It's official!

No match for me. I knew it was coming already and so it's not a surprise but still to finally here back from them still stings a little.
Maybe they had talked to the RE's nurse and she told them the RE may not approve me? This could be the reason why I haven't heard from them in days. Why when I did get a reply last week sometime it was very short and nothing informative? I don't know.
Either way their RE said no as she things having 7 babies is too many. This sucks as my own Peri says I am ok and the last RE (Dr. Sher and Dr. Fisch) said I was ok and even did my testing to show it. It is what it is and I can't fix it. I am proud of it. Five of the seven are babies are from surrogacy.
So here I am again looking. I know I will find another couple just wish it wasn't so hard. Hopefully my next post will be of good news.

Waiting.....

So I am still waiting to find out if I am officially matched or not. I really like this couple but there have been a few things that I thought were worked out and ok but are now back in the talks and not so ok.
Working on insurance isn't the most fun part of being a surrogate. I sure wish that insurance co. Would be more open to surrogacy and understand these couples have been through so much all ready to have a baby that adding these stresses isn't right.
We should all be able have coverage no matter who is keeping the baby at the end. Even an adoption is covered but because we planned on having one then it's not.
So until we hear more I guess we are in limbo and I may have to keep looking too. I am not even sure if their clinic will approve me yet. Waiting for the RE to get back in town and review my records.

In other news. My daughter's baby shower in April 30th. I have lots to do and plan but I just have to wait to do most of it in a couple weeks. My co Host is so busy right now with her grandpa in in the hospital with a broken hip, now replaced.

So will see what my next update brings. lol

A New Meeting

I have some news to share. I am going to meet a new couple. They are coming from California tomorrow. I have sent my med. records to their RE and we are waiting for their approval. 

We have agreed on all the important things and are looking forward to getting things going. 

I shall share more once all is "official". 

Feeling close

So lots has been going on. I am not a year older. GULP. I still feel younger than I am and I believe I look younger too. What do you think? I'm the blond. The other is Merinda my second IM.

Merinda came to town to visit me for 3 weeks. It was a lot of fun having her here. We went to Disneyland and just had so much fun. I so enjoy our visits with each other.

For my Bday my last IM, Keiko sent me one of the most thoughtful gifts to get. I got this book made for a child created by surrogacy. She changed the names to fit our's and added photos of her son inside. It really was so wonderful. She plans to read it to her son when he is old enough to start understanding. He is 14 months now. If that wasn't enough she sent me a Tinker Bell shirt for my trip and tinker bubble bath. Then when I got back from my trip I came home to a gift card for a massage and facial at my favorite place.

I have been feeling close to being matched and hope to come report about it soon. Don't want to jinx it now but I think it just might happen. Keep your fingers crossed.

Katy is just over 27 weeks pregnant with my granddaughter. So things are coming along on that. Can't believe how fast it's coming up.

That's all for now.

Feeling a little left behind

It's weird how things work out sometimes. Here I thought of doing another surrogacy about a year ago. Got matched fairly quickly and quite easily. Then after the loss and then the hope for the next cycle, to only be told it was over before it started. I felt like things were going to go just as easily. I was wrong. It hasn't
Now I am still looking (not long in some eyes) but when you are see 2 of my friends whom weren't even really looking now matched (by me) and trying to get pregnant later this month. I feel left behind. Wondering why and what I is to come.
Some of the worst part is replying to adds and either not hearing anything back or to hear back asking you things then nothing at all. It's just rude! I haven't done this to anyone and I hate that it happens to me. I ask that no matter what their thoughts are at least let me know. It would be nice to know that I am not what they are looking for or that they are going to keep looking.

A New Year

So as the New Year approaches, I am thinking of how I hope things will be. My hope is to help one more family and I am sure one day that will happen. I am just waiting for the right couple/or parent to find me or me them.
Next is to see my husband get some better opportunities. He has made some great new changes in his life and it's time to see how things can improve in the employment fields.
For Katy to have a healthy baby girl. Her name will be Khloe Giselle (not sure how to spell the middle name) but it's Chason's grandmother's name and she was a Holocaust survivor. It was quite the debate on that one but thankfully they came to a conclusion.lol
I would like to see Brittany to continue her education. She was doing so good but then when her ITT school moved across town it made it more difficult for her to travel there.
I hope to see my grandson Tristen to continue to grow and learn as he is such a great boy. He is so good with acting out movie themes. He is only two but seriously can act out scenes form Lion King, Monster's Inc. and even UP. lol
The rest is for my family and friends to have love and peace within them.
May you all have a wonderful year and find your dreams to come true. Happy 2011!!!

The Holidays!

So how many have been shopping and baking? I have been baking and preparing my sweet gifts. This year will be a very rough one but we are blessed with having our family here with us and to share our love with. This is the best part.
Katy is over 17 weeks pregnant now. She has an appointment next week. She will have a great u/s and hopefully Chason (daddy) will get to join her. She and I went to do some baby registry stuff. So many cute things out there. It seems each year they get better things.
Brittany, has had her hands full with Tristen. Wow 2 years old and he is quite the temperamental kiddo. Yikes!! He is really funny though and has the best imagination and remembering how movies play out. I will have to catch him on film so I have proof of it. Thing is he hardly ever does it on command.lol
Surrogacy has been in slow mode. Sometimes I feel I may be trying too hard. I even asked my last couple to rethink things out. I am wondering if I shouldn't have done that as now I haven't heard from them. I hate when I stick my foot in my mouth. I should have just let our friendship be that and not push for things.
I also got a great gift from my last surro babes mama. It was picture of both the ip's and my surro babe with my bff's last couple and surro babe. It's so amazing to see how big they are.
Well, if I don't post again before Christmas, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
