Surrogacy-What an Adventure!

It has not rained much here in Houston this year, but recently the rain has come.  And with that rain came a few minor changes to our journey.   On Wednesday, March 18th, I had a check up with Dr. Heard and all was just wonderful.   No problems, no worries we were right on target.   Well the next day I get a call from K and she had news from Dr. Heard.   The egg donor was leaving for a work convention in Dallas.  She was scheduled to begin her stim for the cycle on Friday, but she did not think she could make a doc appointment over the weekend.  So that would push us back two days.   This is not a big disaster but it was disappointing.  We did our best to work out the transfer for a Saturday and it was looking perfect, but now it would push it to a Monday.   It is only two days, but the Saturday transfer was nice because none of us would have to miss work.   With it being on Monday, I will have to miss two days of work because you need to be on bedrest for 24 hours.    In addition, now my sweetheart is not sure that he can take off and come with me.   He is so important to me and a huge part of this, I will be ok, but sad if he can not come to the transfer.  

I went to see Dr. Heard again yesterday and I had a sweet surprise when I finished the examination.   D & K were there!!   I already knew that K was going to come but I had no idea I would to see both of them.   They are just so cool     I am not sure what is with Thursday calls after my Wednesday appointments but today came another big rain drop….K called and said that the donor did not show up at her doc appointment and she could not be reached.   This was upsetting news and I was shocked so I was not even sure what to say.  I felt terrible because I just wanted to help K, as I know she must have been going crazy inside and very upset or worried.   I could not get it off of my mind at work, but luckily K called shortly after informing me that all would be fine and they talked to the donor.   The donor will just have to go in tomorrow morning.   This was a relief but I guess I am still on edge just a little bit.   Plus, I am upset that someone could take such an important situation so lightly.   This is the biggest thing that will ever happen for D&K and I do now want them to be upset or hurt.   I guess it might be hard for the donor to understand every aspect of the situation.   It might not be easy for her to see, but it effects me the surro who has been on med treatment and taking time to get things done and also it effects D&K, who have hopes and finances poored into this journey.   I really do not mean to judge or be rude, I just like to share all the ups and downs of the journey, it is reality.   Things do not magically run smooth with those rain drops.   I also do not mean to sound rude or judgemental, after all we all have bad days.  Maybe the donor had one herself.    Ok enough about that because as I said in my heading there is always “Sunshine through the Rain” .    I am still every excited, and the transfer is less then 2 weeks away!!  Yipee.   I am still very positive and trust that God has a great plan   So look out April 6th!! 

This week has just been rough for me in the classroom.  I am certainly glad that tomorrow is Friday!    It has also been a rainy week, but I hope the rain is over because I do not want my son’s baseball game to get cancelled.  

Oh for fun, here is a link to my recent photo show…
