Creating Life: My Surrogacy Journey

These have been two of the hardest weeks I’ve had in along time. Waiting was excruciating. Nobody likes to wait, but oh boy was this difficult. I mean, this is a big deal , and we all just wanted to know. I went for bloodwork 6 days after the transfer. This was to make sure my levels were all good, and my body was reacting properly to the medicine and doing what it was suppose to, and possibly see if HCG was present. There wasn’t .  That early it typically isn’t a big deal though, because the baby could have just implanted late. It happens often. I talked to my nurse and she said I’d go back in a few days to see if my levels raised. Between those few days I bought so many pregnancy tests.  I started seeing two lines! Plus signs! I was THRILLED . The parents were so happy. Of course, we weren’t 100% sure since I hadn’t had more bloodwork yet. We all stayed optimistic. I think I went to the store every day to buy pregnancy tests. Who knew you could be excited...

I figured it’s about time for an update! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind ! I’ve been to DC twice in the past two weeks!!! It’s a beautiful city and I cannot wait to go back. Going there has made me want to move there, honestly. It’s so full of beauty and life , and it’s so fast paced and bright; it draws me in and completely captivates me. I flew to DC last week on the 7th, and flew home the 9th. I flew back again on the 13th and came back the 15th. Talk about exhausting ! Traveling takes a lot out of you, that’s for sure. Especially racing around airports when you don’t know the first thing about them, and making sure you don’t miss flights (I did anyways! It wasn’t my fault though!) Note to Self: For Future Reference when I travel, especially with my children, I’ll allow us at least 2 hours between connecting flights. Clearly I need to educate myself more on airports. Or Maybe I’m just too slow. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ The first time going to DC was just for a simple appointmen...
