Eggcellent!!!!



Just call me Ms. Chicken! Yes, that's right I've been picked by another family to receive my eggs. So as I sit here on my nest waiting for my eggs to grow I decided to blog about this experience. This will be my  second time to have a family pick me for my eggs. June 2010 I went through the first experience and looking back now I wish I would have blogged about it. Not to be an anti baby person more than I am already I just don't want kids. Sad I know b/c I would be the ultimate mommy with craft time! First off I'm scared to death of babies... second they are so tiny and small it freaks me out. Once they get to about age 2 I'm good to hold them. Ha! Needless to say I do not want children and I'm thankful Jason has his sweet little girl Ali for me to play with and do craft projects with!

When I found my new OBGYN (yay cookie doctor) I saw an info packet about being an egg donor and a light bulb went off in my head. Why wouldn't I do this? It's perfect for me! These poor families cannot have children and I'm wasting all of these eggs when they could be passed onto someone else in need for the loving of a sweet blue eyed baby! (Hopefully they get my eyes!) So I decided to ask more questions and started the process of being a donor. I LOVE IT! I get so emotional thinking of parents struggling to have a baby and thinking about me being selfish not wanting any kiddos.

This is not an easy job either! When people find out what I go through to donate my eggs they understand it's not so easy! I have to give myself 2 shots a day for about a week and a half sometimes 3 shots. Then I have to drive to Chattanooga to have the "HARVEST" of my eggs. This would include putting me to sleep and retrieving the eggs from my ovaries. A LOT OF WORK... huh? Yep, I have to change my hours around at work in order for me to go to my daily appts for blood work and ultra sounds. Gotta make sure this chicken is growing her eggs and not just one egg... MANY OF EGGS!!!! I believe they were able to retrieve 12 eggs last year... yep... perfect dozen... hehehe! :)

I'm going to try and keep up daily with the progress of this egg harvest. Not just for the people who think I'm crazy for doing this but to remind me of the amazing thing I've done for a mother and a father who before me wouldn't be able to carry their own baby. The families pick me from my doctors data base. They have full medical history of me and my family. Pictures of me from birth up until now and my wonderful nurses tell them about my personality and how much of a caring person I am for doing this.

What do I get from this... emotional joy of knowing someone that couldn't have a baby now can!!! Yes.. there is a little MeG running around somewhere but I don't think of it that way at all! I didn't carry the baby it wasn't my partners sperm it was the fathers sperm and the mother carried it. All I can hope for is this child be the sweetest kindest little boy or girl or multiples for this family. Please oh please don't come out being a little brat like I was when I went through my bratty/ bossy stages! ;)

Let this egg growing begin! bawk bawk!!!
