What a year it has been! Every year seems to go by a little faster, despite trying to slow it down. I suppose that is all one can do - slow down and enjoy the journey!

We picked back up on our surrogacy journey in January of this year, so seems fitting the transfer should occur in January of this upcoming. 27 days to go if we remain on track.

Lupron is going well. My oldest 2 insisted on watching me today do the injection and the younger kept saying "ow ow ow I feel it - it hurts!" - she makes me laugh. The injection itself does not hurt but the headaches from it - have been rough. I was able to cuddle up with my youngest and grab a 2.5 hour nap yesterday. Though the headache really never went away, it was not as bad. I am going to head to the chiropractor this next week for a session or two and continue leading up to transfer.

I might also splurge (we can call it a late birthday gift to myself) and buy a shoulder/neck massager on amazon. The reviews are good, and the lady looks pretty happy (joke there, btw). I tend to get really tight in my shoulder area and hold tension there. So it really cant hurt, right? Has anyone tried one before they can recommend?
I take my last birth control pill tomorrow - yay! One less thing to remember ... for a bit. Then more will be added. Everything is laid out pretty clearly so I don't anticipate any issues!

-21 when I left the house this morning to go get gas and grocery shop. I was pretty jealous of everyone at home but there was no way we could wait another day and no way everyone was coming with. So off I went. I might have taken a little extra time walking around Target since I was alone - there were not many people out (I wonder why!) when I arrived and it was just starting to pick up when I left. 

I suppose I can be cheesy here and say ... until next year!!
