armpants,congrats on the medical clearance! How long will the legal crap take? Have you spoke with the couple again since your first meeting? How are you feeling??? Tell us ALL the things! My case worker said the contact can take several weeks to several months. The IPs draft it with tree layer first and sign off on it, then it comes to me. We review it and then have a chance to review it and ask any questions with our lawyer. Once we're okay with it we sign and move on to transfer. I'm hoping that since they've already done a contact it won't take long, they said something similar. We've emailed a few times, but haven't gotten too chatty yet. I don't want to be too forward until getting a positive beta since they've been through this before and the previous surrogate never got pregnant. I'm really excited and looking forward to moving forward. I'm guessing the earliest a transfer could happen would be beginning of August, but we shall see. The waiting is hard, but knowing there's only one more step is heartening.

armpants,fill me in on the history, s'il vous plais. Hope all goes as planned. I have not been sleeping well, N keeps ending up in the bed and he is horrible at bed sharing, he kicks and thrashes. And wiggles. i tried putting him back in crib motn, but he insisted he needed more boob. I broke the seal on screens and now whenever he sees tablet he squeals weeoo. He wants to watch earworm music bulldozer videos.

We aren't going to talk about how J was up from 1 until 4, when he got put in our bed. We also are not going to talk about how I raged on MH after he was bitching about trying to get him back down for only 15 minutes when I had been doing it over 2.5 hours. Nope. NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.

vern short version is at the beginning of the year I decoded to pursue a thought I'd had for a while of becoming a surrogate. Found a company I liked, applied, got matched, now waiting on legal before the big step.

I am in a funk. I need to get myself out of said funk.
I go to St. Pete beach for 4 lovely days in July with just H. That time can't come soon enough, it will definitely help with my funk. And i am pretty sure the funk is all stress related and based on how i don't' have time to do ANYTHING for myself lately.
At work yesterday I was training the new girl - for the 2 hours she sat with me, I had 5 issues with 5 different projects that i was juggling phone calls and emails for, installers calling for information, building departments needed clarifications, new projects starting, and normal interruptions from other co-workers. She was completely dazed and said she didn't know how i did it or kept everything straight. I might have said, with lots of post it notes and wine. AND that was just 2 hours out of my day. A typical day. It's no wonder i need a vacation. Or why i don't like making decisions anymore.
tl;dr: i'm stressed out and its due to work. and i'm being a cry baby.
