pleased for this week to be over

This week was kind of stressful for me. On Monday, I decided to call and make an appointment to see a high risk OBYGN doctor. I was able to see the doctor the same week on Friday. I thought it was going to be away til I could see him, but the person on the phone squeezed us in.
Tuesday at work I wasn't even there. My mind was so scattered because of this upcoming appointment. I literally couldn't function. That evening we went to the temple, but still my brain was in law-law-land. After there was this calm feeling that I felt and I knew everything was going to work out.  The next two days came and gone. The next thing I knew we are on our way to our appointment. At first we went to the wrong clinic, and again wrong place, but the third time we found it. This made my nerve elevate a whole lot. I was praying the receptionist would allow us to still be seen, she told me to have a seat and relax. So, I did exactly that.
This is what the doctor said...
There are a few tests to see if my immunosurpressants have or haven't affected my eggs and to check certain levels. After we have performed those tests, then we can decide to go through with surrogacy or maybe to choose another route. We also found out that if what we have is good and has a high chance getting us a baby, they can freeze our embryos for years. After we harvested my eggs and have an embryo we can have our surrogate pregnant within 6-8 weeks. There is a bunch of legal stuff that we have to figure out and counseling to find. In the end the appointment went well and there is a chance for us to have our own baby through a surrogate. I am very excited!!!
This weekend we went down to St. George with my parents to look at some houses and to see Steve's gma. She is the bestest 93 year old out there. Love her so very much. The best hostess, the sweetest and kindest, sometimes a wee bit sassy, one of the funniest, she can't really see anymore, and Gizmo is her best furry friend.

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

Chalk It Up as a Miracle.........

Some of you may know, but Ashley went through another Heart Transplant yesterday. After her first first new heart started to fail, we re-listed on the her on the transplant list immediately. We knew getting another heart would be a long shot, but we wanted the option to be there if a heart came available. Sure enough 18 hours on the list a second heart came available that was a perfect match for Ashley. Ironically, it took 4.5 months and then 2 hearts in the same week. We, including the doctors, are all chalking it up as a miracle. It was decided not to wait to see if the first heart would handle the load she would need but rather to move forward with the new donor heart. Going through a transplant a second time makes you really feel for the family who lost their daughter, sister, spouse and friend. We are grateful again for the family and the individual who choose to give life. We were in quite a predicament and feel only divine intervention could hav...

FOREVERRRRR

I know it has been a while since my last post and I have been debating to post for the past 3 months. I was hiking with one of my friends and we were talking about my blog and adoption. I said it is sometimes hard because the main reason why I started this blog is to be my true self.  I know I have been talking about surrogacy and adoption and the that jazz. But sometimes I feel like I am putting on this persona that isn't me. I want to be real with all y'all still supporting me on this wild crazy adventure. So the main reason why I haven't posted is because there hasn't been any big news. I remember posting something about enjoying normal life once I got out of the hospital and yes normal life is great. But define normal life? No one's life is normal! It is more like chaos. Steve and I (mainly Steve) our redoing our new home we bought back in May and let me tell you it has been a whirlwind. Hoping to be in the house by mid September. We are back in the garage...
