Well Matthew and I are trying to get over our first Colds of the season and trying to prepare for our pending trip to the US of A to make us some embryos!
I can scarcely believe we have reached this point. This evening we spent 30 minutes or so webcamming with Norma and talking excitedly about the trip. This really is a dream coming true for us. And it's unfolding so fast I can hardly believe it! This time next week we shall be in the air somewhere over the Atlantic heading for New York. That's exciting. But what is "take my breath away" exciting is the prospect that two weeks from today we could be making some embryos, which could, four weeks from today be showing up on Beta Numbers as a pregnancy. I can honestly say that the excitement is building ... and building ... and I am terrified about the height this excitement could reach.
Work have been fantastic and everyone knows I am leaving next week on the "Baby Mission" as it has been coined around the office. Sweepstakes have started on the gender(s), all of the ladies in my office argue regularly about the number (twins, singleton) and the gender mix should it be twins. My good friend at work Aparna (who has two adorable boys but she is desperate for a girl however has decided her baby making days are done) is convinced we are having a girl or girls and has told me on a number of occasions that she will be picking our daughter up on a Saturday morning and taking her shopping and to do girlie things with. Aparna's dad was the CEO of Air India and she has travelled the world and has impecable taste, so I am pretty cool with the idea!!
I am so excited to see Norma again and to hang out with her. It's amazing what good friends we have become and I truly believe we will remain friends for the rest of our lives. I am excited at seeing Sharron and the team at CFA again. I just wish Circle were a little closer so we could visit with the fab team there too.
Well I better sign off now. It's time for my hot medicated lemon drink!
Brett
