.com/?p=6771 Out of the blue it happened the other day. A simple life moment that made me realize that after all the research I put into donor sperm, artificial insemination, and IVF I had not exactly figured out what to do about the “Daddy Dilemma”.

Three years ago today the internet helped me have a baby. Seriously. Wait – do you not know this story? Oh it’s a good one.

I dared to hope. I dared to believe. It’s not a question that I will attempt to answer here: the, “when did W begin” question.
