It's been a long time....

Wow I don't even know where to begin! This journey started in April and now here we are in August. I really have been slacking, maybe from lack of motivation or I have three children to take care of. Either way so far my journey has been fast paced and very exciting. So her is the run down of what has happenend since my last post....
So we were matched with an amazing couple out of FRANCE!! The matching really only took about a week and that was so exciting! I had been in the process for about 1.5 months and it took the 6 months to find me!! I can't believe all the testing and such that they have to go through, but I believe that it is probably for all who are involved best.
I had to take the DREADED MMPI test to see if I was sane and with 3 kids I was just hoping and praying that everything was good and it was! I am officially not crazy okay by their standards that is!
Then came the fun part contracts and medical testing. The good part is that I get to go to LA for my transfer and all the other wonderful testing. I actually enjoy CA!! When I went to LA for medical testing I didn't get more than 10 feet away from my hotel and was yelled at by some "crazy" person walking... rule #1 never show a weakness and I didn't I just starred at him, I guess that's what happens when you grow up in such a rural location with so many animals!!! So medical testing was great and the Dr. told me that I was an ideal surrogate! I am so excited...
So it was a little slow for awhile but now it starts to speed up so keep concentration....
So in July I was suppose to call with my first "start date" (all you ladies may know what that means) and I do. I was suppose to get my meds and start on BC but instead they throw me into starting a cycle for a transfer... woo this wasn't suppose to start until August! So I put the brakes on call my IF's, my case worker they clinic etc. I feel like I am alerting the calvary of what is happening and we get the cycle stopped in time... sigh.... and then I take BC for 10 day and I have to call with my "start date" again... really my body is screaming at me at this point!! I really wasn't that bad but I hate my dreaded Aunt when she visits.
On the following Monday of me starting I start injections, yes injections right in my bum.... Thank goodness I had some help. Casey is the one that gets to do this wonderful part!! I will have to take pictures of these needles that he gets to "stab" me with!! Good thing he has had practice with this, thank GOD for his practice with medicating cattle!!! Okay but it's true it actually hasn't hurt once yet, no crazy side effects and I am just a little tired the next day after injection. As of today we have injected 2 in the right cheek and 2 in the left overall a good time!
So tomorrow I have an ultrasound to see if my uterus is ready for next Friday... I told you to keep up!!! I will be transferring in LA next Friday and I am so excited I just need a couple of prays to make sure everything goes smoothly and that we are right on track.
I can't express how excited I am for this upcoming journey of helping someone else, it's my calling right now and I hope that all that are reading this will support me. If you have questions or would like me to answer a specific comment send me an email at fix.ariel@gmail.com

Sorry this was so long but it's been a long time since I posted...
