Yes, it is March 14th and the tentative transfer is April 4th….so as you can see there is just not much more waiting to go!! However, I am not quite sure it has really sunk in yet. Although, on Friday I went to see a surrogate and her intended parents at the hospital. They had twin girls on Thursday. Going to see them got me so excited.
I went to see Dr. Heard on Wednesday. I had to wait 50 minutes, so I was getting irritated, but that happens alot when you must visit the doctor. I was really worried I would be very late for work. I took half a day off and needed to get back by 11am. After the nurse practitioner , did my exam she then told me I had to get some lab work done. Oh my goodness, that really got under my skin because I was already running behind and I already waited 50 min to see doc then I had had to wait to get labs done. Luckily, I took a deep breath and realized that it is just life and I must enjoy it 
And by the way….I was 10 min late…LOL I guess everything was just great, but they did call me later that day and asked me to come back in a week. So I scheduled for 3:30, that way I would not have to take time off from work, but I would have to miss track practice. I do not like to miss practice, but certainly easier. I was driving home and realized that I would be on Spring Break, and I can just go whenever I want to go, so I did call back and change the time to 9am. I like getting things done early and out of the way.
So on to today and what a great day! Andrew and I signed up to run a 10K (6.2 miles), I e-mailed D to ask if he would like to run. Turns out he already signed up…silly me, I should have know because like I told him, he has become a fun run junkie! But I do love it. We got to the run this moring and it was 42 degrees out there….just bitter. We wanted to find D and start the race with him, but it was very crouded and there was just no way we could find each other. They shot the gun and we were off. I finished the race and waited for Andrew, then we both waited for D. Andrew and I almost missed him, which is so silly because we kept saying that it would be ridiculous if we did that. So as we stood there, all of a sudden he walked up and said “hey”, so yep we are dorks and missed him crossing the finish line. Everyone survived the cold and the distance and we all did great!! I amazed myself….I ran at a 7:08 min/mile pace…that is just insane! I did not even feel like I was going fast. I do not remember the boys exact times but I believe Andrew’s was around 7:50min and D’s was 11 min. When we finished we met K, at a little Mexian restraunt for bruncher! Ok bruncher is breakfast, lunch and dinner combined. We made up that term while eating. The boys got these monster burritos and D said last time he had one he did not eat for the rest of the day because he was so full. It was just so relaxing and enjoyable to eat and chat with D & K. While there I mentioned that I might be getting arthritis in my hands. They ache alot even when I am driving and running. D said that I might have carpal tunnel in my hands. So he did some diagnostic tests while we were at lunch. Turns out I do have carpal tunnel. It is not too bad right now, but I guess if my hands gets worse I will have a proceedure done. For now D, got me some wrist braces to wear when I drive to help with the discomfort. I even got to see their office because we had to go there and grab the wrist braces. It is is cool office. And we got a picture of each other finally!! So here were the first picture of our Memorable Journey!
