Impatient

I was hoping to hear back from the clinic today to schedule the first initial consultation with the doctor. They had responded to my email on Wednesday, asking me for a few available dates in late September. I replied on the same day but have not heard from them since. I have been told by other surrogates and IPs that this clinic is very slow in getting back to its clients relative to other nearby clinics. However, I have heard nothing but great things about the doctor so I can be patient for now. With the Labour Day Weekend upon us, I hope to hear back from them on Tuesday.

I have advised my GS "C" that I will contact her once I hear back from the clinic so I can book our flights to Toronto, Ontario where the clinic is located. Her flight will be much shorter than mine as she lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. My ED "D" lives in near Toronto so very little travel for her. This was purposeful as I wanted to select a clinic near "D" since she'll have several appointments with the doctor prior to egg retrieval. "C" will be monitored in her home city and then fly in prior to embryo transfer.

This is all quite exciting. I think once the consultation is scheduled, all of this will feel even more real. I'm going to try to keep at least one foot on the ground until I finally have my baby in my arms. Keeping it real but also enjoying the journey.

Thank you for letting me share part of my world with you.
