The Big Week

I have a lot going on this week. I have my first OB appt. tomorrow which I am glad, but I think it will be weird as well. I need to tell them about these awful headaches I have been having. I am having them all the time. Migraines and just regular (painful) headaches. The weird part will be telling them that I am a surrogate, pregnant with three babies, but the next time they see me, I will only be pregnant with one. My husband and I leave on Thursday afternoon to fly out to LA and the procedure will be performed on Friday morning. One thing that really helped was that I found a forum that had posts from ladies that had fertility problems and had undergone IVF. They were either facing a reduction or had already gone through the procedure. I can only imagine how much more tough a decision it was for these ladies because these were their own children. I just want to say that I don't feel as guilty as I have recently. I truly am looking forward to moving on. I got to hold a sweet sweet baby at a friends baby shower yesterday and I can't wait until I can provide this baby to his/her new parents. And I also can't wait to hold the little one. I am so glad that I won't be taking the baby home and having to breastfeed and wake up at all hours of the night to feed him/her. Exciting times!!!

Good luck this week! I'll be thinking of you...

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well at your OB appt and you don't run into any judgemental boobs!!!

Hey gal, I have been thinking about you alot lately (and yet I really don't know you, lol). I hope that this week goes quickly and that at this time next week you will feel normal again. I can't imagine being in your shoes. I am so sorry about the nasty headaches! Maybe it is due to the stress of the upcoming procedure? If so, hopefully they will subside afterward. {{{HUGS}}}
