Good news....for me at least. I get to stop all the medications this weekend! (singing) Oh happy dayyyyysssss!!
Set up the first OB doctor appointment for April 5th. Neat little story about that. Like I said before I had to take multi steps just to make the first OB appointment. Yesterday I turned in all the paperwork and sat down with an intake girl to make that appointment. So I have 3 choices of places I can go for care. At first I try to set up the appointment at the last place I was seen for my surrogacy and I tried to get my same doctor as last time who I loved. But he was not available for many weeks. So I asked about the other locations and she said one of them is staffed with Midwives. Now if you really know me you know that is right up my alley. So I was excited to be seen and taken care of by midwifes. So the women pulls up the list of available midwives and up comes this name I recognize! This midwife/nurse practitioner used to be my Gynocologist and I absolutely loved her and was so sad when I heard she had left the main doctors office. So of course I made the appointment with her. So I envision the first appointment with her remembering me and me so excited to see her...... I'm delusional, because she probably won't have a clue as to who I am, but I can pretend right ;)
I decided to start a blog about my surrogacy journey so my friends who always ask me "don't you want to keep the baby" can see from start to finish 'how it really is not about that, but so much more'!!

I'm here...
Sorry for the break in writing. I have not felt the best lately. It is not for the lack of what to say more that I come home from work, shovel some food in and then pass out. I have the first trimester tiredness and nausea going on. Not complaining, just telling you like it is. Upside is (always an upside) only a few weeks left of the first trimester, and the really good news is, the food that goes in, stays in ;)
I went in last week to start the process for my own OB appointments (yes I am done with the IVF doctor). The funny requirement that my OB doctor has is you need to take a urine test to check for pregnancy before they will even talk to you about OB appointments. So of course I had to go in and do a urine test. So when they handed me the paper that said positive, I wanted to shout out "WHAT, I'm pregnant, I can't believe it". But I held back.....
Until next time, with ginger ale in hand.....

I am doomed...
I am doomed, went to the store today and bought not ONE but TWO cakes!
Oh and I must mention my first craving. Let me start by saying I eat a pretty healthy diet. No red meat, a lot of vegetables and not much junk food and very rarely soda. So what sounded fabulous to me the other day.....a coca cola! and it was soooooo good! I am doomed I know it!
Last appointment with the IVF doctor and last ultrasound tomorrow with him as well (Notice how I did not mention last of the medication,still have a few weeks of that to go)! I have been trying to put up the video from the first ultrasound but I am having no luck with that. I will post a picture at least.
I'm off to stare at the cakes for a while....
