Things have been crazy around here and I've been really bad at giving updates on my upcoming donor egg IVF cycle. I finally have a transfer date..... this Wednesday, the 6th of November. Eeek!
I've got my tickets booked to fly to the clinic and now I've just got to get my parents up to speed on Frostina's routine. Lucky me, I was able to fly to my parent's house last week so I can leave Frostina with them while I have my transfer done. The Hubby has to work out of town this week so if it wasn't them then I would have to hire my once-a-week babysitter for 3 days straight, including overnights. She was happy to do it, but I have no idea how much that would have cost me.
Probably less than a flight to the US, but my parents are absolutely loving all the extra time with their granddaughter so it's all worth it. Plus I don't have to worry nearly as much about her. All I have to worry about is staying sane and not freaking out too much between now and Wednesday.
I'm sure I will update you more this week since for at least a few days I won't have a super busy toddler to wrangle. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to a plane ride without someone climbing all over me? One where I can actually read a book and watch a movie?
I'm doing my best to stay positive and am operating on the philosophy that this will work and in a few weeks I will be getting a positive pregnancy test, and after 9 months,,,, a healthy baby brother or sister for Frostina. Fingers and toes crossed.
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.
Yes, fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI'm very hopeful for you, MNN. I'll keep my fingers crossed too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes! Time to read and relax without a toddler climbing all over you does sound very nice. You enjoy that.
Best of luck to you, I hope everything goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that was quick!! Or at least it seems so to the outside observer. I'm sure it felt much longer for you. Praying for an easy transfer and, of course, a successful cycle!
ReplyDeleteI've got everything crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are looking forward to having "me-time" in a crowded airplane on a transatlantic flight!
ReplyDeleteHoping so much that things go well for you.
If a toddler ends up in your row, consider it good luck. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes and everything crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes today! Hoping it all goes smooth.
ReplyDeleteHoping everything went well. I will be thinking of you during this stressful time. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
ReplyDeleteI was blown away to find out the delivery was accomplished by a two-person crew. Everything was put in place, items were reassembled, and the crew even offered to relocate furniture once I'd gotten a sense of how the apartment was organized. brisbane airport transfers to sunshine coast
