Each step of the way, our Savior has prepared for us...

Email from our clinic this morning:

Hello!!
This is to bring to your notice that your Donor has got her menses and we have started the stimulation for her.
Her egg pick up would therefore fall on the 8th / 9th of August and the embryo transfer on the 11th / 12th August.
This would be during the dates in which you would be in Mumbai.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Oh, what great news to awake to. We are ecstatic to say the least. We will be meeting a family friend while in Mumbai and look forward to some sight-seeing, as well. (When the weather permits) I have so much on my mind and was ready to place it in the blog but since I've started typing, I have drawn a blank. Has to be the excitement.

Thank you Lord for your mercy and your grace.

Stay tuned for more...

I BELIEVE

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat .. . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.
I Believe....
That just because two people argue, doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe....
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe....
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance..
Same goes for true love.
I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be..
I Believe....
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe.....
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I Believe...
That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.
I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had,
and what you've learned from them.....and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe...
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe....
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,but we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life Forever.
I Believe....
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries out to you........you will find the strength to help.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe....
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.
Thanks to all the wonderful people who help us throughout the journey of life...

Update

A month or so ago, I thought we were having to change all plans for our trip to Mumbai. I am happy to report, we have airline tickets, hotel reservations, ED and my cycles are synched and our Visa apps will be in the mail tomorrow.

OMG, last month this seemed so far away. I'm anxious, scared and nervous to say the least. DH is excited and calm. We are flying with Continental from ATL-NEW-BOM and vice versa. Tickets were very reasonable. We depart on 4AUG and return 15Aug. We will be meeting some family members there and haven't seen them in over a year.

CONGRATS to all BFP's and Baby Dust to all who aren't giving up on their dream. Please keep us in your prayers, as we continue to do the same for you.

Blessings,
C.S.
