They told us not to...

And really it wasn't us. But we knew going in that at-home pregnancy tests are not reliable, and the only thing that really counts is the blood test that's coming up on Friday. Can I tell you that I AM LOSING MY MIND?!

Well-I mean, not really losing my mind. But I'm cautiously optimistic.  Our surrogate has a bit of an obsession with at-home pregnancy tests. She's been taking them, well, come to think of it...I don't know how soon she started taking them.  We do know she started seeing hints of a positive result starting on Saturday, 3 days after transfer day.  So here we are a week later and the lines on the tests are getting darker.
We scheduled a video call for LIVE results. The 2 minute wait was CRAZY (its says YES+)

We're staying cautiously optimistic.  In the meantime, we're waiting on our power to come back on after severe thunderstorms tore through Georgia, Tuesday night around 9pm.  We lost power about that time and the latest update for power back on, as I'm writing this, is 10am Thursday.

Severe storms caused power outages for several hundred thousand people in Georgia alone. 



 I'm personally counting this as a, "Spring cleaning of the fridges and freezers." But honestly there's a lot of food that will be lost and I will be SUPER unhappy about.  What I started to think about while lying in bed last night was, 'What do you do when you lose power with a new baby??' Then I thought about my parents and how they dealt with me as an 18 month old on Long Island for hurricane Gloria, so its got to be fine.  It was definitely keeping me up last night. As was the anxiety of when and IF the power was going to come back on and by the early morning hours I was stressed about the food in the refrigerators.

It might be a dine out kind of night.

National Coming Out Day

I totally didn't even realize today was national coming out day! We took a picture to mark the occasion.  A lot of people post and share their stories today.  Sharing their struggles and their triumphs over the hurdles, or even walls, surrounding the ability to live their truths.  Dustin and I have very different stories of our coming outs.  He's been living his truth for just about a decade before I came out to my family and more importantly to myself.  Coming out is not for everyone and today is certainly not meant to give you anxiety about coming out or not. You might find yourself in a variety of situations; from being a public personality, a conservative family, your own fears and so many other possibilities. Its not always easy.  For some, yes, its easy, you grow up in a family where you know without a shadow of a doubt that you'll be accepted for who you are.  We know, better than most, that its different for everyone.  Most of all, you do you, we'll be her

Week 24: Viability...

A lot has happened in the last month...seriously A LOT. "So why did you wait so long to post, Ryan?? "  Because I was busy!  Schedule changes at work, pushing hard to get our renovations finished, baby showers, renovations, traveling...so much happening. Let's start with travel....I don't want to bury the lead story here. We went up to Wisconsin for our 21 week anatomy scan.  Dustin flew up on a Wednesday for the Thursday morning appointment. Unfortunately July is a big vacation month for my department, and save for asking co-workers to change their vacation plans with their families...I stayed behind. It was going to be hard, but I kept telling myself that its just pictures. I will have the REST of my life to spend with Beastie.  This is a cool appointment, but its just an internal photo shoot.  What really sucked was that they wouldn't be able to shoot any pictures or video in the ultrasound room.       Fast forward to the morning of the appointment.  I tex
