Ok, so I flew out yesterday morning to San Fransisco for my lining check and blood test. They also gave us our date Oct 3rd! A day before my Grandpa's birthday! I am soooo excited! I woke up at like 3:30 am to get ready and my dad and brother drove me to the airport. I was SOOOOO nervous... I haven't been on a plane in 8 years! I was having a panic attack in the security line... I finally made it onto the plane and it was horrible. I am so afraid of heights! The whole plane was full except for one seat! The seat next to me! I made it through and was so excited to get to the airport. "O" picked me up, it was great timing too! He thought he was late, but I think it worked out perfect.
So we go to the appointment and I went in by myself...we knew the ED was going to be there and didn't want anything to be awkward. The appointment went well and they went over the meds with me again. :) The nurses are great and Dr Z was so proud of me for losing so much weight! 11lbs so far! :) I left the appointment and we were heading to San Jose to grab some lunch.
We parked in front of Panera and O tells me he got me a present :) So I was so excited! :) Then he starts to tell me that he doesn't want me to think he is weird, but he wasn't sure of what to get a surrogate. He gave my 2 orchid seeds that are to represent the 2 embryos we are transferring. He said they are mine, but he will keep them and grow them. When I give birth we will trade. When they start to flower I can always remember the family I helped start....and how beautiful it is. :) I tried to not cry. I think it is an amazing idea... We had a wonderful lunch and I got to know so much more about him...where he came from, his family. I can't think of anyone more deserving of becoming a parent.
We left to the airport and said our good-bye's. He was worried I would be waiting too long, but I said it was more important for him to get back to work! Which it is...he will need more time off later! :) So I waited in the airport...finally boarded...started listening to my iPod and was bawling the whole way home! I just think it is so awesome! :)
How amazing is it that I have such a good relationship with them? I fly back out on Sunday to transfer on Monday! Then I will come home Tuesday afternoon. :)
