Okay, so since my last update, I've made some serious progress in this process! I've had a 2 hour phone consultation/interview, filled out and submitted what feels like an endless amount of paperwork, completed my surrogate profile, had a video conference call with the agency and now today, I'm just getting home from a 2 hour blood draw. Y'all, they are not messing around with the lab work they request in your initial screening. They drew my blood FOUR times this morning (one time didn't work, it was only supposed to be 3), testing for everything from Vitamin D to thyroid levels and also a lovely 2 hour glucose test. It's been a long six years since I've been pregnant, and I must say I had forgotten how awful that orange beverage tastes. Bleh!
Anyway, I don't have a whole lot to report... but hoping blood panels come back normal and I'll be on my way to Los Angeles in 2.5 weeks for my medical and psych evaluations. It's getting really REAL! I'm supposed to hear back from the agency within the next two days with a potential match, cross your fingers it's a winner! I can't wait to figure out who I will be helping make a baby! :) Let's do this!!
