Inspiration in the form of a song!

I am dangerous when left alone with my own mind! I don't know how I found this, but Monty Python's "Sperm Song" is just what this girl needs right now! I started seeing a new doctor and had some different treatments this month, so I am crossing everything I can cross and trying to remain hopeful and optimistic! Repeating this song over and over certainly can't hurt my chances!!


There are jews in the world, there are buddists
There are hindus and mormons and then
There are those that follow mohammad, but
I've never been one of them

I'm a roman catholic
And have been since before I was born
And the one thing they say about catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm

You don't have to be a six footer
You don't have to have a great brain
You don't have to have any clothes on
You're a catholic the moment dad came, because

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found

Every sperm is wanted
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Hindu, taoist, morman
Spill theirs just anywhere
But god loves those who treat their
Semen with more care

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Every sperm is useful
Every sperm is fine
God needs everybody's
Mine, and mine, and mine

Let the pagans spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill and plain
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate


And I do have to say...after recently approaching the 2 year mark of trying unsuccessfuly...every sperm is needed in THIS neighborhood! :)

Tears and Hope

http://www.tearsandhope.com/emptyarms_video.html

If I could make a video to explain exactly what infertility is to a couple, this would be it. It literally took my breath away when I saw it, because it took the words right out of my mouth.

If you really want to feel the hearbreak of being diagnosed with infertility, walk a mile in my shoes, and watch this video...

...it would mean a lot to me, and the millions of other couples that suffer everyday along with us.


My journey to motherhood began exactly 2 years ago, November 8, 2008...
and for now, is unfinished...
FOR NOW.
