Drumroll please.... announcing my new journey

This blog has been a long time coming. I've had a few inquiries so I decided to go ahead and finally put this out there.

I met a new set of (fabulous!) IPs in May (met in person in June). They flew out here and we all went out for a great night of good food and fun times. We all really hit it off and were talking like old friends. We had already decided to take this journey together, but that night just sealed the deal.

We did the contract in the summer and anticipated an August transfer, but as is such in the surrogacy world, we had a bit of a hold up.

All the while I kept my emotions bottled up and kept this journey under wraps for the most part. Mostly to protect myself from the enormous let downs my (former)IPs and I went through last time. I didn't want to air each and every step of this journey publicly only to have to come back and say "not this time" (yet again).

Well.... after much consideration I have decided to go ahead and post that I am starting my lupron shots TONIGHT! This means that transfer will be roughly a month away (WOW!). I will have monitoring appointments to make sure that I am responding to my meds and my IM will as well.

I have to admit that although I'm not feeling the same excitement I did the first go round (completely due to the fact that I'm guarding my emotions) I am thrilled to be with this new set of IPs. They are incredible and wonderful, easygoing and down to earth. My IM has brought me to tears with her gratitude. I can't even describe it.

So, there we have it! =) Think positive baby vibes for us please!!!
