2/3/2010 11:55PM CST: It has been three days since the embryo transfer. A lot of posts we've read mentioned that this 2ww (two week wait) is one of the most anxious and stressful times throughout the process. So far, it actually hasn't been bad. We find ourselves inventing ways to keep ourselves more occupied to not get caught in a pitfalls of 'what if's' and 'what nexts'. I have been working ridiculously long hours, going to the gym, reading, blogging... Robbie has been cooking elaborate homemade dinners, working, and keeping the house far cleaner than I've ever seen it. Anything to keep ourselves from becoming idle and beginning to let our thoughts wander...
It's interesting that throughout this process, many professionals had been surprised by how close we are to Jessie. Our impression has been that most intended parents are selecting a surrogate as a business relationship, and are not at all personally engaged with the surrogate. As first time intended parents ourselves, we were very fortunate that we spent a great deal of time discerning the right surrogate arrangement for us. We could not have asked for a more appropriate match for us, and are very fortunate to have crossed paths with Jessie (also a first time surrogate). This journey has been interesting, comical, amusing, and very dear to us - all stemming from a match that was right from the start.
Getting back to the 2ww (two week wait)... So we feel we made an appropriate match with Jessie in this process, and trust her guidance. Knowing this, how could we be overly anxious and stressed? We are excited about a positive beta test, if not now, then sometime soon, and we know everything is being done to reach that point... In the meantime, we acknowledge that there are things no one can control, and we just try to enjoy this journey.
