Tomorrow we go to Canada to meet little boy's big sister. She is 6 months older than him and has the same donor. We are choosing to call his siblings, sister, brother,etc not half sister or half brother. It is an interesting feeling preparing for this. We have been talking to all the other moms, there are 4 others, for over a year. Once lives in California, one lives in North Carolina, two live in Texas soon to be having twin boys, and one lives in canada, used to live in Connecticut. This is kinda cool, it's like he has family all over the country. Well, he does have family all over the country. We are all very similar in our parenting styles and our engagement level with our kids. This is remarkable to me. We are from so many different places and yet we are similar. I suppose it is because we are not all that different from one another. In our world, we create differences where there are none, in many cases.
We are excited about meeting his sister and her mom, we are also a little sad that he is not "just ours" anymore. We are beginning to share him with the rest of his family. We plan to take lots of pictures.

I am so excited for you ladies and gent. I think you and Steph are doing the right thing with introducing Lux to his extended family. It's as though he isn't an only child, ya know? It's beautiful. Horraayyyaaahhh for you guys. I hope we are lucky to have the same situation with Javier and his siblings because from what we know, he has three!
