the end ... to the beginning

It feels like forever since updating ... maybe not forever but a little bit at least. I started birth control - which I have not been on in over 7 years. It is making me incredibly nauseated. Which I read can be a common side effect in the first few weeks of starting it. Nausea is not on my list of top 10 things I enjoy, to say the least. But I am trying to take it in stride and just deal. Lots of water and eating small meals through out the day tends to help! I have been on a huge kick of home made soups and chili lately - and my instant pot makes it so easy. I have to say - I LOVE watching snow fall and the look of fresh snow. I also love the soups and stews that come along with winter. Driving in it and wet shoes - no thanks. I can leave that aspect! So now that I am off track ... let's refocus.

We have been in legal for about 2 or so weeks I think .. I might have lost track a bit, it happens.
I really have no idea what I was expecting. I knew there would be back and forth, some give and take. It was not awful, but not fun. I can't imagine anyone really likes being in negotiations.
I know we are, and I hope our IPs are completely comfortable and happy. It is interesting to watch language evolve and hope that your intentions are coming across how you want them to. It is so hard when you can not explain yourself directly!
My husband is involved with negotiations with his work often, so he knows how things go. He stepped back and had me navigate (of course giving opinion when he had it and supporting me - this has always been our decision so he was not going to take a total back seat) - and it was really empowering, and scary at times. But we have a great attorney who led us through everything step by step - never judged when we had questions and explained things that maybe I was reading or understanding differently.

I am so excited to move forward and I sure hope our IPs are too with us!
So as this journey of medical work ups, legal and no direct communication with the IPs, ends ... we are beginning a whole new journey of getting to talk to one another and get to know each other more as this process moves forward. It is starting medications and receiving our calendar that will lead us up to the transfer!

Until next time!
