Up, Up, and Away!!

Tomorrow is super exciting because I am flying to California to meet with the IPs.  I am feeling all sorts of different things: happy, excited, nervous, giddy, nervous, relieved that another step is happening, ecstatic, hopeful, nervous.  lol.  I guess I might be a little nervous.  It is always hard to meet new people (in person) and hope that they understand me and that I make a good impression.  Cross your fingers and let's hope this goes well. ;)  It has been great to talk with the parents over the phone and I can't wait to meet them in person.  I already like them so much so I hope they like me too.
I am also nervous about the visit with their fertility doc.  I know that I am ready for this to happen and my body is ready right along with me, but it is stressful to think that he could decide I am not right and put a stop to the process.  Hopefully my "lovely" and "perfect" uterus will charm him.  It sure worked with the docs out here.

My "lining check" ultrasound with the Utah fertility clinic went well last Monday.  My uterine lining was at 10.5.  The nurse practitioner commented that my uterus appeared "perfect" and ready.  She said they use surros when they reach 7.0 so she felt confident that the Cali doc will like how my body has been responding to the estrogen.  It felt really good to hear her feedback.  Damn right, my uterus is perfect! lol

I am still on the same amount of estrogen patches.  My chest continues to be swollen and large.  Most ladies would be excited about free growth but I was already big and now just feel awkward.  And it doesn't help that my boobs keep trying to pop out of everything I wear.  Down girls!  My emotions have still been a little off as well.  I still cry over weird commercials and TV shows.  I even watched an action movie and ended up teary eyed at some points.  I haven't felt as peppy as the first week or so, and am feeling tired sometimes.  The patches seem to throw off my sleep schedule so I have been napping whenever I get a chance.  I guess this is good preparation for when I am pregnant and feel tired.  Gotta love little naps here and there.  I am still cleaning and organizing like crazy.  It feels good to get rid of old things and clean out the house.

I am honestly not sure what else to write about on here.  I have checked out other blogs and the writers seem to just write about random things.  Sometimes it is entertaining and I relate to them, and other times it feels like a waste of my time.  Any suggestions or questions from the peanut gallery?  I am sending out the link to friend and family so they can join the fun.

I will post again when I am back from Cali. :)
