I'm still here!

It's been forever, hasn't it?  Life has been hectic but I have been thinking about DI "stuff" a lot lately so, here I am!

First, Ben is doing great!  Happy, healthy, all boy!  He's almost 2 1/2 (man, time flies!) so we are going to start talking to him about his history soon.  I've had some preliminary discussions with him -- about how much we wanted a baby and how happy we were when he was born.  I'm going to start adding in some details soon.  I am also mulling creating a story book that tells it.  Maybe if I have a script, I won't trip over my words.  I'll put the draft up here when it's ready.

Second, have you all heard about 23andMe?  I think this is so great, especially for non-traditional families!  They recommend that you wait until the child is at least 3 because it can be tricky collecting enough saliva.  We are going to do it on Ben's birthday.  I want him to have as much information about himself as he can.  What do you think?  Do you think it's worth the price? 

That's it for today.  Ben sends his regards.

I have heard briefly about this, but do not really know much about it. What types of information can be found out?

Just about everything! It really is amazing. Scroll down a bit for some "mommy bloggers" who are working with 23 & Me and reporting on their results https://www.23andme.com/pregnancy/ I first heard about it from Jo (Leary Polyp) and Cecily Kellogg (Uppercase Woman)
