Me: “One of my friends just got pregnant. You know, one of the girls I went out to dinner with months ago.”

Den: “Oh, cool. From IUI?”

Me: “No… sex. You know… the old-fashioned way.”

I was talking with a friend today here by the pool and the topic of sex came up. I mentioned how right now Den is lucky to get sex once a month. The comment has stuck with me all afternoon. It’s weird when you get to a juncture that sex doesn’t even come into the baby-making equation, much less be the central feature.
