Welcome Post

Welcome to my blog.

This is the blog of a geekette entering her thirties and seriously considering the path of a single mother by choice. If you are thinking about the same thing, or looking for different perspective on the whole thing, this is the blog for you.

A little about me: I'm in my early thirties, single, geeky, living in the vibrant city of Vancouver, British Columbia. I love Joss Whedon anything, have participated in the Society for Creative Anachronism, love reading science fiction/fantasy writing, and enjoy attending various geek conventions. I made a muppet puppet of Beaker to be my date to last New Years.

 I didn't always want to be a mom; in my early twenties, I was quite ambivalent about the whole idea. It's since grown on me. For years, I kind of thought things would line up in place on there own... That I would meet a guy that made me happy, get married, have kids, be sickeningly happy together thirty years later, yadda yadda, just like my parents.

I woke up this year to the cold splash of reality: that hasn't happened, and my clock is ticking. I've been diagnosed with PCOS, and that means if I don't have kids in the next five or so years, I'm unlikely to without major intervention that I may not be able to afford on my own. I can always meet a partner later... I am running out of time to have children.

This blog is where I'm going to be working out both my feelings about starting a family on my own, and the logistics of it. When I get to the trying phase (estimated 2015/16), I'll be documenting my journey there as well. I haven't been able to find much on the thinking stage of SMCing, so I figured I would add to the literature. ^^
