my beautiful child

well that's not really what this blog is about but I'm just looking at him and makes everything that I am doing right now seem worthwhile. I started filling out the egg donation paperwork and it just kept going on and on and on so I took a break. I'm almost finished though just have to write down my brothers and grandparents medical information. It's a lot of stuff and I'm probably going to have ask for some help which I didn't want to. I wanted to keep it kind of under wraps until I actually got the call that someone wanted my eggs. I don't know a whole lot about my grandparents medical history so there's no other way to get it, I guess. I got all the other questions answered though, I hope that Ethan being born a little bit early isn't going to change anybody's minds because it wasn't his fault it was my body's fault. Oh well, my next baby will be born whenever the doctor says because it will be by a scheduled C-section so I don't have to go through labor again because I guess I am not built to have a baby the natural way. I really thought I was going to be okay with that but I kind of feel like my body failed me. People ask me why I would want another baby after going through what I did to deliver Ethan but I just tell them, look at me now, look at my son, and tell me why anybody would decide not to have another precious gift from God. We are okay, we are healthy and happy, there's nothing wrong now (cept for the few extra pounds around my mid-section lol).

interesting opportunity

hmmm...so Doug came across something that could be a great opportunity for me and us. It would help us out by giving us some extra money and it could help a family with infertility problems finally have the precious baby that they've always wanted. Well, he ran across a job posting for an infertility clinic in Jacksonville that is looking for people to be egg donors. It would include a lot of doctor's appointments and we would have to learn about injectable drugs and how I could give them to myself or Doug could give them to me. Then, I would have to go in for a minor operation to retrieve the eggs and I would walk away with $3000 and knowing that I was hopefully going to give a worthy family my eggs that would help them have a precious gift from God, a baby! I love my Ethan so much and I can no longer imagine life without him. I wasn't trying for a baby when I got pregnant with him, but God decided it was time for me to meet my child! I really feel that this is something that God has called me to do. I feel in my heart that He would like for me to do this for a family that has exhausted their options and are spending who-knows how much money to get this child. Even though the child would technically be an extension of me I feel like God chooses whoever His children go to. I'm hopefully going to get all the paper filled out by tomorrow (because there is a ton) and email it back to them and then they will get back to me for an STD test and a pap smear. It's all anonymous but after that testing and if everything comes back clear, which it definitely will since I've already been tested like 900 times while I was pregnant, a couple will get to look at my profile and see my questionairre that I fill out. If they choose me, then I will start taking another 3 weeks of birth control (or in my case the NuvaRing) and then I will go off of that and do 7-10 days of hormone therapy shots. After that is the minor operation to remove the eggs. If they like the eggs, I may be able to do multiple egg retrievals. So, I've got to get all the paperwork back and then the process begins...
