15 things that could be fun to do with my nephews

Admittedly, I know very little about babies and small children, but here are things that I think could be fun to do with my nephews now or sometime in the future.

  1. The zoo. I love animals and I think kids do too.
  2. The aquarium. I went with one of them before, but he was so so little that he definitely needs to go many more times.
  3. A petting zoo. They'd have to be older, I know.
  4. Dozin' with the Dinos. Much older, but all little boys go through a dinosaur phase, right?
  5. Drag queen story time. Okay maybe this one is more for me.
  6. The beach. Definitely have to be older.
  7. A bookstore or book sale. Yes, they'd have to be older, but I'd love to share my love of books.
  8. To a movie. I love seeing movies and talking about them, plus there are quite a few good kids' movies. But yes, they'd have to be older.
  9. An escape the room. I know, they'd have to be a lot older, but they'll get there! And then we'll solve puzzles together.
  10. Maggie Daley Park. Every time I see it, I want to play on it so this way I can. They may need to be a bit older (not sure what all is there), but they'll get there before long!
  11. Millennium Park face fountains. Classic Chicago fun, but yeah they'd need to be older.
  12. The Lego Store. Yes, they would need to be older, but this place is awesome. Okay, maybe this one is a bit for me too.
  13. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. There's a butterfly room!
  14. A parade. So many fun things to see!
  15. Ferris wheel. This is one of the few rides I'll actually do, so they can see a lot of whatever is around us. I would wait for them to be older though as right now having babies on a Ferris wheel would stress me out too much.
Of course, these would all have to be approved by their parents, especially because, as I said before, I know so so little about children. But I do know that I want to spend time with my nephews!

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
