MENTAL HEALTH

So, I have not posted in a while and I apologize for that. We are now on the list for Donor Egg since December and are now up to #50 on the list! I expect we may get a call later in the year and I am ok with that. Since Christmas, M and I have been on a lifestyle change as we both needed to lose a good amount of weight. I have lost 17 lbs and M 22 lbs. M has been so great and shops 3 to 4 times per week and prepares wonderful healthy meals with lots of fresh fish and veggies. I could get used to this. We go the the gym 6 days a week on our new protocall and I admit it has become something I look forward to because it makes me feel better. Any weight I can lose now will only be better for me when that call comes in for DE!

Next wednesday, we go to our mandatory psych visit. This is required for all donor egg recipients. Guess they need to make sure we are stable and can handle this Life Choice. I admit at first it wasn't easy to wrap my head around the idea. I am ready, M is ready and when the time comes I just hope it works. I don't miss the disappointment of a failed cycle and the rollercoaster ride of a BFN.

Spring is arriving, the birds are nesting and I saw the prettiest momma cardinal with the biggest belly yesterday! I look forward to seeing my big belly some day with my little one nesting inside me.

I promise I won't stay away so long next time.
