Signing of the Contract - Take Two!

Today we signed our EA contract at AAA.  It felt good to be done with everything on our side of things.  This is as far as we got with our last failed match so we will be REALLY excited when we get word that the donor family has signed the contract as well.  The notary thought I was a little odd that we were taking pictures and I just explained to her that this was like our "You're pregnant!" moment and we wanted to remember this day.  She replied, "Oh, that wasn't how I felt when I found out I was pregnant."  (said in a voice with a tinge of disgust)  I just said "Oh" and thought in my head how sad for this lady that she (at one time) saw her baby as a burden rather than a blessing.  I realized what a gift of awareness and appreciation God has given to Dan and I through our deprivation.  I can't wait to be pregnant and make Dan a dad.  He will be such a great dad.  Tonight I just want to fast forward to October and let those babies grow!
