I have a date!!!!!
I am sooooo excited to finally announce that I have a date. I had my consultation with Dr. Nohr in Medicine Hat and left the office with a date in my hand. My scheduled date at the moment is for March 16, 2008. I know to some that that seems so far away but it is a drop in the bucket since the wait for our Canadian doctors can range from 1 to 5 years.
I had to keep pinching myself all the way home. I think I just might frame my paper with the date on it so I can look at it often to remind myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Of course eagerly hoping for a cancellation that just might up my date but very excited that my journey is finally beginning.
Can't wait to join everyone on the loser's bench!!!!!!

Way to go Tawna!
All right! I remember when LisaBoston got her date, and like every two weeks it got moved up on her, with cancellations and such. Hope the same goes for you...  Cheers!

Woot!!!!
Good Morning Tawna!
Congratulations!!! Until you get that date it always feels like someone could pull the rug out from under you, so it is always so great to see someone lock it in!

Enjoy your day!

Thank you all for the well wishes.
Mike I have been holding my breath until I had that date in my hand. Like you said so afraid that it just wouldn't happen.
Yes Beth with a date in hand it definitly feels like a reality.
It is so exciting to follow in the footsteps of such wonderful supportive people.
