I picked up my BCP pills yesterday. I start them once my next period comes. The start of the meds! I'm so nervous for all the injections, but I just have to man up!!

Time Outs
I honestly never thought I would be the mom to ever give my child time outs. I’ve seen my sister put my niece on time outs (she’s three) and she seemed to respond well to it. A few months ago she put my daughter on time out, sitting next to her daughter. She honestly responded better than I thought. Of course, with more “practice” she managed to understand why she was sitting against the wall.
Lately she’s been acting up a whole lot (yelling, getting into things,etc.) so I’ve opted out for time outs. It’s so weird because she actually understands that she did something wrong. Of course she still does it, but she can tell that I’m upset. I point to the same place on the wall where I usual sit her and she looks down with the world’s biggest pouty face.
Majority of the time, I’m a total sucker. I can’t go through with it unless its excessive. Its so weird. It’s a learning experience.. for the both of us.

CONTRACTS have all been notarized and mailed in! So excited. My IP’s are having trouble finding a notary in their country (I went to UPS) so hopefully they find one soon. We are all so anxious to get legal clearance. Looking forward to the next step!

Successful Weaning
It's been a little over a week and Kya-Lynn and her source of Boobie Food for the past 17 months have now separated. Such a bittersweet feeling.
I had to wean because of my surrogacy. I tried to go as long as I could, but at my medical screening our doctor told us about the medication and how it wouldn't be good if I breastfed which is totally understandable. I slowly started weaning back in December so it wasn't as bad.
The main thing I was afraid of? The bond. Her always wanting me. Her relying on my comfort to ease her pain. What was so unexpected was how much she wanted me after she completely weaned off. She wants to cuddle so much more throughout the night. She always has to have my hands somewhere on her body. It was such a relief to see how much she actually wanted me.
She still reaches for it every now and then, but she understands when I push her away. It was an easy transition.

Surrogacy
Its been almost a year since I've been on my journey. One LOOONG year, which includes the six month hold my agency wanted me on. They got back in touch with me and of course I was still interested. How could I not be?!
I was matched with a couple in January and we finally met earlier this month at our medical screening. We took a long trip to LA and spent quite some time together. We really bonded.
There was a hiccup in my insurance that our lawyers needed to get sorted out, and they did! All we're waiting on now is the test results from the screening and the final copy of the contracts.
The results should come this week. I hope it all checks out for me. It would be devastating if we came all this way for anything to set us back.
It's all in God hands; that's all I can say.

Spittin'
I’ve been real lucky to not have spitter. She threw up less times than I can count. She went her whole first month without a drop (on me at least).
This past weekend, she had to go to the ER for a gash on her forehead. She needed special skin glue. The nurse grabbed a sheet to wrap her in and laid her on the bed. She cried so hard—not a peep though and those are the worst ones. The looong quiet cry that you have to sit and concentrate on whether she’s breathing or not. Then BAAAM out comes yellow spit up. Mind you, she didn’t have anything yellow that day. It was horrible. I had to hold it together, but seeing her throw up was not a good look. She NEVER throws up. She has a stomach of steel. It’s insane. She can eat whatever, whenever and still have room for more. To see her so scared she had to throw up was just devastating.
I’m only thinking of this because it still amazes me at how much she can eat without showing signs of being sick. (knock on wood)

I-5
My little family and I have seen more of the pavement than anyone I know. We travel up and down I-5 nearly every month.
Every trip is different and every trip is worth is. We see both sides of our family from Washington down to Southern California.

Ya know. Just me every night.
Most mothers use the time after “bedtime” for their ME time. Mine? Well…
My daughter already sleeps so late (various reasons—it works for us) so my “me time” usually starts around 1:00AM. I know, I know super late. That’s just how it goes for us. This often leads me to sleep around 3 or 4…if lucky.
It’s not something I dwell on. I lose tons of sleep already; it doesn’t phase me. I rarely take naps during the day so you can only imagine how late I’d be up so.
