Transfer

Okay, so it's all been done. Everything went so fast! I got the news on a monday that the transfer was going to be done on thursday. Before I knew it, I was flying to NYC on Wednesday. I brought a friend along..not sure if most surrogates would agree, but I felt I needed someone with me to help me through my nerves.
And I'm still happy I did, it turned out to be really nice to have her along.
So we met up with the guys the first night for dinner and got the to relax with them a bit and the next day was spent sight seeing and meeting the guys again for coffee.
I had to be at the doctors office at 9:30 the next morning..not much sleep that night! So at the transfer it was very quick and painless, the IPs stayed next to me during the what seemed to be a whole 5 minute process. Something like a typical pap smear...

Then it was time for the bed, the next 24hrs were spent in the hotel room..
I'm pretty sure at that point the IPs and I were so happy and overwhelmed, bedrest wasn't going to be a bad thing! It was all done and now we could just relax a bit. I then was taken care of by room service and fun conversation. I was able to catch up on some sleep and actually woke up the next morning feeling great. The last day i had breakfast with the guys and then it was time to say our goodbyes, knowing next time we see each other, it will be for a ultrasound:)

Went back home, and told the kids, mommy has an egg in her and he have to be careful not to break it. Worked pretty well! lol
Now waiting the 10days for the hCG test..And crossing our fingers and toes xxxxxx

ready...set....GO!

So I just wanted to update a bit here...

So I received the BIG box of meds a few weeks ago. It was all a bit overwhelming, with all the needles and different bottles. But thank goodness for the wonderful doctors office in NY and the staff is so supportive. I started off right away, having my husband do the shots in my tummy was a must have at first! But believe it or not, I'm now currently doing my own shots in the a.m (and if you know me, thats pretty impressive)..They really aren't that bad at all. And then you have the butt shots.... Like every few days or so you gotta do this shot in the butt. Not fun...That's all I'm gonna say on that one.

And now I've been to the blood lab once a week for the past 3 weeks, getting to know the staff pretty well is kinda fun:)
So this part isn't so bad, just knowing its all starting is the best! I have a ultrasound on the 13th and I guess thats gonna tell the doctor if I'm ready. So I'm pretty sure the plan is to fly out on the 17th!! I'm really ready for this! The kids are also, they keep asking when it's all gonna happen. My daughter made a special gift for the baby already and I really think they are as ready as they can be.

Also getting to the know the IPs pretty well, they are awesome and I still know they are perfect for this baby:) Going to try and get out with my ladies this week, one last time before i'm pregnant and to sleepy for a social life~

Just saying...

I am NOT doing the Surrogacy for the money.That's just the icing on the cake.
And if you REALLY think thats why then you REALLY don't know me and it doesn't matter what you think.just understand what you say to people and those people say to other people might effect my children and that's when I do care. SO if you have questions/concerns and feel the need to talk about them, please feel free to do so with ME
