~2 more sleeps......~

Hmmm... Where to start.....?

I thought I would make an attempt at blogging about my life and my surrogacy journey so that my IP's and their baby will be able to look back on this and know what transpired on my end...

To make a very long story short, I will start at the beginning, but make it brief..

As you might have read in my profile, I am currently employed as an Egg Donor Coordinator with a company here in Canada... this is only relevant because of how I met my IP's, P&M.

P&M are a same-sex, married gay couple.. they came to Canada in the Summer of '08 to meet both myself and my mom, Joanne and discuss our companies and how we could help them become parents.

We knew they were looking at other agencies, but that has never been a concern of ours - we always hope that our clients will choose us because of who we are...

So - low and behold, they chose to work with us for their egg donation and surrogacy needs... imagine my surprise when I felt that instant connection that alot of surrogates feel.... exactly like a light was going off in my head ... telling me this is the couple I needed to work with...

I should back-up and say that I have an adorable 3 year old son, C and an amazing husband, D. I never thought in a million years I would do a surrogacy so soon. I knew at some point I would be a surrogate for someone - just didn't know when... 'D' wasn't very open to the idea until we had finished creating our own family - which I typically agree with..

But P&M aren't any 'normal' couple... they were going to be my couple, and I knew that from the moment I met them - cheezy, isn't it?!?

After much discussion with my husband, and him doing his research - he agree that P&M should be the couple we help.

that kinda brings me to today...
So - HI!

I am currently 2 sleeps away from the amazing - TRANSFER DATE!!!
P&M are hopefully keeping their mind off everything, skiing (I mean, snowboarding!!) in Austria... I really hope they are relaxing over there since the next 2 weeks are going to be dreadful.

I have SO many different emotions inside me... scared for the unknown, excited at the thought of them being pregnant - becoming parents, amazement at the fact that medical science has come this far.... but mostly I feel joy - joy at the aspect that P&M have so much trust in me, in 'D', in my extended family to help them become the parents they can't wait to be....

With that - I will end this post... and post more on the day of transfer...
Tonight - 'C' is at his grandparents house for a sleepover... so I need to go and enjoy the quiet that is my house for one evening... :)
