Looking into a strangers eyes

The taxi was 40mins late. I hate being late. Our appointment was at 1pm with Dr Shivani.
Poor Raul coped a mouth full as we didn't get to Hospital till way passed our time.
Thank goodness we still made our appointment. Needless to say after this day all drivers were
15-20mins earlier to pick us up.

Dr Shivani is a gun! getting straight into it after my scan prescribed dose for injections.
like she said "we don't have to worry about your body & prepping for pregnancy" goal was get lots of eggs, the more we get the more we can play with.

I normally would give myself the injections, however this wasn't a prepared syringe.
It involved mixing powder with liquid and although I've done that before too, it was done at home. I didn't feel comfortable doing all that preparation in a hotel bathroom. Plus the most important factor was that all medication has to refrigerated. To many things can go wrong in a hotel.
The cleaning staff may switch of refrigerator, or the may take card out of electrical socket, or even blackouts. So when i was asked if id like to come to hospital every day for my injects i said yes.
We didn't come all this way to have treatment go wrong because of no electricity.

The following day after my injections we arranged to meet Dr Shivani at the clinic.
We were shown around and introduced to staff, some, most of whom id been in contact with via emails many months ago. putting faces to names now was nice.

The clinic was amazing. We were shown every department. Seeing all those women waiting for there interviews to be assest to for the possibility of a surrogacy journey was incredible.
Walking passed them, i actually wanted to hug them. I didn't, but looking into the eyes of some,and maybe it was me being emotional.....but there was a sense of hope.
They may be giving us our biggest dream, but we in turn are giving most of them some dreams too.
The money they will receive from being a surrogate would benefit their whole family.
This income is more than they would see in 5 plus years.
See it as you will, these Indian women are doing what they can to assist their families.
In my eyes they are extraordinary.
Bless them.
