Results and updates

Today we had great news that all our blood results were clear and we are able to proceed with the surrogacy. YAY!!!!!
Hubby and I are going to stay in San Diego for the night to celebrate, Can't wait.

My IP's are going to be here February 21st and I am beyond excited to meet them. We have been emailing back and forth so we can get to know each other better. We always include what foods we enjoy, where we want to go when they come to the US, all about their excitement to become parents again, YES, they have a little girl already she is 4. She was born at 6 months and was very little and Laura experienced an extremely hard labour and delivery. Laura then had to get a hysterectomy so that's where I come in. I can't wait to carry a baby for them. They are such genuine people and deserve all the happiness they can get. IS IT FEBRUARY 21st YET????

Medical screening

Ultrasound 

So I had my medical screening done today and good news, everything looks perfect.
I received a pelvic exam, an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries and a Hysteroscopy, which is a small camera that goes in through the cervix and into the uterus and fallopian tubes to check for cysts and to check the pathway is all clear for when the embryos are transferred. My husband and I also got our bloods done.








The thought of having the camera part done was really scary, but I didn't feel a thing (except for the damn clamp), other than that things went very smoothly.
It was actually really exciting seeing inside the uterine cavity, and it came right at the perfect time while I was doing the reproductive system in school (training to be a nurse). So I got to see everything up, close and personal. I loved it!

Back next week for blood test results.

Camera

All equipment for the medical screening.

Psychological screening

So I passed my psychological screening. This process is to ensure that I will NOT want to try and keep the baby in the end.

I was evaluated with a series of questions online along with a phone evaluation - which took 40 mins.

next step...medical evaluation.

Officially matched

Its official.
Laura and David have officially chosen me to be their surrogate. We are a match.
The agency sent over all their contact details so that we can email, text, Skype or even write.

Skype meeting complete

I LOVE them!!!!!
Laura and David are perfect and I can't wait to be their surrogate.

We talked for so long about how we met, how they met, why they are using a surrogate, what our hobbies are, children's names, their home town, EVERYTHING. Even a mention of boy baby names, which just happened to be "Martin," Martin had a little tear in his eye (they didn't even know my hubby's name yet). It felt so right.

I no longer feel nervous, I feel like this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing. They also let us know that they will be in San Diego in Feb... I can't wait to meet them in person. Everything is going so smoothly and perfect.

Skype meeting

Today is the first time I get to meet my potential IP's Laura and David (these are the names I am using to protect their identity as surrogacy is illegal in France).
Martin (my hubs) and I are meeting at the translators house, so we can meet them. I am so excited, but so nervous. What if they don't like me? I have so many things going on in my head. argh.......

The Phone Call

Just got a phone call from the agency...
A french couple has chosen me.
I am so excited, I am speechless and I have no idea what to say.

Can't wait to view their profile and meet them (via Skype).
