the tank


So, this is what we woke up to on our porch the morning of the first frozen insemination attempt. Its crazy, and it looks just like a spaceship. All the stickers make it even more intense looking. Cooper was so afraid of it he nearly skipped his morning walk just to avoid walking around it. Very funny. He's going to have so much to get used to. The best part is that inside this 3 foot tall tank, is safely stored 1 vial about the size of half a crayon.
My favorite part of the whole experience was walking through the doctor's office carrying this tank between the 2 of us and watching the looks on people's faces in the hallways and the elevator. They must have assumed we were transporting a new heart for a transplant or something. It was fascinating to watch their expressions.
