So far this week

I have been so lazy! I have had nothing on my mind but my missing period. I really wish I could see what was going on in my body. As soon as I start (CD1) I need to let my nurse coordinator know. Then we can get our calendar. Does my body not know that I have people waiting? I think that's the problem. The waiting. Normally I just go with the flow, no pun intended. I really have never tracked my cycles as I have been on some sort of contraceptive or pregnant, or cycling to become pregnant for the majority of the last 5 years. So I just wait.
But while waiting I have been researching what to do to help along the start of my cycle. I found a site that gives information about herbs that are supposed to help. So for the past 2 days I have been drinking parsley tea and taking 1500mg of Vit C. So far nada. Well what else can I do? So I will meditate. So not me but every now and then I need a good talking to myself.

Sunday's Lunch

Sunday was a good day. The weather was yuck but I was inside with friends. Most used to be online friends but now I know them IRL. I pick up Darla and we drove to Dublin. We had nice conversation the whole way there and actually got there early. So we sat in the car and waited and talked some more. Then the gals started rolling in at about 1. We had 8 ladies and two little guys. It was nice to meet people that you 'talk' to almost everyday through the internet. We talked and laughed for almost 3 hours and then Lisa showed up.
Lachlan is so big. He checked everybody out before he started to smile and talk for us. He really enjoyed watching Jenn's boys. I know he is going to skip crawling and just start running, you can see it in his eyes. He loves to be moving. When I was able to hold him he gave me kisses. I'm sure he gives them to everybody but its still nice. I still can't believe it's been six months since he was born. And I'm looking to get pregnant again. What's wrong with me?!?
Lisa had to leave, she left Gerry at the bookstore. 8 women would nave been too much for him. So we said our goodbyes. I need to go up there and spend some more time with all three of them and get lots of pictures. We stayed for a bit longer. Everybody still had lots to talk about. But it was getting late and Darla and I still had an hour drive in the rain. So the rest of us also said our goodbyes. I had such a great time talking about stuff with other surrogates that most people don't want to hear about. We always say we need to do this more often but we always get busy with life and we wait. Hopefully it wont be too long. But I do know that I will be going to Jenn's in May for a little GTG. And we are going to have a Fresno GTG soon too.

Contract

Well it's here. I need to print and sign but have to wait until the 19th. I have my phone consult with Michelle then. I've done it all before so no worries.
Soon we will be transfering. I can't wait. I will get to see the guys and the twins, who aren't babies anymore. They are 2 as of 3 days ago.

My Dream

Last night I was all snuggled in bed and dreaming. I do this often and more than not I remember my dreams. I guess this dream was really bring to light what is on my mind. The Wedding.
My cousin is getting married at the end of this month and I have been asked to help. I don't mind helping, but my mom and I have been put in charge. We are planning the entire thing. This is even faster than my wedding that we planned in six weeks.
So back to the dream. Nick and I have been looking for homes to buy and one that we saw just happens to be the backdrop of this dream. This house need some work done in the backyard, not much but we would have liked to have grass. So I was removing the sand from the enormous sandbox and taking it out through the house to the front yard. In a tiny bucket. Don't know why the bucket was so small. Then here comes the entire family telling me to hurry the wedding is going to start. WTH! First off I had no music, hadn't finished the playlist. They said that was fine. Then we have no officiant, it's OK I can perform the ceremony. So I start. Then I realize what about pictures! I hadn't received my tax return yet so I didn't buy my camera. So I stopped in the middle of the ceremony to go find a wind up camera. I'm trying to take pictures and officiate at the same time. Then another thought pops into my head. The programs! I hadn't finished designing them because we weren't sure on the best man and had no officiant. Nobody cares. Why? So the whole things is finally over, yup I did it all. Then I go to look at the calender and try to figure out why I was so unprepared. Well it wasn't the 28th yet, I was supposed to have 2 more weeks.
Now that dream has got me worried and I hope we can pull this off. I still need to make the playlist, design the programs, find an officiant, and buy my camera.

New Updates on Upcoming Transfer

I emailed my NC (nurse coordinator) and asked if we could use BCP so we would have a bit more definite calender. She put a note in to the doc and got back to me the next day. I will now start the pills on CD 2-3 and then transfer will be around CD 19. The guys really wanted to come out so this helps tremendously. I picked up my pills and my prenatal vitamins today from Target so now it's starting to get closer. We are just waiting on the contracts to be signed, we agreed on everything so no going back and forth changing things. Then come April I will hopefully be pregnant.

And another thing the twins will be 2 in 2 days! Can you believe it?

Planning a Wedding

No it's not mine. My cousin will be getting married on February 28th. It was originally planned for Valentines Day but there was no place to hold it. Thank you whomever booked everywhere in P'ville because now we have 2 extra weeks to plan. I knew about the engagement during Christmas but we thought there wouldn't be a wedding until summer. Well on our way to Disneyland we stopped in P'ville and I was told I am now a wedding planner. The only wedding I have ever had any hand in was my own and it wasn't that great. But I guess when you need help you will take all you can get.
So I am now in charge of music, photography, programs, flower girl, and anything else that can be thrown at me. Did I mention that I live 3 hours away? So for the last 2 days I have been organizing my music files so that i can have a playlist for the wedding. I did my tax return so that I could buy my new camera that I will be using to take the pictures. I signed up for The Knot to get ideas for the programs and anything else they can help me with. Oh and Trystan is the flower girl. Why me? Nick has to work so how am I going to do all this? I really hope that it goes smooth. But with our family that rarely happens. Wish me well!
