I can't seem to come up with a neat title for this blog.

I thought I'd take a break from reading about politics and health care reform to write a new blog. So, in a matter of days (21 to be exact), Dylan and I will officially start our surrogacy journey. I am actually going to the cardiologist (Dr. Lemon) tomorrow for a check up. I already know what he's going to say: "You know, you could just adopt. I think that's the smart choice". He's told Dylan and me that at least twice now. I know he's nervous. He took care of my mom almost 30 years ago and saw what she went through and how it affected my dad.

(Awkward Story: My dad told me the story of how Dr. Lemon came out of my mom's hospital room crying after my mom had said that she knew she was really sick. The first time I met Dr. Lemon, I said 'hey, I think you took care of mom. Her name was Judy Hockett.' His reaction? A blank stare and silence. And that was it. AWKWARD!!!!!)

Either way, once I get the green light from the doctor, Dylan and I can get things started. We have to set up an appointment with a lawyer and find a time to meet with a psychologist. And then....in six months...our surrogate will *fingers crossed* be pregnant!

So, that's the update for now. My next plan for tonight is to start my political career. No joke. I sort of want to run for public office sometime in the next few years. I smell another blog a'brewin!
