And.....

It's POSITIVE!!!!!    Wonderful news!  J&M are over the moon!  Beta is 58.6, a little on the lower side, but that can be for a variety of reasons, and we are anxiously awaiting the 6 week ultrasound.   It was really great being able to tell my sister personally because M. did not have access to his work email on results day, and I was copied on it from darling Neha at SCI.   I am so happy for my sister and brother in law.   The scan will allow us to hopefully freely celebrate, it is so early in the process.   I wonder if anyone involved in surrogacy or with infertility ever takes a positive result for granted, or if we all have this feeling of cautious optimism?  At any rate, J&M's surrogate is PREGNANT!

This is a bit of a delayed blog, I forgot to hit the publish key!   We are in the midst of our move to Big Dallas, and I've been a bit all over the place.   This is such a happy time for our family, and this news is the icing on the cake.

I hope that everyone is having positive news.

Eggs a coming...

Egg retrieval set for the 11th, we're all hoping that J&M's donor is doing well and full of wonderfully developing follicles.   Next step is the selection of the Surrogate.  Should have the profiles in the next day or so, but I wish we could just ask Dr. Shivani to pick the best candidate based on her endometrial lining and "child birthing" hips.   In reality, we all know the hips don't play as much of a role as the lining, which is important when it comes to implantation of embryos, still it's one of those things that we think about.   I have excellent child birthing hips, but still ended up with c-sections.

Our kiddos are still down in NC hanging out with my parents and J&M.   J&M are so amazing with our kids and I know that they are going to make excellent parents.   We have some news on our home front, we are moving from Maine to Dallas, TX at the end of this month, so we have a flurry of activity going on at the house, yard sales, purging of junk, and I start packing today.  Movers come on the 18th, and we depart Maine on the 20th to go pick up our kiddos and make the long drive down to TX.  

Very busy time for all of us!  Hope that everyone is doing well.
