I have an appointment to be seen Nov. 18th (4th day of period) they will start me on reclipsen that day-  do reclipsen for 14 days- start IVF meds on Dec 2nd.- Transfer DEC 18th!!!!  SO AMAZING!!! SO exciting!! the part I find SO AWESOME is that if the pregnancy takes we will have first beta on Dec 23rd and confirmation beta ON CHRISTMAS!!!  Correction- I will take my first pregnancy tests on Christmas! beta will be the following week...

If all goes according to plan .... baby's due date will be Nov 5th 2014

The RE gave me the all clear!!! (preliminary)


Getting ready for the SIS in May 

My beautiful Uterus in the SIS test 

all 10 viles of blood that they took in May... its ALOT of tests they took!! 
WOO HOOOO the RE's nurse just called we are ALL CLEAR! All of my records, bmi, blood testing, are all medically Okayed WOO HOOO..... Only thing we gotta "deal with"  is I have a mild hypothyroid he just wants to make sure my Levothyroxin is in the right range so he is having me go get labs to make sure I'm in a good range. Once I'm at a good range with my thyroid we will  get some BABIES MADE!! WOO HOooooooo!!! I also need to do my intake in a couple weeks too :) but we will schedule that once my thyroid test is good :)

The search has ENDED! (we hope) Maybe Goldilocks will have... ?.. 3.. ? bears??

OMG OMG OMG OMG.. yes I sound like a teenager when she has her first real crush but let me tell you I am IN LOVE with my new match!!

We have not officially said we are a match but I can feel in my soul this is IT !! FINALLY!!
SO MANY things to say about the new IP's ..

IM- I'm calling "Goldilocks"-  she is the SWEETEST woman I think I've even met, has the cutest southern drawl, GORGEOUS blonde curly hair. and we have had the most AMAZING loving, warm, spiritual, laughing, crying, free loving, conversations already!! - She found me from my ad of Surro Moms Online a week ago, weve been talking ever since. When I talk to her I can FEEL her positive, loving kind gentile soul! We really do feel like soul sisters.

IF- I just met him via Skype this morning, then skyped again tonight.- awesome sense of humor! So fun! he is just as precious and I too feel like we are old friends when we chat! he looks like my moms neighbor, one of the Dr's in town, glasses, baldish, sweet soul you can see in his eyes.

and WOW watching them interact is just breathtaking.. these two TRULY love each other and you can FEEL IT SO organically!! Ahhhhhh.. I'm so happy and excited!!

Our story so far is so amazing! We are the same religion; we are all members of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, most know us as "Mormon" we call ourselves "LDS". Their egg donor is also of the same religion (which is rare on both counts!) Our religion encourages adoption for infertile couples, and therefore doesn't look at surrogacy often.

Funny enough the church is how I was introduced to surrogacy! A woman in my church was carrying her sisters child and I was fascinated and KNEW I would do it as well one day... I always said " for a spiritual sister"  not having a clue that it meant sister in the gospel!

OK so when Goldilocks and I first started talking We like totally loved each other but she was still grieving and hurt by their previous surrogates, inability to get and stay pregnant :( so she was reluctant to be hopeful (that's OK cause I had enough hope for both of us!) but we both really liked each other!  So I called and talked to her clinic's nurse, she was sweet as pie too! and I sent them all my records and she said everything sounded really good, but that the Dr had to do the official yes. (Still waiting on that now). So once they clear me we will go "official."

So ever since we started talking we've been slowly cranking up the communication, texting, calling, and the conversations get better and better. Just when I think our last conversation is fantastic she goes and makes it even better on hte next one! :P

OK so yes officially  I am in the honeymoon, in love cloud 9 phase of this relationship...
lets hope Monday the RE calls and says its officially perfect!  and we can be official!

Goldilocks brought up writing a book today I think that it is PERFECT! We have a great plan on the conception of the book and I cant wait to get started on my part :) It will be an LDS couple and their surrogate, story of our lives with each other with a religious approach I am SO excited about it!!  :)
