Donor Chosen!

Im not sure why I waited so long to post an update about the donor information. Any way it came the day after my last post ( So, Sept. 10, 09). It had 1 baby photo and 2- 20 page medical information on 2 donors. C and I sat in our room and read them of to each-other. After each section we talked about what we liked and disliked about the information and moved on. At the end it was clear who our choice would be. The donor we did not pick had various serious medical conditions in his family. Thanks, but no thanks. So we marveled over the baby photo ( it is more like a toddler photo) of the donor we chose. We were happy, content and excited!

So now weeks after we have chosen we have begun to look at various baby items. We went to a toy store to look for a game and ended up in the baby section looking at car seats and strollers(!!). We have looked at cribs on line ( and one in the store on accident!). C asked the other day if when im pregnant if I will be able to help paint the room. So i looked into it and as long as the paint has low to no VOC'S its safe. Lucky for us the paint C wants to use is the Arm and Hammer paint which has NO VOC'S! The room that will be the baby room currently has red trim so we will primer it and then paint it and the ceiling.

Not much to think about in the next 2 months- except for keeping healthy and keeping the weight off slowly and in a healthy manner.

Sick & Waiting

I stayed home yesterday and today due to flu like symptoms. It was pretty bad yesterday but thankfully I feel better today and will return to work tomorrow.

This past weekend was C and my 4 year anniversary of being together. We were at her Aunts house out near Sacramento, house and dog sitting. She made me breakfast ( eggs and ham, plus blueberry pancakes!!!) It was nice to have a quiet weekend.

On Friday I paid the registration fee to the SB($100) plus ordered medical forms for 2 donors and the one baby photo the 1 donor had ($55). I was hoping it would come yesterday being that we are only 30 mins away from the SB but it didn't, so im in the living room waiting for todays mail to come, although i have a feeling it wont come today either! That is what I hate about ordering things, I can not wait for it to come but it never comes on time or when I want it to!

The other night I had gone to the bathroom and when i came back into the room C was on the computer. As i climb back into bed she says " so..." I thought for sure she was going to say something about the Beetles Rock Band that she has been wanting (which i finally let her get) but she said " I was looking at these cribs..." What! your looking at what! Now dont get be wrong she is so excited to start trying for our little one but I never thought she would say that. So we laid in bed and looked at cribs for a bit. I would much rather buy one in the store being that I hate waiting!

C's grandmother called this morning to see where she has been. C goes over every day and takes her places etc. C told her I was sick and so she was staying home with me " Are we pregnant?" Her grandmother asked C told her No to which her grandmother replied " I thought i was going to get to go to the store and buy blankets and pajamas and bottles and onsies"

See Baby, you have not even been conceived and already people are awaiting your arrival.

A dream is a wish your heart makes..

So I sent in our SB registration papers on Monday and called the SB today to pay for the fee. Plus I ordered the 2 donor history papers and one of the donors has a baby photo, so we ordered that too! They come in the mail ( bummer!) so they should be here early next week. Lucky us the SB is about 30 minutes up the freeway.

I had a baby dream last night. C and I were in our room packing baby clothes to go to the hospital, im guessing that we didn't know what we were having so i was packing 2 of everything. I packed these terry cloth footy pajamas, one in blue and white and the other in pink and grey, diapers, 2 pairs of socks, hats, blankets. The funny this is i was packing this all in

this very large duffle bag we own. It was very real, with my very big belly in the dream..

Papers sent-Check!

So a few months ago C and I decided not to send in the papers to the SB quite yet. Since we will not be TTC in November now I feel like we are behind track! But its okay...I sent the papers in this morning and will call on Friday to pay the registration fee of $100!

On another note our RE emailed me and said it would be fine to start in November instead of Sept. for baby.

Next step.. buy our first vile from SB!
