April 23rd!

It took them a week to get us an appointment, which I thought was ridicules but what ever, we have one now. It isn't as close as Y and I would have liked but we don't have much choice. If the appointment is end of April then we are looking at a late May or early June transfer.

Now the planning starts!
There are plan tickets to purchase, baby sitters to find, and lodging to figure out. We are going to fly to either NJ, PA, or NY on Wednesday or Thursday. The appointment is on Friday. We want to plan for plenty of time to visit with Y & S and get to know them. Then we also want to spend a couple days visiting my aunt in New York City. As you can see fit as much as possible in 3-4 days as we can. Then we will fly back on Sunday or Monday. We should be good and exhausted by the time we return.

Possible Dates
So if we do the egg retrieval sometime between May 20th and lets say June 30th (hopefully at the latest) and the transfer works the baby would be due sometime between February 9th through March 23rd. I would be in my third trimester in the winter which is always a plus and maybe just maybe baby would come around my birthday!

So that is where we are now. Looking forward to being able to post more but there probably won't be too much more news till we get closer to the appointment.

This journey seems to be moving in the right direction. Woohoo! I am getting so excited!

The divorce was finalized quicker then I thought possible. It was a relief to have it over and out of the way. I have officially been a divorced woman for a week and a half.

The RE has approved me and we are waiting for some dates when we can go in for the all day appointment. This appoinment will include psychological and medical evaluations to ensure that I am physically and mentally stable enough to carry a baby Y & S. This date will hopefully be around the end of March or the beginning of April. Then the fun will start with injections and such and we will hopefully be transfering end of April or beginning of May. Y really wants to be able to transfer in April although as optimistic as I am, I am also afraid that the REs aren't in as big of a rush as Y and I are. There are still contracts to be written up, appointments to go to, tests to run so we will see but I think it is probably pushing it.

I should have insurance by the end of the week. It isn't the orginal plan but I think it will work out just as well. We were originally going to get a BCBS policy. The quick quote came back at around $650, when I entered my medical information (which really is not that extensive) it came back DOUBLE that! I about had a heart attack and was almost in tears as I thought this surely was the end and my IPs would move on. I decided I wasn't going to let it defeat me just yet. I called ***** insurance company to see what they had found out about covering surrogacy because I had never heard back from them. GOOD NEWS! The will cover the pregnancy.

That is the updates for now. Hopefully we will have a date for when we are headed to New Jersey to meet with the REs by Friday.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother to some awesome kids, 3 of my own and one step son, a wife to one awesomely geeky husband, a daughter to two wonderful parents, a big sister, a auntie to one super cute nephew and adorable twin nieces, and a friend to those in need or who just like to talk. I am who I am, I work to better myself everyday but for the most part I am a disorganized, passionate, loving, positive, crazy, stubborn, sometimes irrational & moody woman.
