I'm not Crazy!

{Copied this from my Surro Blog}

Yesterday Dave and I hauled ass drove safely to San Francisco to meet with our Psychologist and take my PAI Test! Traffic was a complete mess but thank god for the carpool lanes! I may have use the carpool lane in the bay area when it was 3+, but time was of the essence and we needed to get to our appt on time! We were supposed to be at our appt by 10:15. We pulled up to the Valet at 10:00.. Bam!

{This is the only picture Dave got... Thanks Hubs.}

We got up to the office and let them know that we were there for a 10:30 appt. First off, some of those questions were really weird! I had to go into a little room where the receptionist put a laptop in front of me so I could take the test... Some of the questions were:

- I contemplate Suicide on a daily basis... 

Umm No!

- I don't like getting ads in the mail... 

Umm Yes! I freaking hate ads cluttering up my mail box!

- I often feel like a Loner... 

Uh Nope! I'm a social butterfly and love all of my friends! 

- My favorite Poet is Leonard Whatsoever.. 

Umm Who?!

After my testing, I went back out into the waiting room with Dave. A few minutes later we were called back to talk to our Psychiatrist. She was really nice and made us feel comfortable. Se asked both Dave and I questions about our decision to proceed with our Surrogacy Journey and some more private questions.

After all of that, she let me know that I had PASSED the PAI Test and that I am Not Crazy! hahaha

So the Psych Eval is checked off our To Do List!!!

Still To Do:

- LA for my Re-Evaluation with Dr. R
- Contracts!
- Schedule Transfer!!!!!

Sheesh...

A whole week without blogging.. Things have been so busy lately..

This will just be my recap of everything that has happened over the last week...

Tuesday, I had my weight check for my Surrogacy stuff. Everything went pretty well. I hate that the dr scale is always a pound or two off.. lol We are still waiting on a yay or nay from the agency/ivf dr for the go ahead.. I also posted this picture and didn't realize until I got bombarded with facebook comments... Ooops!

{No babies here!!}

Thursday, Allen had a horrible reaction to the grass. His arms, face & legs were covered in hives/welts and red splotchy areas.. He was breathing fine, so I didn't have to use the Epi-Pen, but bad enough I had to run to the store and grab some benadryl. I called his ped and they wanted to see him that day. The benadryl helped about 75% of the reaction, so he was getting some every 4-6 hours. Poor guy :(

Saturday we had a few birthday parties to go to.. The kids had a lot of fun and got to tie-dye shirts! I also made Homemade Monkey Bread!! The kids devoured it!!

Sunday was Easter!! The kids had so much fun hunting for eggs and playing with their Easter Baskets!!

Sunday was also the day my husband had a complete breakdown when our Two year old threw the remote at our not even 2 month old tv.. Yes, Allen should know better than to throw things, but he has to remember that it is just a tv. Allen realizes that he did something wrong and keeps telling Dave "sorry daddy, I broke the tb.." :( The tv can be replaced..

{Warranty covers everything except theft and if we do something to it...}

Yesterday, I had errands to run so my dad kidnapped Allen and they decided to go to the California Academy of Science. My dad said that Allen was amazing and that he actually had to pry Allen away from each exhibit. Allen would just sit there and watch the fish for a good 20 minutes. This little boy loves anything and everything that has to do with sea life! He is also infatuated with Nemo! He watches that movie at least 2-3 times a day and doesn't get sick of it.

If you got through all of this... Congratulations!

Hope you all have a great day!!

San Francisco Trip Photo Dump!

Monday was supposed to be a big purge day for me.. I had so many items to check off of my to do list.. 

But...

That all went out the window when my dad text me asking if the kids and I wanted to go somewhere. Of course I said yes! I also knew that we were gonna head to San Francisco. My dad has been wanting to go for a while, so he finally picked a day...

The kids were so excited to get out of the house and ride in papa's car. They had no idea where we were going, but then overheard my dad on the phone. 

Reagan yelled "Papa are we gonna see Nemo?!?"

Allen Yelled "Papa I wanna see Octopi!!!"

DJ yelled "I wanna see Sharks!!!"

All three kids in the car...

Our first stop was Marin Headlands... DJ and Allen were more than willing to take pictures in front of the Big Red Bridge! Reagan, not so much.. In majority of the pictures, Reagan has a grumpy face or is completely hiding her face. 

My Boys...

We got a smile...

Papa and his Grandsons :)

Mama and her babies... 

We finally made it to the Aquarium of the Bay... I have only been to the Aquarium once and the kids have never gone.. Surprisingly, Allen was the most intrigued with everything. DJ and Reagan were more or less just messing around and acting up.. It kinda pissed me off.. From now on, my dad is only taking one kid at a time.. All three were too much for him.. lol My grandparents did the same thing with me and my sister..

Jellyfish

Allen petting the Starfish.. Afterwards, his hands got really red and his face got all splotchy. 

Reagan petting the Jellyfish...

DJ petting the Jellyfish...

The kids finally saw Nemo & Dori!! They were yelling with excitement and everyone around us were laughing...

Allen finally got to see his Octopi!! He just about sh*t his pants!! This kid loves them!!

Right when we got to Pier 39, Reagan said "Mommy it smells like crab!! Can we have some crab, please!" My dad and I both laughed! This girl loves her seafood! 

Have a great wednesday!!!
