With only 3 more days until the embryo transfer, I sit here in reflection of each and every step of this amazing journey. Applications, interviews, phone calls, e-mails, forms, home visits, psychiatric evaluations, meetings, Dr. appointments, attorney's, contracts, medical screenings, ultrasounds, blood tests and several weeks of medications and injections. All of it makes up this incredible journey but my favorite memory, hands down, would be the day we met our Intended family....
Meet Roi, Shahar and Bar
I remember it like it was yesterday. Tears rolling down all of our faces...the most perfect and amazing meeting, any of us could have ever imagined. We immediately knew that we all came together for a very special reason. There were no doubts, only joy that we were going to become a part of their Journey to Happiness!!
I absolutely love that they send me pictures of them out on their family adventures!!
102 days have past since that meeting and we have enjoyed sharing our days, weeks and months with each other. Sharing pictures and vacation memories and learning about each others culture, our families, our traditions and what makes us who we are.
Now with 3 days until the transfer date, I am on the most medications I have been on at one given time and my body is trying to figure it all out.
The fear and anxiety is coming over me like a ton of bricks at times. What if this doesn't work the first time? Not only with Jake and I have to deal with all that would come with bad news, but that times a million for Shahar and Roi. I want nothing more than for this to work out for them. To give them a gift they have been waiting years for. Although this is their first try with a surrogate, they have had 15 failed attempts. I hope that this will be their lucky #16!!
Please send sticky thoughts our way and keep Shahar and Roi in your thoughts and prayers!!
