Big news, folks.
It’s officially our donor’s Cycle Day 1.
*squeeee!!*
Team Zoll: Houston? Are we ready for launch?
Houston: Mission TZ3, you are cleared for launch. Begin countdown sequence.
That means tomorrow, she starts in on her box o’fertility drugs, including the many, many needles. I sent our friend a little note of encouragement this morning:
🙂
And, because I have this sitting on my desk, I thought I’d share this hilarity. Here’s a picture of what our genetic child might have looked like:
We took this in a photo booth back on July 27, 2008. (I only know this because it was date stamped.) This was a good 8 months before I was diagnosed and well before I knew anything was up. Even after all these years, we’ve held onto this photo. Bittersweet, yes – but we’re definitely at a place where we’ve moved beyond the grief and now this picture is just creepy, weird and funny to us.
If this photo was to be believed, it seems our kid would have ended up looking like a half-Japanese Justin Bieber.
Happy Hump Day, folks. I’m off to watch the iPhone event and wait for my clinic to call me back regarding this morning’s ultrasound results. Today is shaping up to be one excellent day.
Mission: Team Zoll 3 is officially a go!
Hope your cycle s going well, thinking of you.
Yay! SO exciting!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy. Nervous. Overwhelmed. Proud. Grateful. You’d think that I was going through this process myself. Following you every step of the way. Good wishes to Team Zoll and your Donor. Big hugs to you all!
I adore that photo, and your description of it! Thanks for the giggle!
