That’s nice and fluffy they want you any where from 8mm to 16mm so I’m on track! We fly out sunday and get to Chicago at 4:20 then we head to the hotel! I’m sure I will not be sleeping ill be WAY to excited for the next day lol. Ill be on bed rest after too so we have lots of movies were taking with us. I’m actually really looking forward to laying in a hotel bed all day haha. I think after transfer I may just want to do a headstand the rest of the day lol. I also start pio shots on Wednesday and I have the best cousin in the world!!!! She’s coming over that night to show ricky how to do it thanks Barb your the best!!! I am also going to be drinking my pom juice and eating pineapple all week! The juice is supposed to help with lining and pineapple helps implantation.

Contracts….

Well I finally got a contract and it was like 48 pages! Mostly just lots of extra wording lol. But there was a big issue in there for me about aborting and that if Jon and Molly wanted me to then I had to all the way up to week 20! I FREAKED I had already talked with my agency and Molly about not wanting to and that’s why I was so happy that they had done genetic testing already so they know the babies are great! So I was concerned why this would still be in there? My lawyer then told me she would call me on sunday night at 7:15. She really called at 6:00 and said she was hoping to talk with me because there was a more pressing case she had to work on! I was upset I mean does that mean my case is of little importance?  We have to have contracts done by the 22 that’s this Thursday. So I had to call her yesterday we got to talk. I told her my major issue and she said she would fix it and e-mail me a revised copy last night. I never got one. She also told me to call her this morning to go over the canges. Well I guess I can’t do that! I’m sure she is busy and I understand but don’t tell me you are doing something and then don’t do it. She could have said ill try to do that tonigjt or tomorrow.  I don’t want to mess this up for Jon and Molly I can’t believe I’m saying this but I want to take a shot on Friday night lol! My lawyer did tell me to call Molly and talk to her though about the issue and I didn’t really want to but I did and I’m glad I did. I can’t imagine having a more caring person being the intended mommy. She said she told her lawyer I didn’t want to and they just didn’t take it out. So what a relief that was! She just kept saying she wants me to be completely comfortable with everything! So now I just have to get my lawyer on the ball so this all gets done lol. Wish me luck guys and ill update soon! Thanks for all the continued praying and support!

After much anticipation….

Ok so we made it were here!!! My brother Bobby took us to the airport and we were super early so we just ate and waited. When everyone started boarding we were the last group so we had to wait until they called us and we kept waiting and it got really empty and then they started paging us saying the plane was going to leave!!!! WHAT I swear we did not hear them say group 4!!! So we almost missed our flight after being two hours early lol. I also asked the man if we could have a window seat he looked a bit aggravated and changed it. When we got on the plane I was lucky to have a window seat but it was literally right on the engine!! It was the loudest plane ride ever lol. So I have about two hours untill we meet them and I’m relaxed in bed with one of my favorite movies ever anchorman! But I know I need to get up and start getting ready it takes a bit to make me look nice lol. Ill be sure to update you guys after! Thanks again for reading and supporting us in this amazing journey! Here is a picture of me on the plane!!!

Getting excited!!!

Ok guys I know its been a while sorry. We have been so busy with life lol. In just two days I will finally be meeting my IM and ID (intended mommy and daddy)!!! I can’t tell you how excited and terrified I am all at the same time!!! What if its like the show catfish on MTV lol. I’m sure its not but a funny way to look at it! We will be meeting them Thursday night at 7:30 at a restaurant it looks super yummy! They asked if we wanted to meet Thursday or Friday but I just can’t wait a extra day lol. Then Friday morning we will be off to my med screening at 6:30 am.  I’m wondering how long it will take them to tell me everything looks ok. I know they have to do std tests so I’m sure that takes a week or so. I think we are also doing another psychological exam. Then we will be off to spend the day on the town! But I’m ready for a break I think it would be nice to lay in a hotel bed all day and watch tv and nap!! I’m pretty sure Ricky will not let that happen lol. I promise to update as soon as I get a chance after we meet in Chicago!

Well the agency got back to me with all our plans! We will be flying in to chicago from St. Louis its only a 45 min flight lol. But I’m glad were flying we have a very busy month! Were going to visit grandma in branson the first week in August so that’s a 6 hour drive there and back then we get back sunday only to fly out to Chicago on Thursday!  So if we would have had to drive it would be a lot of driving in a week! We will be in chicago by 3 we can check into our hotel by 4. I’m so excited to get there! Were not taking the kids so it will be like a little mini vaca for Ricky and I! I have been once before with Krystal and we had a BLAST!!! I hope Ricky is as much fun but I doubt it lol. I know my IP’s said they would like to meet us for lunch or diner on Thursday or Friday so that is what I’m most excited about finally meeting the woman I have been emailing for over a month! I was talking online with a few other surro’s who are already pregnant and they were talking about people asking about the baby and pregnancy and what all they say.  I can’t wait! There so funny they tell people shhh don’t tell my husband its not his lol and don’t worry its not mine LOL I can just see peoples faces already! They will be like what in the world! Also how many women can say I have a baby momma lol!!! Well I hope one day I can! I know ricky has lots planed for Chicago he wants to eat pizza and portello’s I think that’s how you spell it lol and go to the pier and sears tower and see how much Cardinal’s stuff he can wear lol!  I would be happy shopping! We should be geeting back Saturday evening.  Ill be so glad to get the kids but I’m sure they won’t miss us at all Granny and PaPa always spoil them lol.

This is a post to help other surros. So this is my first period after my iud was out (sorry if this is tmi for you) it will most likely only get worse as time goes on! Anyone that knows me knows I’m not shy lol so anyway back to the story! I only had the iud for around 9 months and I have never had bad pms. sure I would get a little crabby but nothing like now lol. My poor husband… I feel like could cry and yell at the same time and I am NOT a emotional girl lol. Also sorry to poor lindsay at work yestersay who said she’s never seen me so bad lol. I did talk with a few other girls who said they felt this way after there iud too so I’m glad I’m not the only one!!! So the whole point of this post is to warn you and let you know your not the only one and for my friends and family to stay out of my way and don’t eat my chocolate! (Inside joke)

Going to Chicago!!!

Ok so I got my email from the nurse today and she said to start taking the birth control pills on sunday! Then she asked if me and Ricky could go for my medical screening on August 9th!!!! That’s only like 3 weeks away! My appointment is at 6:30 AM!!! So anyone that really knows me knows I HATE getting up early I don’t roll out of bed untill the last possible second lol. But because I’m so excited and nervous I’m sure I won’t be sleeping the night before anyway! I know lots of girls freak out about the screening and i am worried about it but I’m more freaked out about meeting my IP’s in person! It takes a lot to make me nervous but I really am about meeting them! I know 100% once were there it will be great its just the 3 weeks leading up to it now lol. So I guess after all this happens and my medical screening comes back great then it will be onto contracts (I’m least excited about this) I know it has to be done and its in everyone’s best interest but I just don’t like the idea at all it seems so business like and i dont want to step on anyones toes or anything. I can just see that getting awkward and I only want to build a amazing friendship! But then it will be all the meds and SHOTS!!! I’m also not super excited for that lol. So that’s all for now and ill update soon guys!!!

Guess what!!!!

Woohooo I started my period!!!!! I litterly was juming up and down at work and high fived lindsay!!! I felt like a twelve year old girl who got it for the first time. I emailed the lady at the Drs office first and then my IM!!! I’m pretty sure she’s just as excited as me lol at least I hope she is! So now I hope this means I get to go to chicago soon for my medical screening and more importantly to meet my IP’s. Its really odd getting to know them with email and papers and one phone call. Normally you meet someone like them and then the rest follows this is like all backwards. I feel like its like internet dating but for a baby lol. Anyway its going to be a happy night for me and ill update when I hear from the nurse tomorrow! !! Thanks again everyone for all the support! !!

Little update…

I have been emailing a little with the IM just getting to know each a little better! Its surprising how easy it has been not very awkward. It feels really weird trying to get to know someone you haven’t met really. I also finally told her that I have been bloging my experiences so far. I was worried she wouldnt like the idea. I know some surrogates choose to not share their blog and others have told the ips  and they have not exactly liked the idea so I was very glad when she emailed back saying she thought it was great! So that’s the only update I have for now.
