Time is actually moving

Well, not much new going on yet.  So sorry for being such a bore!  I will be going for more testing sometime this month.  My coordinator will be letting me know the timing of that fairly soon.  Then we will get the results back from those and then hopefully I will get my calendar noting all the important dates and medication schedules.  I just really can't believe it's December already.  Time during the holidays just flies by, which is a very good thing!  :)  I was worried I would be staring at the calendar as each day dragged on. 

My middle son broke his arm at about 9am the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  That threw a wrench into my hubby's last day of deer hunting...oops!  He is doing well though.  It really hasn't slowed him down, which is a good and a bad thing.  I don't think it really phased him at all, unfortunately, since he still tries to climb and jump off everything he can.  He is ALL boy, that's for sure!  Ugh, I hate to say it, but I feel this is just the first of several broken bones that dear child will have! 

Here's to December flying by, but still enjoying all the wonderful time with family during Christmas and all the gatherings that go along with it.  Ciao!

It's been awhile

So not a whole lot going on right now.  I have chatted with my IF a couple times.  They have been really busy with work and the time difference makes it a little difficult to meet up.  Halloween, my absolute favorite holiday, is behind us.  We had a ninja, Tigger and a zebra in our house.  Trick-or-treating went well.  Brad went with us for the first time...thankfully!  The boys got more candy than anyone needs!  I have tried to limit my consumption as I'm 3 pounds away from my first weight loss goal of 11 pounds.  I know that doesn't seem like a whole lot; but, I love seeing the pounds drop on the scale each time I step on it!  I will have to celebrate WHEN I meet my first goal.  It actually brings a smile to my face when I step onto the scale now!  Never thought I'd say that!

My next goal is 15 pounds, so wish me luck!!  I just want to get down a bit before we start cycling and starting meds after the first of the year.  Many women tend to gain a little weight from the meds, even before getting pregnant.  I hope that doesn't happen, but want to get a little "lighter" beforehand so if it does, I won't freak out!  :)  I'm just soooo ready to get pregnant!  LOL!

Chatting!

I have emailed my IF today for the first time.  He is so wonderful!  His English is pretty good, thankfully!  Finally getting the "go ahead" to speak with my IPs since the contracts are signed is great.  This makes me even more excited than before.  I look forward to getting to know them and them getting to know me and my family.  I'm so happy right now! 

Well...

Well, got some not-so-good news yesterday.  My coordinator called to inform me that D&S would like to wait until after the holidays to begin the process...............   << crickets chirping >>....I know!  I didn't even know what to say.  What could I say?  I mean, it's their baby so I have no choice but to wait.  It's just so hard to wait.  I can't believe they are willing to wait that much more.  I understand traveling from Italy would probably be cheaper and less hectic after the holidays.  So, we are looking at a February transfer date.  Now that really seems like a long time.

Wow

The contract has been officially agreed to by all parties!!  Now, we need to initial all 46 pages of FOUR copies of the contract.  Uh huh, that's right - 184 times!  Man, my initials are going to start looking "wrong" after, like, the 20th one.  :)  Initialling and signing the contract is on the agenda for now.  Then we send the copies back to the agency and move on.  I'm so excited!  I also now have D&S's contact information so we can talk, skype, email, whatever and they have ours.  The 6 hour time difference will be a bit of a challenge, but we will work with it!  I'm so elated to be moving forward finally!  I'm sure D&S are as well. 

Oh, by the way, since I haven't said it in awhile: Thanks for following along!  I really appreciate your comments as well.  Don't be shy.  Comment, ask a question or just tell me how your day is going!  :)
