Wow! The past month had flown by.  And I have seriously neglected this blog.  I need to get back to my goal of posting every Sunday, at least.
Since I last posted there have been some updates.  I was able to talk with the fertility clinic and doc that the family is using.  The doc answered many questions and explained everything IN DETAIL. Very detailed.  I already knew the details but it was different to hear some stranger talk in so much detail about my womb and bits and pieces.  It was a little odd but not unpleasant.  I did learn a lot and it gives me some great info to consider over the next few weeks.  The best part was hearing that I get to do 10 weeks of shots.  How lucky I am.  lol  I am glad my good friend has offered to give them as they need to go in my bum and that is an awkward angle.  I am not a friend of needles but won't let something like that make this into a negative experience.
I also spoke with the patient care coordinator A.  She is amazing!! So friendly and so knowledgeable.  I am super happy to get to talk with her a lot over the next several months.  She was able to give me more info about a possible timeline.  I am pushing to make this happen soon because it doesn't make sense for any of the parties involved to try and delay it.  She is currently in the process of sending me some meds so I can do an initial estrogen patch cycle and then fly out to Cali in a couple weeks to complete the initial exam.  Very thorough exam.  Then, hopefully, the transfer could happen in July or August.  I would love to be pregnant and deliver by next Spring.  Something magical about a Spring baby.

I haven't been able to talk with the IPs (Intended Parents) since my phone interview.  I have expressed to the agency director that I do want to talk with them and she has agreed to pass that on.  I think this is just part of the process.  I would feel bad if we formed a bond and then something interfered, preventing the process from happening.  But I also want to get to know them better and give them more access to me.  I have so many ideas and can't wait to share them.

I have been exercising regularily to make sure my body is ready.  It feels good to get out and get the heart rate up.  I plan to continue to exercise during the pregnancy, but not to an extreme.  I exercised when I was pregnant with my son and think it really helped emotionally and physically.

I almost forgot something important!  My psych eval is scheduled for next Monday.  The phone call with the PhD to set up the appt went well and I like her.  I am anxious about the appt.  Not because it is unknown (I have experience in this area) but because I never know what to expect with anything.  It should be fun.

I guess I should get to bed and have some beauty sleep.

Night friends and family!
