We had an eventful day planned at the clinic. We all got up early had a small breakfast and were off to meet my daughter to pass the boys over to her. All four of us adults then headed to the clinic. All the ladies working in that clinic were just great! They were all as nice as they could be and a bit on the funny side also. Maybe they just thought my husband and I were funny, but we were all laughing most of the day. We had blood work done, psych test on the computer, psych-educational consult, consult with nurse to learn how to take meds, saline sonogram, and a group psych was also scheduled.
We were shuffled from room to room, person to person, it was a busy day. Let me tell you, these psych test you have to do on the computer, were about the craziest thing I have ever done. I think it was like 300 questions and some of those questions were beyond absurd! All questions you had to answer with a "always", "very likely", "likely", "not likely" or "never", or some variation like that. With questions or statements like "My favorite past time is to watch the high jump on tv." LOL really?? I wondered how many people actually answer always to that? While it was an hour or so of answering some really goofy questions, it was very entertaining.
The two guys had their own pysch consult and then my hubby and I had ours, and the plan was that we were all four suppose to have one with the psychologist together afterward. The psychologist came and told hubby and me that she felt no need for a group consult. All four of us were a great match, we all got along well and had same thoughts and plans. That actually made us feel pretty good although we already knew that, but for a trained professional to see it also, was a little reassuring.
We ended the day at the clinic with the Dr. informing us and the guys that I was in good shape, and my uterus looked great for pregnancy. So we just had to wait for all the blood work to get back and then we would be on schedule to start cycling me and the egg donor together. The plan is to make a fresh embryo transfer as the success rate is slightly higher with fresh rather than frozen embryos.
We went to meet up with my daughter and get the boys back from her. Of course they had a blast with big sissy and her boyfriend for the day, they went to playland stuff, bowling, laser tag, arcade time and Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. We got the boys and followed the guys to a restaurant close to their house, we all had a nice dinner together and time to sit and talk and get excited over the upcoming plans. Made it back to their house and my boys found the piano to play with, and hubby enjoyed a glass of wine and hot tub time. (outside 15 degrees with lots of snow) After finally getting my boys to bed, I enjoyed a little hot tub time with hubby. It was a great end to a busy and fun day.
Saturday we had planned to sight see a bit, new place and things we had never seen before. Lots of great things for our boys to learn about, we were near a city with rich history. We had a leisurely breakfast, and headed to one of the guys parents house. His parents had an suv we could borrow for the day so we could all ride in one vehicle instead of driving two. So the six of us set out for a fantastic day! Our boys really buddied up with the guys. Each boy picking their own favorite to hang with. My hubby and I sat back and watched and laughed as our boys can be handfuls. The guys loved it and had a great time with our boys. We had a wonderful day seeing and learning about some really old history in our country. The boys even enjoyed every minute of it. We went back to the parents house, and all went out for dinner. The soon to be grandparents were wonderful, sweet and very nice. A soon to be uncle also joined us. So we had a large crowd going out to eat together and we all had an awesome evening!
Went back to the guys home for the night, had some quiet relaxing time just talking and watching a little tv for all of us. Off to bed, we wanted to get a somewhat early start on Sunday as we had a long drive home. Sunday morning they guys cooked another great breakfast, we kind of took our time getting going, we really did enjoy hanging and talking with the guys. Our boys just loved them, and did not want to go back home. Finally getting all packed up in the car and ready to head out, we said our "good byes" and "see ya soons" in anticipation of our next arrival for embryo transfer. We were not done the road very long and our older boy who first had reservations of mommy having another baby for someone else says.... "Hey if you have a baby for them, then we will have friends when we come visit again" LOL So now our boys are really excited for the guys to have kids so they have someone to play with when we visit each other in the future. Have to just love the way little ones think.
Our weekend together was a wonderful time and only solidified my thoughts of doing this for these guys! My awesome husband felt exactly the same as I did after our weekend. So making this decision with loving family support only makes it better! I know the four of us are in for a journey together that will only strengthen our friendship even more.
