This is blogworthy, so I'll blog about it!

For the last year I have been on a journey to become a surrogate. It's been an easy journey thus far. I did a slew of medical exams, psychological tests and of course got matched with my intended parents. My intended parents are all that I could have asked for. When I began this journey I wanted a couple that I could connect with on many levels. When we met for the first time, it was like I had known them all my life. They treat me with the utmost care, and we have a beautilful relationship. I was potentially matched with another couple before, but there just was no connection. I'm so glad I waited to find the right couple. Z and L are a Chinese couple in Seattle that have been trying for years to have a baby. After many failed fertitilty treatments and heartache they chose surrogacy as their next route to begin their family. I have been on IVF medications for 3 weeks now. I have been taking Lupron injections (to shut down my uterus) and estrogen patches (to thicken my uterine lining and prep my body for pregnancy). I will start two more medications tomorrow. So far I have no complaints about the meds. I get dizzy every so often but nothing too bad. We are just 5 days away from transfer day! We are transfering 2 frozen embryos. I have basically a 50% chance of becoming pregnant. There is a small chance I will carry twins. We'd prefer just one baby in there though. I can't say I'm not nervous for the transfer. Not nervous in the "am I doing the right thing" sense, but a "I don't want to fail my intended parents" sense. I so want to help them build their family. I want things to go smoothly for them. They have already gone through so much. I have previously gotten pregnant easily, so I'm hoping that this is just as simple. I will be back to update on whether the transfer was successful! Please send prayers, good thoughts and baby dust!
