My name is Libby, but you probably already know that because I did, after all, invite you. Or maybe you just wandered by, of course, in which case hello, my name is Libby.

As many of you know, I have decided to keep an online journal of my effort to get pregnant with my girlfriend, Mona and the dogged assistance of my former boyfriend, forever special friend and now also sperm donor, Jack (whom I am trying to hook up with Mona's younger sister, Molly, but don't tell them I said so). Along the way I am also likely to chatter away about my family, my friends, my precarious mental health, my recovering-Christian spirituality, my sometimes strange dreams and my lifelong compulsion to simply be naked.

That will probably take a lot of words to tell and I wanted to add images to the story so it is not just a big block of text, but partypooper Mona vetoed the use of any actual photos of our actual selves. However, to make up for it she also had a really cool idea that we "fantasy cast" the story as if it were going to be a movie (which, you know, it might be someday).

So ... with that introduction, you can explore this site by going to one of the topics listed here or just dive right in and start reading the journal.

A note from Future Libby:. I wrote all of this several years ago and then let it go dormant for a long time. In fact, it fell off the Internet when the blog platform I had been using closed down. This version is basically an "archive" on Molly's site. I didn't change the text in any substantial way, but did edit a few lines here and there. The idea of "casting" the characters is from the original version, but when we revived this site recently, we realized there were a lot more photos available of the chosen actors, so I did change a number of the images throughout. This, by the way, is how it turned out that Gwyneth Paltrow could be cast as both me and my mother. That was just a lucky accident, but worked well because she and I do look a lot alike.
