We made our first offical steps towards the surrogacy last week. Last Monday I went in and had blood drawn for tests (5 vials, holy cow!). I asked her all that they were testing for and of course it went in one ear and out the other. The only ones I can remember are a full thyroid panel and the gamet of STD's. It feels weird to give all this information to someone I don't know well but I know it is necessary.
Friday, T and I had to go to Greensboro to meet with a psychiatrist. I was just hoping that we would not "fail" the screening, though I am not sure what that looks like. It was a good talk and overall very easy. The psychologist asked us lots of questions and as I am sure he is a great guy I could not help but think that I was going to say something wrong. I know that he is there to make sure we are not crazy (which I am confident we are not) but it was hard to not fear that I would say something wrong that would make him look at me and say "no way should you carry this child"!
I know that things are getting crazy in my life when I enjoy our "date" to the psychologist! It is the quiet time with just the two of us that I always enjoy, obviously it does not matter where that quiet time might occur.
