The surrogacy process is going well. The couple I'm working with has decided to switch Reproductive Endocrinologists (RE). This will end up being a good thing because we will be able to move forward more quickly now. The new RE has been much faster to respond to questions and work on scheduling.

The next step for me is to review the legal contract with my lawyer and then wait to hear from the clinic about my travel and appointments.

In other news, I've been working a lot over the past few days. The website is getting better all the time. I will probably try to take the kids to do something fun in the next couple days.

Tomorrow, L is going to the dentist to finish getting his crowns. He wasn't scheduled until the end of the month, but he spent all night crying due to pain and now has swelling and a fever. Poor boy! I'll be glad to get the dental work done and hopefully we will be able to maintain his oral health better from now on.

See his swollen face?

The boys and I have had a pretty normal day today. It was nice after all the traveling.

I decided its time to start paying attention to my diet and exercise habits again. I guess a year long break is long enough. I got up at six and walked/ran with the dog 1.5 miles. Then I had some scrambled eggs. I'm going to cut a lot of carbs since that seems to make the most difference for me. I only want to lose about 10 lbs, so it won't be too hard.

After that I started reformatting a book for IPI. Then the doorbell rang and freaked me out - no one ever comes to our door. I had forgotten about the physical I was getting for my life insurance policy (for the surrogacy). When that was done, the boys and I did a 20 min Turbojam workout. I gave them gems for working out with me since that seems like a responsible choice to make.

This afternoon I worked some more while G took a nap and C and L worked on cleaning the basement. Now we are hanging out in the backyard. Mr. Millipede Man is searching for bugs and the other two are watching.

All in all it's been a nice day.
