It is almost time for us to go to LA to meet our Intended Parents!! We leave tomorrow night and will stay closer to the airport, then Friday is our big day! I am excited for us to have a kid free night before we go! Yea for jacuzzi suites! I am getting more nervous about meeting the IP's. What if they travel from the other side of the world and hate me? I worry that they won't like me wanting to work out during the pregnancy, or that I want to wait until after my 5K to get pregnant. They have been waiting so long already!! I am trying to trust God that these are the parents I am supposed to carry for and that everything will work out, but it is hard not to have doubts!
I am trying to get everything in order for our trip.There is so much to do! I am making a schedule for my mom for the kids and their activities and then I have my dogs to consider as well. They have their own schedule and routine! I owe my mom big! Our plane leaves Sacramento at 9 am and we won't return until 9 pm. Then 2+ hours of driving home! It will be worth it though. I have such a strong feeling that this is the couple for us!
I keep hearing horror stories from other surros about their IP's but I am confident that these people will be wonderful! I keep reading their profile over and over and think I have a good feel for who they are and they immense support they will have to bring their baby home to. I will not be disclosing any information about the parents so that their confidentiality is up held, but I hope that you all would hold us in your thoughts and prayers that we have safe travel and that it is a good fit and instant connection! I hope to have good news to report upon our return!
It has been really hard to keep up with school through this process. I am so distracted by nerves, doubts and anticipation that I struggle to stay on task and pay attention. I hope that I will focus better once I am officially matched! I know that there will be new issues that arise with becoming pregnant and then the pregnancy myself, but I think that knowing that I have people who have my back and are rooting for things to go well will help! This week has been especially hard. As I am trying to get everything in line, I am preparing a presentation (on self care of all things! LOL) and trying to think about 2 papers that are due soon. There is so much to do! I cannot wait for spring break in a couple of weeks!
Here's to a great match meeting and a smooth journey ahead of us!
