Here We Go Again!

Medical clearance ended up being a breeze. Meeting my intended parents for the first time, not so much. I hung my head as I walked into dinner over 30 minutes late because I failed to check the address on my GPS destination. FYI there are two Houlihans on 119th street in KC, about 30 minutes from each other. Thank heavens they were so understanding by the time we made it there and let me tell you they are so sweet. We all left dinner with a peace knowing if its meant to be, it will be.

IT'S MEANT TO BE!

Over the last month in a half we have been playing the waiting game. Insurance has to be reviewed, contracts have to be drafted and discussed with separate attorneys with hopes of having everything finalized by my next cycle. The clock never stops ticking and that alone can be stressful. A minor setback in paperwork might seem like no big deal, but in the surrogacy world it can throw transfer off for another month. We narrowly made it in time. The first step in prepping myself for transfer is birth control which starts today. Isn't ironic that in order to get pregnant we start with the pill that prevents it? Injections start next week and transfer is set for December 6th. I have contemplated being a little more open with what I'm doing on a daily or weekly basis involving my transfer calendar. This would be a great way for you to see what countless women do month after month for sometimes years with hopes of getting pregnant. I will either start a separate Facebook page to follow or continue posting on my personal page. It's just talking my shy,/nervous self into it.

 As always, please keep me and this family in your prayers. I am so excited and nervous to walk this crazy, beautiful journey again and to have all of you along with me.
