FINALLY!!!
Finally, for real, today is THE day. "We" officially start shots and other meds in preparation for IVF next month.

Only 10 days left of BCPs, and I start Lupron shots on 9/16. We are finally moving forward with this cycle after 3 date changes. :)

And again..changed! Pushed 4 more days for an IVF date of October 14-16.

Our calendar has changed again! We've been pushed to October. The change adds 15 more days of the Pill for me, then shots & other meds start on 9/11. Tentative transfer day is October 7-10.

That's it?

Well, my big box of drugs arrived. Yes, that's it. More anti-climactic than I remember. Yes, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. So glad to help J & B add to their family, and also feeling the "hope it works" pressure. Aug 16th is the official start to our IVF Cycle.

Calendar & drugs!

Well, we are on our way! Jen sent my medication schedule via email today! Freedom Drug called this morning, and all my meds will be here tomorrow. I have to be here to sign for my meds, so I'll be waiting for the Fed Ex guy tomorrow!
So much of surrogacy is a waiting game. My husband's fortune cookie from today's lunch reads "The course of life in unpredictable...no one can write his autobiography in advance." Fitting? Yes. Giving me more patience? NO.

Moving and introduction

Since Easyjournal is having a lot of issues, I've decided to move my blog over here. My Easyjournal only included my surrogate journeys, but this one will include everything! If you'd like to read my other journal, its here. I hope it works!

Yes, I'm a surrogate mom, and have carried twice. I had a baby boy for my first couple in May of 2004. I had another little boy in August of 2005 for my current couple. I say "current" as we are still working together and I hope to have a sibling for them in the next year!

My hubby and I have been married since 1993, and we have four children, two girls ages 16 & 8, and two boys ages 11 & 10. Our house can be controlled chaos at times. All the kids are involved in some type of activity throughout the school year, as well as during the summer. They keep us hoping all year round! I affectionately call it "my family circus" after the Sunday comic strip by Bill Keane "Family Circus." He and his wife also have four kids, and his comics fit my life perfectly!

Welcome to my blog and enjoy a peek into our Circus!
