All In

That's what if feels like now every Monday.

Win the week before, push our chips back in, anxiously await the flop, and ever so slowly peek at the cards as our fate is revealed.

Problem is, I am NOT a gambler. Seriously, can't I just take my prize and go home??? Unfortunately, not. Rules are that we've got about another 8+ worth of months to knock out before we can get up from the table.

But the good news is... we're still in the game! We are happy to report that the email(s) have arrived, as have our very first scans!

Our first Monday morning email was for Minnie. (Because both of our surrogates' names begin with an M, I am officially giving them blogging suedos of Minnie and Cher. Minnie for our super cute and tiny surro (who am I kidding they are BOTH super cute and tiny) and Cher for our single-named lady.)

In keeping with the poker analogy, let's just say, Minnie's got a full house. Literally. That's right, she is 4 for 4 at the moment. 4 gestational sacs measuring 4 weeks 5 days-- which by my calculations is the exact day they should have been measuring when we received our Monday news. Good job Minnie!

Cher, as we expected, is sporting a single sac measuring 4 weeks 3 days, and I would just like to say that I am EQUALLY proud of her. (See, won't I make a good multiples mommy?)
Anyways, it goes without saying that we are totallycompletelyoverthemoonexcited by all this news BUT equally nervousanxiousandtotallyscared that we will somehow jinx it by becoming TOO totallycompletelyoverthe moonexcited.

As a result, I have resisted the urge to write in all caps and press down on the shift+1 keys for ten straight lines. At least for the moment.

Nevertheless, this does not mean that I can't go totally crazy over somebody else's news...

CONGRATULATIONS TEMMY ON RECEIVING THE MOST WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!!!

(See you in Delhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
