Sunday "sleep" in...

Every week i look forward to my Sunday "sleep in". Its the best ritual that Kevin and I have going on. He gets to sleep in Saturday and i get to sleep in Sunday.  Yet, let me make this clear  our versions of sleeping in are so VERY different.  In fact i think my "sleep in" doesn't even involve any sleep. In my wildest dreams it would mean that as soon as the kids made a single peep then Kevin would rush them away from my side of the bed and i wouldn't even be disturbed. I'd slowly wake up at ten and be shocked that i didn't hear a sound from anyone all morning. This sadly to say is not what happens.  To be honest that's fine. Instead of sleeping in i have kids trying to break down the door, screaming in the hallway, jumping on the bed, or like this morning everyone jumping on the bed while i try to drink the coffee i made at 730 while getting the kids their breakfast ready.  

At this moment the kids and the hubby have taken off for the park and my real "time off" has started.  I think this is why i don't scream at everyone to "shut the fuck up and leave me alone!"  while they are all crowded on the bed encroaching on my suspected time off. Because i know in the back of my head that they will soon (finally) load up and give me a break.  I don't even need that much time. I just want to shower, brush my teeth,  use the toilette with out a small person  in the room with me trying to flush while I'm still sitting.  

So let my relaxation begin! Happy Sunday!

Better late the never....

I know, I know. Where the fuck have i been??  Well let me run it all down for you :)

First Edens MRI was clear! no need to worry about the sacral dimple.  Its not effecting her spine or any of her functions. YAY!  She has also made some insane development advances in the last few months. Talking, yelling at you in protest, running, and she has started Day care 3 days a week. Those three days give me a chance to clean up the tornado that is Eden LOL. 

Azure is back in school, taking two classes! He is doing great :)  He LOVES Ms. Emjay his morning teacher.  That class is full of structure, routines, and the picture system.  His second class is at the preschool.... That is his "do what he pleases class"... He runs around, plays with the toys, gets outside time.  Its more fun based, hardly any structure. But i really like his teachers.  Since school has started his speech and communication has greatly improved.  Today on this wonderful Saturday we even have his FIRST ABA appointment. I have no idea what we will do or how it works.  im still excited. 

Now on to me. My surrogacy journey has finished all the contracts and we how been given a tentative IVF schedule. We start 10/10.  I keep feeling like i should have a moment of "OH fuck what am i doing" but i haven't. I'm really happy to help my IP's have a family. i haven't had any second thoughts.  Now all the shots that has me a wee bit squeamish,.  The progesterone subcutaneous injection is my greatest fear.  I do have an amazing friend that is a former medic that said she could help me. THANK FUCKING GOD for you Elizabeth! My only other worry was the kids being taken care of while i do all my medical appointments. Our amazing friend Erin is going to take care of azure. The effort that she has already put into connecting with him, has been such a gift. I don't have a single worry about him with Erin. Eden was my only worry. Who would watch Eden??  Grandpa to the rescue!  My dad will take care of her and she gets along great with her  "gmpapaa".  We have my wonderful mother in law Kathy coming for a visit, plus I'm hoping i can get my sister in law Jodi to be in LA with me  for the embryo transfer.  Its all coming together!!
