MOVING FORWARD!!!

Hooray for moving forward!! We officially picked a new transfer date……OCT 9^th!!! I started back on the birth control pills a few weeks ago. I can honestly say I didn’t miss taking them or their side effects! I will begin the Lupron shots in little over a month.

Many people were shocked to learn that we were doing another transfer. Yes indeed! In the beginning  I agreed I would do a total of 3 transfers for them.  I am a little nervous this time around because I will be working at my first job as a teacher. Last transfer, the side effects of all the hormones were awful. I had envisioned myself 23 weeks pregnant when school started and not starting all over. I know that everything happens for a reason and I am trusting in the plan and moving forward with positive thoughts for this pregnancy.

When God made my husband he sure must have had to take his time…there were a lot of details that went into making a man that could deal with me! He is amazing. His kindness and love for others never ceases to amaze me!! This miscarriage was also very hard on him. I didn’t realize how much our family would be dedicated to this process as a whole….but we are all in it together to make these wonderful people parents.

People keep asking me “How can you do this again after everything you and your body have already went through?” Honestly this is how I feel… If I have to suffer for 9 months for these people to have a life full of the happiness a child brings then it is all worth it! I think of all the joy my kids bring to me every day and I think that this process would be worth it for these parents to experience only one day of joy a child brings!

If this transfer is a success  I will be due at the end of June! Then off to North Carolina to celebrate for a little vacation!! That will mark 2 YEARS since we started this journey. I hope all other potential surrogates realize that this isn’t a process for the faint at heart. It doesn’t always go perfect and it can take a lot of time. This is time out of your life that you have to plan around and make sacrifices for. I am happy to do it!! But don’t be fooled it does get stressful at times.

So for the next 10 weeks I am going to try to become the best me I can be for my family, students, and the little one that will be growing in me!!  Thank you for all the love and support all of you have shown me…it has truly touched my heart!!
