Lots of things have been happening since my last post. LOTS OF STUFF!!!! In fact, I don't even know where to begin!! Well......let's talk about the MOST important thing first!!
BABY......
The contract with the Surrogate has been signed, sealed and delivered! :-) HA!
After some hiccups along the way with the Egg retrieval and the Husband, we had to freeze the eggs as little old eggs instead of embryos. So, we might be in a sticky situation as the eggs are not always as viable as just eggs, but we had no other option. The IVF Clinic kind of dropped the ball and I had to kind of go off on them in a nice way. They literally called me the DAY they needed the Husband to come up there for his part and he had surgery and was on meds, so that wasn't going to happen. I told the Clinic they need to give me a little more notice than the DAY OF, RIGHT THIS SECOND to come up to the Clinic. I think they got the message loud and clear and things have gone WONDERFUL ever since. I really LOVE the Nurse and Doctors at the IVF Clinic too!
The Surrogate will be referred to as "B" in my postings. And NO....It is not what you are thinking. Her first name starts with a "B". So.....B went to the IVF Clinic when she finally started her cycle on Friday, October 5th. The Doctor said things looked great with her and I was SO very happy to hear this. They told her she would start the IVF meds the next day for a possible transfer date of October 25th or 27th. Yes......you heard that correctly. We could be transferring THIS MONTH. I think "B" was in complete shock as she had been kind of upset thinking she was delaying us from transfer for a couple months since her cycle was delayed, BUT that was not the case at all!!! They scheduled her follow up appointment to look at her uterus and do a mock transfer for Tuesday, October 8th. I had to take a cashier's check for the transfer to the IVF Clinic before the 11th, so it was perfect timing for me to go to the appointment with her! All was well with her uterus and the transfer and we will find out at the next appointment if we will in fact be transferring on the 25th or 27th. The eggs will be thawed on October 22nd and we will find out how many "survived" the freezing. Let's PRAY they all make it!! I am looking forward to the 18th to find out the dates! After the appointment, "B" and I grabbed some lunch at Mi Cocina and caught up on our personal lives. It was a great lunch!
Onto the next update of life. That thing called Marriage. It was been a little over six months since we got married and things have seriously been non stop ever since, but in a bit of an exciting way. Sometimes a little CRAZY though!! I need a vacation from life!! Our wedding was featured on a blog from the place that I purchased the wraps My Girls and me wore while getting ready for the wedding. Check it out at http://ivorysparrow.com/blog/. I LOVE it! So exciting they wanted to use my wedding.
And, the last and probably the most hectic thing going on in my life right now is our house.......If you know we, you know I HATE MOVING and I don't like being controlled by anyone!! If life isn't busy enough with the Baby stuff, we have added to the stress by building a house. I MUST BE INSANE!!! It isn't so much building a house as it is dealing with Jason's family that is going to do me in!!!! I am a person that HAS to be in control and really like having some thing remain private. That is not something that is easily done in my Family. It isn't like I am saying it is a bad thing, but it is just not something that I am used to AT ALL and quite frankly, it really isn't normal especially when my Husband tells me to talk to Joe in regards to EVERYTHING! I feel like I am married to Joe instead of Jason in a lot of ways!! Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE Joe and RESPECT him more than just about anyone in my life right now. He is truly one of the most generous men I know. He actually reminds me SO much of my Grandpa H that is makes me sad sometimes because it makes me miss him SO much more. On the other hand, Joe can really make me SO MAD too!!! My Grandpa NEVER made me mad though, so that is a difference FOR SURE!!! Joe is Jason's "Stepdad" and pretty much "raised" Jason to a degree as a teenager. Jason has a lot of respect for Joe and his "Stepmom" Linda for both taking him on as a teenager. He needed both of them and for that, I am more than GRATEFUL to both of them. They are both VERY good people for what they have done for Jason's Mom and her kids. We have to have Joe as the "Builder" to cut cost, but I also don't want to get on anyone's bad side and I am kind of over the top with the fact that I know what I want and would rather do things my way so I only have myself to blame for messing up than getting mad at someone else. I guess I will just blame Joe for everything that goes wrong though! HA!! I think I could get used to that idea!
I have some issues with the house I live in now (which is normal since I did not have anything to do with it), not because it is wrong, just simply because it is a personal preference and everyone has things they do and do not like. There are MANY things that I LOVE about the house I live in now especially the style, but there are just things I don't like about it too. For one thing, I LOVE natural light and high ceilings, none of which I currently have. It is like a dungeon in this place, BUT that is because Jason liked dark and he was single when it was built, so it was built for his tastes as it should have been. Now, I am in the picture and changing things to suit my tastes. I am a person that KNOWS EXACTLY what I want in the house and what makes me crazy. I will be working close with Joe in all aspects of the building of the house and make sure things get done in a TIMELY manner and not drag on plus, Joe needs someone to keep him on track! HA!!! I am the perfect person for that!!
I pretty much have everything I want picked out and have looked on a lot of websites for things that people don't think about when building their own house. I have gotten tons of ideas from the different websites. The architect is working on the floor plan I want right now and will be done in about two weeks, then we will meet again to go over the outside look of the house and where I want the windows and doors to go. I have that pretty much figured out too. I can't wait for tall ceiling, LOTS of windows resulting in natural light and open space. Also, having a master bedroom on the ground floor is going to be AWESOME!! My closet is the other thing I can't wait for! It is going to be a room in itself. I want my closet to be my sanctuary when I need ME time! I hope over time, it will look like a celebrities closet. HA!!! It will also have a built in vanity it in along with a big window for putting on makeup in natural light. Just thinking about my closet makes me happy right now!! I can't wait!! I am sure Jason is going to hate all the natural light!!
Ok, I think I have gone on long enough about my CRAZY life, so until next time.......
