Since my husband and I both work for the school district we have the summer off. We are actually traveling even more than normal this summer. Hence, the diptheria shot I mentioned a few posts ago. In six short days we are off to London! We have been planning this trip since last Sept. when we got the phone call with our last negative BETA. We had no more frozen embryos and no more parental financial support. In tears, I called our wonderful travel agent and told her to book me a cruise to Europe. She found us a great deal and I can't believe we are actually going. Since it was such a long time away we just figured that if we were pregnant by now we would cancel it and get a full refund. We discussed this trip with our surrogate and the agency. We didn't want J to feel like we took off to Europe and left her behind to do the dirty work. Everyone encouraged us to go. I am SO glad we are going. First of all, it has been something for me to look forward to. Second, we really just need to get away from everything for awhile--together.
We are flying to London next Sat. (June 3) and we are staying there for 3 days. Then we board a ship in Harwich for a 12-night Northern European cruise. Europe is a trip we have put off for 6 years now. A very cool thing is that we will be celebrating our 6 year anniversary on the ship. We will still have access to our e-mail but I will not be able to post while we are gone. If you guys post comments here I will get them though. :)
I will still be around for a few more days and will definitely let you know how the ultrasound on Tuesday goes. I am still trying to be hopeful about it all. We will be leaving for London at 8 weeks 4 days into the pregnancy. Last year the heartbeat stopped at 8 weeks 5 days. Needless to say we will be checking our e-mail alot and trying not to worry while we are away.

Your trip will be wonderfully relaxing and exciting all at the same time. The baby will continue to grow and thrive- no complications. Because "I" say so.
Enjoy yourself. It sounds absolutely divine!
Can't wait till you get back!
I agree totally with Dee. You'll have a wonderful vacation, one you've been waiting for, and need. Your baby will be just fine. Dee says it will be so, and "I" say so too - no complications, just lots of growth and development. Enjoy - you deserve it!
Go and try to relax and enjoy your vacation as much as you can -- you deserve to. Those early measurements can be off a lot just based on where the cursor was when they clicked the mouse. A heartbeat is always good news.....looking for more good news to come.
