Today has been one of those days as a parent that I will never forget.There have been many moments as a Mom of 3 that I’ve been proud, but today was definitely a TOP 10 kind of moment.As I drove up to the hotel to pick up my daughter Christina, she jumped in the car, and I said, you ready?? She answered, Of course, I cant wait!!! Of course we talked back and forth, as I wanted to ensure she was, and that if she had any second thoughts, she would discuss them with the Dr, and that she was able to change her mind at any time, but at 20, and being my daughter, being stubborn comes naturally!! She assured me again, she was good with it!!
So we drove out of the parking lot, on our way.Where were we going??? A fertility clinic, of course!!! Why?? For her to donate her eggs like had, of course!!!
It was surreal, imagining that my daughter had decided to do this, and that she was old enough to.Where had the time gone? It feels like only yesterday that she was paying hide and go seek with me in between the clothing racks at walmart- what happened?? Where did the time go??
As we met with the Dr, and his nurse, they started counting the follicles, of course Christina is nervously asking a few questions, but when we were done, she looked at me and instead of what I would think she’d say, Oh my gosh there were lots of eggs, will I be okay, Instead she says, there are so many eggs, why don’t they split them between lots of couples.So we had the, “how to keep egg donation ethical” talk, which she got, but still wanted to make sure the eggs get used, and not wasted.Oh, to be 20 again.So full of excitement!
I will be updated the blog, as she goes through her monitoring appointments, and retrieval, as a way to honour her beautiful gift of Egg Donation,
One proud Mamma!
