Contract Review

One step closer.  I received the contract via email today and started to read over it.  Looks like only a couple of changes so far and I don't think there will be too many more.  Once I review everything, I will send any changes to my attorney to adjust and then she will send it back for one more read over, then back to the C&W's attorney.  Hopefully we can have it all wrapped up by the end of next week (or close to it). 

Contracts are always the hardest part for me because even though we want to always think, "Oh, that will never happen to me/us" or all the other "what if's", this is the piece where we realistically have to consider all of those things.  It really stinks, because no one ever really wants to consider those options and most people having babies the "traditional" way don't have to cross that bridge until they get there.  As surrogates and IP's, we don't really have to cross those bridges until we get there either, but we have to plan in the event they are there.  We all have to be protected, which is why it is so important to discuss these things while matching and I'm glad that we did that and are all on the same page.

She has arrived...

AF that is. Yeah, I know.  Typically not something we look forward to, but in the surro world, it's an important step towards the next step.  She arrived late last night, so today would be day 1. Testing at HIVF is typically done between day 2 and day 4, so I'm excited that we can actually schedule something for Wednesday instead of Monday or Tuesday, because Mon/Tue are really busy work days for me. I'll be emailing the nurse coordinator (NC going forward) today to let her know and get a few more dates ironed out. She hasn't been very clear in the last couple of emails and I'm such a planner that I really need to get some things written down so that I can start planning.

Time will go by so quickly I'm sure, but I think it's going to be a great journey!

Just Waiting for AF

Well, it's going to be tough, but I'm going to make it work. I took my last BCP on Tuesday night, so now I'm just waiting on AF. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday and then I will fly to Houston for testing on Mon or Tues and then begin a mock cycle. C & W's attorney is working on the contract and should probably have all that done in the next few weeks. Wow, it's going to zoom by. They are excited and so am I!
