Getting anxious

Well, I started my new job Monday the 11th. I got to "shadow" on thursday and saw a lot of interesting scenarios. One scenario in particular made my "baby" urges really come out. I so wanted to adopt the baby and take her home with me. Hopefully we'll be getting the paperwork soon from Cooper to start our testing. I wish they'd hurry up!

More embryos

I got a call from Carrie about Cooper Center today and we have now added 3 more embryos to our 4 for a total of 7 embryos! We were able to add batch 472 which is Italian/Polish/Slovak. These embryos are at a 5cell, 6cell and a 4 cell and none of these embryos are refrozen. Carrie is supposed to send another consent form for this batch which we'll have to have signed and notarized and mail back. Than we can move forward and start our testing!

Well, we got the forms all notarized and mailed out today! Woohoo! Very very exciting! Tomorrow is Adam's 13th birthday! His dad sent him a Nintendo DSi and a Ipod for his birthday. He is one very excited boy!

Today we received the consent forms for the embryo batches that need to be notarized and mailed back. The reservation fee for the embryos has been paid now also. Next step is to mail back the forms and contact the nurse coordinator to get the list of testing that Jon and I will need to have done.

I needed a picture of something "cool" to help cool me down. It's 101 degrees outside! ICE! I need ICE!

I received my new medela pump in style advanced today. Yeah!!! On a different note, Jon found out that his position has been "rifted". Luckily, he'll be able to go work at the base pharmacy. The position change won't take effect until the end of July. He'll still get his same pay for 2 yrs which is great. I on the other hand was able to extend my resignation notice by 2 weeks. ( i was offered a position before it was technically approved, and well, it didn't get approved). But, I have a back up plan and will do contract nursing after my two weeks is up. To top it all off, we had to buy 4 new tires for my car! Oh, glorious day!
