9 days ago we were in LA for an exciting event. MONTHS of planning finally culminated into this one event. Hours had been spent arranging the various schedules and timing necessary to make this happen. Bringing together 1 egg donor, 1 surrogate, 2 hopeful dads an IVF physician and his staff.
The event itself was undramatic. A few days before our IVF doc had done an egg retrieval and fertilized the eggs with semen from TP and myself. This day, after months of waiting and hours of work, the procedure took less than 10 minutes, not including the bed rest for our surrogate. We spent the next day killing time and getting to know our surrogate and her daughter better and then reluctantly put them on a plane for them to return to their home.
Today was the end of one chapter in this long story. Today was the day we discovered that Melinda, our surrogate is indeed pregnant. Earlier this week, in honor of TP's birthday, Melinda did pee on a stick and as she suspected it would, it turned. We were patient until today's lab test which did confirm what we already knew.... we are officially pregnant! The question is.... one or two?? We will know that in a few weeks.
At the moment, it is time to reveille in the moment... WE ARE GOING TO BE DAD'S!!
Just a simple guy with a lot on my mind. This Blog is an attempt to not only provide others some insight into me, but also for insight into my self.
