A little update.

Well, we are "almost" on the NEDC wait list. Waiting for some bloodwork to come back (hopefully today), and then we're on the NEDC wait list. But we're also simultaneously pursuing the Bethany track. We've been filling out paperwork and watching educational videos. If you are interested, this is a REALLY good video about embryo adoption. Just 30 minutes: http://www.cedaeducation.org/general-public/snow-baby-film-premier-2.html. I've also made an appt. with the fertility doctor here to have a consultation. Turns out, their success rates for frozen embryo transfers are actually HIGHER than the NEDC rates (depending on a variety of variables). That was very reassuring. However, I still think, given the chance, we'd prefer to go through NEDC because it is a Christian organization, but their wait list is just so discouraging. So, we're trying to follow where we feel God is leading. Once our paperwork is complete with the Bethany embryo department (hopefully end of week), then we can start working on a match! In the meantime, the Bethany home study will proceed on a parallel track. We can actually be matched BEFORE the homestudy is complete, which is very cool. The matching process is going very quickly right now through Bethany because there are so many donors, and fewer recipients.

I was asked yesterday what my perfect timeline would be for this transfer. I think 2 months from today would be a realistic/ideal goal. Mid-April to end of April.

And, in the midst of it all, God has been keeping me wonderfully distracted. Work has been crazy busy, which I don't mind. Less time for idle wandering and thinking. Personal life has also been joyfully chaotic. So the embryo adoption seems to be swirling like a satellite in my life. Just don't have time to dwell on it, which I actually prefer.

And then this other strange distraction is that I still have not gotten that elusive monthly visit. Over a week late, but not preggers. Where or where did Aunt Flo vacation this month?
