Well a few things have happened since my last update.. I have been meaning to update for sometime now I just haven't found the time. On March 31st, Thomas and I went for our first visit with the fertility couselor- Leslie Murphy. She was great and so reassuring that every feeling I was having was completely normal and made us feel so comfortable. Our next appointment will be on Tuesday, April 14th. Paul and Lacy will first meet with her and then all four of us will meet with her as a group. We are extremely blessed that Paul and Lacy are so open and that our line of communication has been open both ways since the beginning making this process much easier. Houston IVF now has all of our records from our first office and we could not be more happy with their office. They are night and day difference from our first office. Lacy will possibly have to have one procedure redone before starting everything up again but otherwise we should be good to go. Originally Lacy and I were on different cycles- about 10 days apart. When you are doing the surrogacy route they want you and your carrier on the same cycle. I was due to start around March 20th.. well days came and went and no period. I assumed maybe I was going back to my original schedule, which I would have started between the 28th-2nd, well that didn't happen either. I started on Thursday the 9th and Lacy was due to start on the 10th-- How does that happen, by the grace of God!! I called our nurse, Jessica-- who I absolutely love and told her it looked like we were within days apart. She called in birth control for Lacy and I and as long as Lacy started by Saturday, I would start my BC on Saturday and Lacy would start Sunday night. Last night was my first night to start my pills and Lacy called and said she wasn't sure if her pills were called in or not because they weren't in her pharmacy bag. Of course I went into panic mode- but really had no reason too. I called the after hours number who contacted the on-call nurse and she called me within 5 minutes and was so sweet and called in a prescription for Lacy... fact is we never had that promtness with round 1. It just reassures me that we have made the right decison by changing offices. We will have more information on time frame when we go in on Tuesday. The first round I was on birth control before starting my stimulation medicaitons- if that is the same we will be looking at early May for retrieval and transfer. As most of you that know me, know how much I believe in signs and reasons for everything. Well with round 1 I promised myself I wouldn't start buying any clothes or baby stuff until we knew we were pregnant and everything was a go. Well I couldn't help myself and I did buy two outfits... one boy and one girl... Crazy thing is that they were Valentine's day outfits. One has three hearts on it and the other says, "Most eligible bachelor".. Well here I go reading into it.. So if we transfer in May, we would be looking at a February baby-- just saying!! Unfortunatly there are no guarantees and yes we fully understand what we are getting ourselves into. We are looking at more money and possibly still leaving empty handed.. I just can't give up when I know I'm not quite ready too. Thomas and I agreed for our piece of mind we would try one more time and see what happens. No matter what God has had his hand on all of us from day 1 and he will not leave us now no matter the outcome! Thank you to our continued support system, we would not be where we are without you all! Great thanks are in order to our parents- who have stood by us since day 1. Our friends, you guys know who you are-- you all are too good to us and we are beyond blessed!! A huge thank you to Wendy Froman, for helping us make the right decision and guiding us through this!! God is good all the time and it doesn't mean good is always the outcome but he will be there!! So as I have said before hang on.. here comes ROUND 2!! Ding ding ding!!
