Why it's a Brave New World, Baby

Brave New World was the first book I gave my husband when we first met a decade ago. The irony of this would occur to me when we found out that due to a condition called congenital absence of the vas deferens (missing tubing in my husband's reproductive system), the only way we would be able to conceive was through IVF- in other words, a "test-tube baby." Just as in Aldous Huxley's world, we wouldn't be creating our potential baby with messy, inefficient sex- instead professionals would be mixing our DNA in a test-tube and presto! Hopefully a baby would result. Of course, in real-life 2010- it's still not quite this easy. In fact, it's pretty hard and painful as I'm learning along the way. This is to chronicle our journey, so that one day our children- whether we are successful with IVF or end up going to adoption- know what we were willing to go through to find them. And hopefully, to help me keep my sanity and sense of humor along the way.
