Sadness for Ivy

So we're going over our contracts once again so R can read over it and get them signed feels like this should have been done by now. Was reading Ivy's blog and was so sad to hear about what a terrible journey she went through, I learned two things from this though:

1st I'm not going to feel guilty about not lowering my fee to "help" out my IP. I have struggled with this idea over and over and have been back and forth with the idea of giving him a break. I always go back to this idea of what's the price of free. FREE. It sounds so callous maybe but you value something that you invest in.

2nd I am very blessed to be working with my IP. He may honestly get on my nerves sometimes because he is so cautious and over protective but better that than uncaring.

So that being said, for those of you who have followed Ivy, and if she is reading this I am very sorry for all that you went through and a lesson for us all. Thanks.

Hotlanta!!!..

Here we come .....well already went. So it's true we made our way to the dirty south ya'll. We flew in on Sunday and R took us to dinner at the coolest restaurant. It was called Two Urban Licks a very interesting warehouse restaurant that had amazing food! It had this fantastic view of the skyline and we went just as the sun was starting to set only adding to the great ambiance.... By the way R we already said yes. So then Monday was a whirlwind.....blood drawn,...ultra sound (to make sure lining was good),....to meet with Dr,...meet with nurse,.....lunch,...meet with crazy doc. My head is still spinning. All in all though all was good, we are a go and we are still waiting to sign a contract. Next step certainly, I think everyone (the attorneys) wanted us to go through this initial round of Dr visits before we signed . That's all for now on our end R has to finish his profile and start searching for an egg doner. Momma shopping good luck!!
