After months of looking we have finally found a new place to live. What a huge relief!!
When we found out back in March that we were going to have to move I wasn't worried. We had until July to find a new place which I thought would be plenty of time. As it turned out, this house hunt was not nearly as easy and stress free as when we first moved to London. It got to a point where I was starting to worry that we may end up homeless. I'm sure all the hormones I'm taking for my mock cycle didn't help my stress level either.
I finally connected with a relocation woman who showed me a bunch of places and guess what? We found something!! HOORAY!!
It's still in the same part of London we're in now, albeit a bit farther away from the high street. It's also bigger than this place and has a much bigger garden (backyard for you Americans). It even has a garage which is practically unheard of here in London. Not that we have a car at the moment, but I'm overjoyed to actually have a place to store all my junk!
We have a move in date of June 10th which gives me less than a month to get ready for the big move. Even though moving is a huge pain in the ass, I'm so happy to have one less thing to worry about.
Plus this means we will be all moved into our new place before we start our donor egg IVF cycle. So I won't have to worry about moving when I'm (possibly, hopefully, please let me be) pregnant.
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
I am glad that you have found a new home, if you would like any help with the move just ask. Hugs X
