Whoops! I didn't come back to update! So a brief recap. Last I left you with was I had my appointment with the midwife. Well, the day came and I headed to the office. I was more nervous than I've ever been! In fact, when they took my blood pressure, it was 130/80!! Okay, that doesn't sound horrible. But my normal BP is 100/60. So I was even more freaked thinking there's no way I'll be approved now! Well, my midwife came in and we chatted about surrogacy. About the risks of pregnancy, about her concerns with me postpartum, but she took the words out of my mouth when she said, "So do you think it was actually PPD or more like, 'wow I'm now responsible for this little person and I have no idea what I'm doing!' kind of overwhelmness?" (Okay she didn't say overwhelmness, haha but you get the idea). So yeah, that's exactly what it was. So then she brought up Clomid and the risks, and if I'd been in my right mind I would have pointed out that I won't need that since we aren't using my eggs. Shew! So after a good long talk, she filled out the approval form!!!
So next step, J sent my profile to a potential couple, and they liked what they saw. I looked at their profile, and they are exactly the type of people I was hoping to help. To complete their family. But I won't say much about them, for now, because we're still in the feeling-each other out stage. In fact, we're going to schedule a phone call this week!! EEK! I am NO good on the phone, so I hope I don't say crazy stupid things! I need a script. lol Hmm, maybe I should start writing one out. :)
So that's all for now. I know this is rushed, but it's late and my bed needs me. Until the next update!
