Yesterday, I was out because, long story short, because Bert just came in. Hey, Bert. To update him on what's been going on. But it was a couple years ago that Katie and I started discussing children.

And one of the things that Katie and I started

discussing children. And one of the things that Katie wanted was to include my DNA, to include my

offspring in our brood, a potential brood. So she said, I'd like you to consider freezing your

eggs so that we can use them. We learned that it's better to freeze embryos than freezing

eggs because they're more resilient. They are proven to be able to be frozen and unfrozen and used, and eggs are not proven to have as much of a success rate. So in the past couple of years, we have not only found the sperm donor, but we have also had to save money up for it because

our insurance does not cover this procedure, which is very expensive. And so the past six weeks,

I've been going through the process of getting hormones. The basic premise of IVF is, and Jim

brought up a good point earlier, that we usually don't hear about it unless it's Octomom or Kate Goslin because a lot of couples don't want to talk about it. Yeah, straight couples don't talk about it at all. It's like some sort of like forbidden secret that nobody's allowed to know they're doing in vitro. What's the taboo with it? I think there's a sense of failure. Either he has a low sperm count or she does not have a high egg count or high egg potential. And so I think a lot of couples don't want anybody to know because it is fascinating. Even when I've been to the fertility clinic and gone into the lobby and sat in the lobby like Katie and I are the ones talking and joke and have a good time and you know. And all the other couples are usually very solemn and very quiet. Don't look at anybody in the eye. They don't even sometimes don't look each other in the eye. I mean, it is an awkward thing. They're probably years into trying. So they tried traditionally for so long. Right. Went through that very frustrating period. And then the sad period of realizing it can't happen that way. So they're so far ahead of this game than you are.

They're so emotionally drained. Yeah.

They're so emotionally drained by the time they're in the lobby.

Right. But yeah. So it is to me a fascinating, because I had never really delved into this. So it's a fascinating process. And I love science that they can do this for these couples and for us. And so for six weeks, I've been doing shots and pills to basically

tell my body, you know what, if this ovulation, don't make one egg, make as many as you can.

And so yesterday, I went through the procedure of going to grab those eggs, and it's the

surgical procedure where I had to have anesthesia. And they went, you know, they went through,
