A Post For My Fellow Bloggers

Ok...so I know that many of you have been unable to comment on blogs! Thanks to a fellow blogger and her friend, I think we may now have the answer.  I copied her post here for everyone to see...

The blogs that I am still unable to comment on have the "full page" setting for comments. Those who have the "pop up window" setting, I am able to comment on. I have changed mine and would invite some of you to consider changing over! There are SO many of you that I've been dying to comment on how excited I am for you, how cute your belly is looking, how glad I am that you are sharing your story, etc.!!

To change: Go to the SETTINGS button. Click on the COMMENTS tab. About 3 settings down you can choose POP UP WINDOW and SAVE. Voila! Now Jeni is a happy camper and can talk to you again!!! I know we are all on the same page and want Jeni to be a happy camper, right? RIGHT??? LOL!!

Anyway, I thought I would share just in case this helps!

Just a quick update

I talked to *I* today and he said that he has recieved the draft of the surrogacy contract to look over.  Woohoo!  Progress!  So looks like HOPEFULLY we will have contracts signed by this week or next week.  Yay!!!  *Happy Dance*

Nothing New

Unfortunately I don't have much to post about today.  We've been matched for 3 weeks now and still haven't started on contracts.  Grrr.  We've been working on the insurance and legal stuff some and last I heard, the contracts were being drawn up so hopefully it won't be too much longer.  The guys and the egg donor had their screenings done and hopefully the results from that will be back very soon.  As long as everything is ok with that, we are supposed to be starting meds around the beginning of July and transfer around the end of July or beginning of August.  That's pretty much it.  Hopefully we can move on to the good stuff soon and I will have more to post about.  Hard to believe I am looking forward to having to give myself shots every day...LOL. 

Match Confirmed!!!

Just got back from L.A. a couple of hours ago.  We had a great time with the guys.  They are absolutely perfect and we clicked immediately.  I am so glad I went with my gut and didn't go with any of those other IPs I was matched with.  Even though this has been a much longer journey than I ever anticipated, I wouldn't change a thing b/c I know this is right where I was meant to be.  This couple is more perfect for us than I could have ever imagined.  I feel so lucky to have gotten such a perfect match.  We hung out with them for a good part of the afternoon and talked forever about everything.  They are so down to earth and easy to talk to and we have so much in common, besides our last names...LOL!  It was so funny when we went out to eat and they asked for a last name.  We just kind of looked at each other and laughed.

What are the odds?

Ok, how crazy is this? Both of the IFs I am going to meet have the same last name as me! What are the odds of that?!? It's crazy enough that they would both have the same last name, but to then get matched with a surrogate with the same last name. So crazy. And one of them has a mom named Paula, that is my MILs name...LOL! I saw it on the itenerary they sent me and assumed it was a typo. They e-mailed me back and said that it wasn't a typo.  It just blows my mind to think about.

Quick Update

Pretty soon I will be off to my last match meeting.  I can't wait to get it over with.  I think I've read over their profile like 10 times.  I wish there was some way we could communicate with them before the match meeting.  We fly out to L.A. for the match meeting on May 12th.  Seems so far away but I'm sure it will go by pretty quickly.  Especially with us trying to get ready for Mother's Day, Alyssa's 4th birthday at the end of May, and our 5 year wedding anniversary at the end of May.  Plus several more birthdays coming up in June and July, including my baby's 2nd birthday.  I love spring and summer!

New Profile

Well, I was starting to think it wasn't possible.  That I was never going to find that perfect match.  That it just wasn't going to happen for me.  But GG sent me the PERFECT profile today.  I was in tears the whole time I was reading it b/c I was so happy to have finally found them.  I am so excited to meet them and get this show on the road.  They are around our age and just live in the next state over.  Woohoo!!!!!!  I am SOOOO happy now!  Thanks everyone for your support, it means the world to me.
