Is it just me or did that title make all of you start singing Christina Perri's song A Thousand Years??? (Sorry not sorry...love that song!)
It has been a couple of weeks since my last post y'all! Sorry about that, but I have quickly learned throughout this journey so far that some steps go by quickly and others require some patience and time. It's one of those hurry up and wait situations ;) Over the last couple of weeks (since matching) the guys and I have been texting, skyping and sharing pictures with each other. Getting to know them has already been such a wonderful experience and so so natural. It is a great feeling to know that conversation does not feel forced or awkward at all!
After matching I had to schedule a psychological exam. With the 4th of July and our family going out of town it took some time to find a good day for me to get this scheduled. On Friday I was able to take my test and heard back today that I have been cleared to move to the next step! Woo - hoo!
What's next???
Well, I received email today from the Fertility Clinic that it is time to schedule my medical screening. Due to me using an IUD prior to applying for this journey I need to wait 3 months from removal before I can go out for my screening. At first I was bummed because I feel like 3 months is an eternity and I know the guys have already been waiting a bit, but when I discussed it with them they assured me that 3 months was nothing in the grand scheme of things. My IP's said it best when they said " it's going to be a journey, maybe sometimes it will be quick or not, easy or hard, but it will be an amazing one"
After more thought, I remembered too that my oldest starts Kindergarten next month. This wait time allows me the chance to get her ready, ensure that I do not miss out on her meet the teacher or first day of school and can get ourselves in a steady school routine before Ian and I need to go for our 2 day trip for our med screening.
This journey is still really just taking off and already it has been such a positive and beautiful experience. I can not wait to share the next steps with y'all sooner than later :)
Happy Monday, Friends!
