More Turkey anyone?

Warning - this post is a little explicit. (well I warned you so no telling me off okay?)

I thought about labeling this post "Does the turkey need basting?" but thought that might have been a little tasteless.

Last visit to the specialist, (who I think I will call Prof. Media because I am always seeing or hearing him somewhere on some form of media, and because I remember BK calling him a Media Slut and it cracks me up whenever I hear him), he mentioned that if the babydancing got too hard that we should try a home IUI kit. I didn't ask him what he meant but I had a good idea. I had an email discussion with a friend "N" who told me that he meant a turkey baster. You know, like hubby does his thing into like a cup or something, we grab the turkey baster, fill 'er up, and squirt and we are done. Very romantic, I'm sure.

So I didn't think about it much until this last week when we spent literally hours trying to achieve a babydance, and we ended up so blooming tired! So we seriously discussed the baster thing.

We made the decision that we would go out and buy a baster - you know, just in case.

I have never been embarrassed buying kitchen items - but I have been this week. I will never be able to look at turkey basters the same way again either.

Firstly we went to like 8 or 9 shops before we found anyone who even had a baster for sale. Shop assistants were saying "nobody uses basters any more. Have you tried the basting brush" - um ..... no I don't think that will do the job.

So when we did find one, I was very dissappointed to discover it was stainless steel. Ouch. I whispered to hubby "I don't think the Stainless steel one is a good idea. I mean, we might tear something vital, and it would be sooooo cold".

We eventually found a plastic one in the $2 shop but it is gigantic - with measurements like 100mls on the side. Yeah, as if.....

I bought it. We haven't used it. I just don't know that I can bring myself to actually do it.

I never ever thought I would even consider what seems like such a stupid thing to do.

Yet here I am - with an extra large turkey baster in my top beside drawer.

Funny thing is that since discussing it, the babydancing has been perfect. Any hint of a previous problem is gone at the moment.

Gosh I hope we never have to use it.
