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!  :) 

Then...Yay!

My IF (intended father) has been traveling this week so they haven't had a chance to have a final look at the contract.  They are expected to get back to my coordinator Monday.  Then, THEN all four of us can sign the contract!  Yay!  Then I get to have some medical tests done.  Ugh, yay...  Then hopefully the results are good and we can THEN move forward to aligning my cycle to their egg donor!  Yay!  Then it's needles and wonderful shots in my hiney!  Double yay...lol.  It's coming along.  Yep, sure is.  A bit slowly, but we are managing! 

Spoke too soon!

I just received an email from my attorney on some counter offers to the contract.  He said I can deal directly with my coordinator or wait until he returns!  YAY!  YAY!  YAY!
