It's been a while... Surrogate Side

Hello world!  It's been a while!  
In my defense, not a whole heck of a lot has happened. 
Just a bunch of waiting...

That said, let me explain the waiting game.  Given our latest failed attempt at getting the super-cute Chuck a sibling, we were faced with some obstacles that needed attention prior to moving forward.  

For this past transfer, we used the remaining embryos that were frozen from our successful fresh transfer in April of 2013.  Due to the length of time from when we first started this surrogacy process for Charlie-man and our attempt for baby #2, some FDA testing had expired.  New testing is required before fresh embryos can be transferred. So, K&J got on it and had their testing completed just a little bit ago.  

K will be meeting with the IVF clinic to get her new protocol for the egg retrieval and then we'll determine the schedule for the next transfer.

Given the upcoming holidays, we are thinking that we'll shoot toward a transfer for either January or February!  Let's see if 2015 can top how awesome 2013 (we got pregnant!) and 2014 (we had Charlie!) has been.  

WooHOO!  I just can't wait to not have my period anymore...

In the meantime, I will continue to live it up during this holiday season and enjoy every moment with my little lovies while they are still in awe of the magic of Christmas.
