IUI #1

IUI #1 today. The wildest thing sprang into my mind right at the moment of truth: 'there's no turning back now!'
I voiced it to the nurse, who laughed, and the receptionist (whose style is rocking), who laughed, and to the acupuncturist afterward, who said 'are you feeling some ambiguity about this?' and then it wasn't as funny.
Am I? Short answer: yes. Doing this by myself is not what I pictured when I fantasized about becoming a mom in my twenties and thirties (can't hardly believe the thirties are almost over...). So ambiguity is something I'm feeling. A realignment of values, expectations and dreams is well underway, and not done yet. 
Stay tuned, Self.
