Moving along

So things have been going really fast for us now! After the trip basically we had to get everything together to start the process. Originally we had come up with a date that would work for us. It was very convenient being the first week of Christmas break and my mom was coming down on her way south. After having everything set the clinic realized that the week I wanted to do it the doctor is out of the office so we had to either do it the week before or wait until after the holidays. The first thing was making sure we could get the contract in place in time. We have to have everything wrapped up prior to starting medications. Also there has to be a period of time for the process. So after much consideration we decided to do it the week prior which means we had to figure out what to do with the kids. We decided we would pull them out of school for the week before break and let them go to Ohio to spend time with family while John and I go to Portland. After all this we came to the best decision we could. Then it came to the contract once the agency got it finished it went quick I had a lawyer that got me in fast for a phone appointment so we wrapped that up very quick. When getting ready to sign the contract I had to print it out and have a notary to sign a few pages. About half way through the printing of course I ran out of ink. Had to run to the store and get more but we also had a limited time because it was Saturday and we had to get it done before 3 when they closed. We finally got it all done! Now once the guys get their's done we will get legal clearance so we can order medications and get a concrete plan in place. I am getting more and more excited!

First trip over!

Well I went to Portland this week! The biggest thing is no more hour or two flights it takes like 7 to get there. So one day trips are impossible. I was on 5 total planes in two and a half days! The trip went well! The hotel was nice even though I arrived there at 11pm their time and we are 3 hours ahead of them so I was exhausted. I also learned no more flying through Dallas/Fort Worth. That airport is crazy and hard to make it where you need unless you have 2 hours. I had an appointment on the second day early morning. The doctor did all the test and said everything went smoothly. He said I am good to go for the transfer. I then met with the coordinators where we went over all the paperwork and records that I would need. We also discussed the calendar and medication they use. I found out that I can plan it around my schedule. The first time we had to go on the egg donor's schedule due to using fresh embryos. The last time there really wasn't an option they just told me when to start. That may have been in part to me not asking about choices. Well now we just have a few things to get together and the contracts and we will be starting the medications! I am excited!
